Arthur Nery is hitting two birds with one stone by releasing his second album, II: The Second Album, while also gearing up for a solo concert.
The album, under Viva Records, is his first release in five years, following the success of his debut, Letters Never Sent, in 2019. It features ten tracks, including “Na Naman,” “I Gotchu,” “Lullaby,” “Di Nakakasawa,” “Get Going,” “O Ninanais,” “Nasa ‘King Damdamin,” “Foolish,” “Paalam Lang ang Palagi,” and “Segundo, Siguro.”
According to Arthur, The Second Album expanded his artistry and introduced new flavors to his music through collaborations with artists such as Kiyo, Jolianne, and Jon.
“Arthur’s dedication to his craft is evident, as he took an active role in producing and arranging the album. His smooth vocals, clever wordplay, and emotive melodies are expected to shine throughout the collection, captivating both new and longtime listeners,” Viva Records said in a statement.
In addition to the album release, Nery will headline a concert at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on October 25. This performance marks his return to the iconic venue after a sold-out show at the New Frontier Theater in 2022.
Fans can look forward to a mix of fresh tracks from II alongside chart-topping hits like “Pagsamo” and “Take All The Love,” making this concert one of the most anticipated events in the OPM scene this year.
Discussing his preparations for the concert, Arthur expressed his excitement and commitment. “I was surprised and asked Boss Vic [del Rosario] if I was really ready for this. So now I am in my physical preparations for the concert. I should be fit enough for the show,” he said.
