Unique Salonga surprises fans with comeback album 'Daisy'

Unique Salonga surprised the local music scene and his fans with the release of his new album.

“Daisy” is the singer’s third album and the first one he released after three years. It was released under O/C Records.

The album has seven songs, including the “Daisy” intro and reprise. Its main tracks are “Haring Araw,” “Away Bati,” “Di Mapalagay,” “Panahon,” and “Kabanata.”

According to Unique, “Daisy” is a compilation of songs that has a minimalistic approach in terms of arrangement.

“It is an album that was created using only limited or thoughtfully selected sounds, which I find to be challenging to do,” he said in a press statement.

“The title ‘Daisy’ aligns well with the album’s concept and sound, as it symbolizes simplicity, peace, and love,” he added.

In 2018, Unique released his debut solo album “Grandma,” which featured the hit tracks “Sino” and “Midnight Sky.”

Two years later, he released “PANGALAN:” which includes “Huwag Ka Sanang Magagalit” and “Lamang Lupa.”

Unique is set to hold an official album launching event and a series of bar shows in the coming months.

Unique rose to fame as the vocalist of IV of Spades. He left the band in 2018.

IV of Spades continued with members Zild Benitez, Blaster Silonga, and Badjao De Castro. However, the band has been on hiatus since 2020 to allow the members to pursue personal interests.

The original band lineup was spotted in 2022 at the Eraserheads reunion concert rehearsal. —Nika Roque/JCB, GMA Integrated News
