Jay-R & Kyla

The 2 well-known R&B superstars will be performing in the Southeast Asia soon.

They went to Jakarta to sign the three-year contract with Tarra Group Indonesia, the company that will manage the release of their respective albums in the country. The songs will be recorded in Bahasa, the native dialect in Indonesis. This technique will let the Indonesian fans learn their music. The albums also feature their duets with popular Indonesian pop stars. TV and radio guestings, mall tours, and MTV shoots will be done for promo blitz. through the sponsorship of Universal Records and PolyEast Records, their respective record labels, Jay-R and Kyla fruitfully entered the Malaysian and Indonesian markets.

With the different bands of today like Kamikazee, Hale, Cueshe and Sugarfree, fresh ones can also show plenty of promises to lead the music line.

There must be ways and ways for new ones like the General Luna band, having five beautiful girls like the Pussycat Dolls but with no sexy bop moves. The girls can also thought as Sampaguita from the late '70s, a beautiful Pinay who can dish out Pinoy rock tunes.

The band's name, General, came about because the girls felt their music needed a masculine vibe and the second word, Luna, means moon, which conveys something womanly.

To start making a career move, the Rivermaya frontman, Rico Blanco will showcase for the first time his acting moves in television.

After 15 years of being a singer-musician, Rico Blanco will be working now in the new world of the Kapamilya's upcoming series Imortal with Angel Locsin and John Lloyd Cruz as the lead stars.
