Disco Fever, The Pinoy Style

Boyfriends, the first ever super boy band of the Philippines, adds a new CD to its growing catalogue: "Boyfriends Platinum Hits: Pinoy Disco Fever." It is a fifteen-track album that includes favorites like "Sumayaw, Sumunod," "Bakit Labis Kitang Mahal," "Nais Kong Malaman Mo," "Dahil Mahal Kita," remixed in a modern sound.

The album displays Boyfriends' easy, breezy Manila vibe, whilst simultaneously showcases the different remixes of each song. Yes, in a non-stop, all-night spin CD form, each song is treated in different ways. "Bakit Labis Kitang Mahal," is done down tempo style, "Dahil Mahal Kita" is given the house music touch, and "Salawahan," a hip hop feel. "Oras Oras" takes you to the ever-popular chill out scene, as "Pagtibok ng Puso," world music.

As if the fifteen songs are not enough for a party-hardy night, a bonus medley track is found at the very end. Fittingly called "Medley," five songs are meshed in together for a grand slam finale.

Boyfriends is amongst the most-loved groups that made popular the so-called Manila sound. They exploded into the scene in 1978 with the massive hit, "Dahil Mahal Kita." Known for their happy laid-back, "Manila-sque" tunes, the group went on spurning songs like "Nais Ko Malaman Mo," "Araw Araw," and "Umaapoy."

Never to be irrelevant or dated, "Boyfriends Platinum Hits: Pinoy Disco Fever" shows a more updated Boyfriends for the new and modern times.

"Boyfriends Platinum Hits: Pinoy Disco Fever" is now available on CDs in all Tatak Pilipino outlets, released by Pinoyvision Records. - -
