Erik Santos' Album : The Jim Brickman Songbook

Thursday, October 29, 2009 by: JM

Erik Santos is one of the well-known Filipino singer inside and outside of the country. As he is titled the Prince of Pop. He is recognized in abroad such as when he was invited to sing alongside other Asian superstars in the Asian Night of the five-day Closing Ceremony of the Beijing Olympics Cultural Festival.

Erik is here again showing his superb talent through the album namely "The Jim Brickman Song Book". No less than world-class singer/composer Jim Brickman produced his 10-track album. Erik recorded his album in Jim Brickman’s studio in Los Angeles.

Erik was so happy when he heard of this project with Jim Brickman. He used to sing his songs during school events and I never imagined that I will be working with him one day.

"He is my idol! All his songs like Valentine, The Gift, Angel Eyes and Simple Things are inspiring and timeless. I am lucky to have this once in a lifetime chance,”- Erik Santos

Even though Erik Santos got this much success, he's still the same person who is down-to-earth.

For me, I'll rate this album 5 stars.

Each song is so relaxing. The new version of the songs of Jim Brickman is so great. This proves him being a versatile singer for doing well in different genres of music.

Here are the songs inside the album:

By Heart
If I Just Believed
The Gift
Valentine
My Love is Here
Destiny
It's a Sin to Break My Heart
Love of My Life
Your Love
Where's the Good in Goodbye

"My love is here" is the current theme song in Katorse and I really liked it so much. That is the song I loved the most in the album followed by Destiny which is my long-time favorite love song.

Here's the music video of My love is here.
