{mosimage}There was a blind item in yesterday’s column about a big-label company’s impending launch of a new song by the label’s new artist, calculated to be a big hit. The radio teasers and the blind item have kept the record-industry guessing.

So who is the “new artist” and what is the song to be released by what company?

Yes, it’s Rico Blanco, former frontman of Rivermaya, who is now on solo flight, and the song is none other than Yugto from Warner Music Philippines which is now Rico’s new home.

“Yugto marks the dawning of a new era in OPM,” said a Warner spokesperson. After he split from Rivermaya, Rico (still remembered also as the former boyfriend of KC Concepcion) went on a year-long leave from the local music scene and toured the US and Europe.

Yugto is the carrier single of Rico’s first album as a solo artist in which he showcases more of his talent as a producer, songwriter, collaborator and performer.

From his hiatus, Rico emerges as a bolder artist who dares to experiment on different sounds and create a new kind of music that reflects all that he has experienced. Described as his most ambitious project, Yugto is about an epic battle in a man’s heart, echoing his quest for meaning in his existence and his views of the world.

“Be ready for a new taste in Pinoy rock music,” added the Warner spokesperson.

 Asked about his thoughts on Yugto, Blanco simply replied, “I can’t wait to play the song live.”

Yugto is the first of a series of singles from the album scheduled to be released under Warner Music Philippines next month.
