Martin Nieverra Launches His New Album "Ikaw Ang Pangarap"

The Philippine's concert king Martin Nieverra launches an all tagalog album Ikaw Ang Pangarap.

Ikaw ang Pangarap is Martin's first album to contain all Filipino songs. It is a compilation of his Tagalog songs, including the theme songs for ABS-CBN shows Lobo ("Ikaw ang Pangarap"), Vietnam Rose ("Magpahanggang Wakas"), and Lastikman ("Maging Anupaman Para Sa'yo").

According to Martin, he worked twice as hard on Ikaw ang Pangarap compared to any other album he has recorded, citing the fact that he is not as proficient in the vernacular as he is in English.

"Tagalog is such a challenge for me," said Martin. "It has been a dream to record all new Filipino songs. I am glad that this is part of my collection. I am officially a Filipino singer with this album."

Of all the songs in the album, he enjoys singing "Ikaw ang Pangarap" and "Kailangan Kita," both penned by Ogie Alcasid. According to Martin, "Kailangan Kita" demonstrates how Filipino songs should be sung. "My soul is singing, not my mouth," he even quipped.

The 15-track Ikaw ang Pangarap also includes other Filipino songs such as "Ikaw Lang Ang Mamahalin" and "May Minamahal."
