BRITISH singer-songwriter Julia Fordham will ignite the Philippine
concert circuit during the busy month of love and romance. Fordham
has confirmed that she will perform in a series of shows in Manila
and Cebu for Valentine’s.
Organized and produced by the creative
think-tank of Ayala Malls, Fordham’s concert series is sure to
delight her jazz fans in Manila and Cebu. Until this day,
Fordham’s hit songs have remained in the playlist of jazz lovers
all over the country. After hitting the top of the charts with the
song “Happy Ever After,” she came up with the critically
acclaimed album Porcelain, which included popular tracks like
“Manhattan Skyline” and “Lock and Key.”
But two songs remain close to the hearts of her
Filipino fans: “Love Moves in Mysterious Ways” and “Invisible
War,” two songs that will be part of her repertoire. “I have
always loved the Philippines. Your people know and understand and
feel music the way it should be. I am looking forward to my trip
this February,” she was quoted as saying.
The jazz sensation has recently just completed
her tenth album titled China Blue, a CD that is overflowing with
original gems composed by Fordham and produced and arranged by the
multi-instrumentalist Grant Mitchell. Released through an Internet
company, called NovaTunes, China Blue has another winner in the song
“For You, Only For You,” a simple track with amazing piano and
violin instrumentations that complement Fordham’s hauntingly
beautiful vocals.
Fordham is scheduled to perform at the Alabang
Town Center Activity Center on February 8, TriNoma Activity Center
on February 9, Glorietta Activity Center on February 10, Ayala
Center Cebu on February 13, and Greenbelt 3 Park on February 15.
