Some of the biggest and brightest names in the Philippine music industry will give life to the chosen 15 songs for the “Himig Handog Pinoy Pop (P-POP) Love Songs 2014.”
“The competition is stiffer now because of the wide array of genres of the songs composed by a blend of veteran and new composers. And because of that, we have an exciting mix of singers who will interpret our new ‘Himig Handog’ hits,” said Star Music head Roxy Liquigan about the newest edition of the country’s biggest songwriting competition.
“Angeline Quinto, Daniel Padilla, Juris, Bugoy Drilon, Jovit Baldivino, Marion Aunor, Jessa Zaragoza, and KZ Tandingan are all coming back as ‘Himig Handog’ interpreters. But we also have a lot of first-timers like Ebe Dancel and Abra, Jugs and Teddy, Janella Salvador, Morisette Amon, Hazel Faith dela Cruz, Michael Pangilinan, and Jed Madela,” Liquigan said.
