HE has a distinctive voice that evokes sweet
memories to the listeners. With his cherub-like charm and
refreshing appeal, Richard Poon’s classy rendition of all-time
favorite love songs has made him the only big-band crooner of
this generation.
And after a string of hits tucked under his
sleeves courtesy of his double platinum album – "I’ll Take Care
of You Platinum Edition" – and bagging back to back awards from
Aliw and Awit Awards last year, Richard returns to what he does
best – singing unforgettable songs about love, and other
saccharine musings. His special double disc album entitled "For
You," released under MCA Music, is a 12-track compilation of
masterfully arranged melodies and timeless pieces of which much
of these efforts is put together by Poon himself, and infusing
his own brand of music to make his fans fall in love again.
The album features his current single: "Kumot
at Unan," and includes familiar tunes such as: "You and I,"
"Complicated," "You Are the Sunshine of My Life," "Kahit Ika’y
Panaginip Lang," "Blue Moon," "(They Long To Be) Close to You,"
"Portrait of My Life," "Kahit ‘Di Mo Napapansin," "For You,"
among others. Said album will have a grand launch tonight at 8
at the Eastwood Mall Open Park and is now available in Odyssey
and O Music stores and other record bars nationwide.
Aside from promoting his album, Richard Poon
also keeps himself busy with regular gigs at the Eastwood City
every Tuesday, 8 p.m. and is also a regular guest at various
ABS-CBN shows that include: ASAP "Sessionista" (Sundays 12
noon); MYX (Studio 23); and mall shows.
