Gel Aquino reaches iTunes Top 10 chart with 'Kinakaya'
“Kinakaya” is available on digital platforms beginning May 24.
Gel Aquino has made it to the Top 8 spot of iTunes Philippines with her single, "Kinakaya."
The singer-songwriter wrote the song in 2020 after her grandmother's untimely death.
“Sinulat ko ito noong time na active ako magsulat at mag-compose ng kanta. Noong time din na ‘to brokenhearted ako and very depressed, pandemic noon tapos nawala na ‘yung lola ko. Hindi ko nalaman agad na nawala na pala siya, two months later ko na nalaman. So para din ito sa lola ko at sa mga taong nakaranas na iwan ng mahal nila,” she recalled.
Through her music, Gel wants to help those in need of comfort from a loss. “The message of the song is that we need to endure the pain that we feel from a person who left us. Kailangan natin ng time para makapag-heal and ‘wag tayong mawawalan ng pag-asa at isipin na itong pain na ito ay wala nang katapusan. Darating ang panahon na sasaya ka ulit at magiging mas malakas ka. You can transform yourself to be a better person then.”
“Kinakaya” will be available on digital platforms beginning May 24.
