Universal Records released the
official music video of Isang Gabi by Julie Anne San Jose at exactly 12 noon
today, January 12. The Asia’s Pop Diva collaborated with singer- songwriter
Rico Blanco.
The said music video premiered on
MYX yesterday. I was not able to watch it, so I kept on checking it out on
YouTube until the recording company stated that it will be shown in their channel.
I did not rush to our dining area just for it (that fanboying moment).
The first part of the material is
mystic. There is the clip of a forest area, balcony, and façade of a church
that appeared in black and white. The sound, seeing Julie in different scenes,
and Sir Rico wearing black suit, gave me goosebumps. The level of excitement
went higher.
In the music video, Julie is
portraying a character of a woman who loves a man, but their relationship is
untimely as the latter is going to marry someone else. The story is told in the
perspective of a person who happens to be the third party. This is verified
based on the Making of Isang Gabi video wherein Julie and Rico revealed what is
the song all about. JAPS said that is very sad song. The video confirmed it.
There was agony, there was begging. Julie effectively breathed the character.
Based on my observation, Rico’s
character is like a witness or the conscience. He saw everything the bitter and
tormenting experiences of the woman whose sin is loving someone in a desperate
situation (Aww!). Asking for one night is a painful relief.
The song is really a masterpiece. Julie sang it well. It is heartbreaking. The lyrics permeate to the heart and soul.
The six- minute video is really
puzzling. The song is intelligently done as well as the music video. Thank you,
Rico for making a quality song for Julie. You brought out the best of her.
Congratulations, Julie. You are
versatile. You never failed to amaze me. #YesToJulie
