Fame and stardom could be the only destiny for Jolina Magdangal. After all, Jolina is among those few Filipino entertainers who could roll her roles all at the same time, from singer to actress, from TV host to Pinoy Idol juror. That is why Destiny is a fitting title for her third album under GMA Records. Destiny is packed with ten unforgettable love songs ranging from soothing ballads to electronica-sounding upbeat pop songs.
There are three English revivals in this album, with Will of the Wind as the carrier single and the theme song of her upcoming movie, I.T.A.L.Y, produced by GMA Films. In this opening song, Jolina's steady voice rises over heavy piano, accompanied with guitar and drums. Singing with confidence of her years in the field of music, her rendition is a testament to her "befriending the will of the wind". This is why she keeps her head high in an industry filled with up-and-coming talents.
In When I Fall In Love, Jolina takes out the somber tone from the experience of falling in love with an upbeat rendition that can almost make the listener dance. She also does this in her version of Fra Lippo Lippi's Stitches and Burns.
Among the tracks in the album, Pangako ng Puso, Umibig Ka, and T'wing Kasama Kita have the simplest lyrics, which Jolina successfully utilizes to convey heartfelt messages of love - the central theme of this album. Hanngang Kailan is a soulful ballad, and Jolina's voice echoes with questions about the persistence of love and its accompanying hopefulness.
Also noteworthy are Isang Taon and Bukas ang Iyong Puso. In both songs, there is a sense of coming back to a place or a person where the singer can only find true joy and peace. Who knows, maybe it is still in the original Filipino home with a family and God that the true destiny of Jolina lies for her to claim and embrace once more.
Produced by GMA Records and distributed by Universal Records, Destiny is now available in Astroplus and Astrovision outlets nationwide.
