Splendid house

Splendid houseIt easily caught my excitement upon finding out that the compilation being put out by the recently launched KDR Music House featured the group Splendio Tritus. I encountered this sibling act in 2019 after editing a coffee table book partly honoring the talents of persons with disabilities. 

This pop rock band from Lipa, Batangas was formed by parents Agripino Jr. and Florie Ferrer to empower a talented son with autism.   

The photo-driven hardbound titled “Inspire/Empower: Images and Stories of Persons With Disabilities in the Philippines” was put out by the Federation of Philippine Photographers Foundation, Inc., headed by veteran lensman Lito Beltran. The project’s head photographer Cris Cleofas introduced me to the band which upon deeper scrutiny I found to be truly gifted.

Splendio Tritus delivers the strong cut 'But We Never' in KDR Music House 11-track compilation 'Loving You.'

Small wonder that their entry to the compilation, But We Never, is so far the most streamed among the 11 tracks included. The song is a slow pop rock that boasts a beautifully pleading melody. 

The chorus sung by Nicolle Laurie grabs you like you’re listening to a superbly admired ‘90s hit from The Cranberries. I suggest that their supporters start calling them as The Cranberries of the Philippines.

With its name taken from Latin words partly to mean, “we shine,” Splendio Tritus looks prime to illuminate through the help of KDR Music House that caters to just the kind of artist the group is — having their own style and musical approach. 

It is noted that the company has “welcomed various artists who came from different musical backgrounds but had the same burning passion for making life-changing music.”   

Released on digital stores last Sept. 17, the 11-track compilation Loving You was helmed by musical director Adonis Tabanda. 

“I had fun working on this album because the artists are essentially on the same page with us. They all understand what it takes to record in this new normal set-up.”   

Nine other artists are featured on the collection, with Princess Sevillena, the first-ever Wishcovery grand champion, having two songs, “Patawad Na,” and “If I Could.” Rhea Basco, the grand champion of Wishcovery Season 2, shows off her impressive vocals with “Sana Ako Na Lang.” Balladeer Ace Bartolome should inspire us with his ode on never giving up, “Silungan,” as Gherns Calina, a pop-soul singer-songwriter, debuted with her single “Kaya.” Wishful belter Carmela Ariola exhibits her sweet sound with her feel-good “Prinsipe,” while songstress Louie Anne Culala showcases her power range with “Di Mahal.” This track convinces us to realize that one can’t buy love because it is priceless.   

Rounding up the lineup are the vocally sentimental Jheorge Normandia (“Pinili Nyang Mahalin Ka”), the youthful Elisha Pontanares (“Proud to Say”), and Kimberly Baluzo who took her talent to new heights with the folk-rock “Panandalian.”   

KDR Music House is a publishing company meant to embrace the advantages of digital platform, social media, and the technology-driven artistry of today’s artists without sacrificing musical integrity and timelessness.    

With Splendio Tritus and mates shining through, KDR’s positive message is heard loud and clear.
