Rising singer-songwriter Jenzen Guino drops a cross-cultural collaboration with his debut EP, TO:U, his first all-English release, through EMI Records Philippines.
The three-track project sees Guino teaming up with Singaporean hybrid record label PARKA, its creative head, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Teem (Timothy Liew), as well as producers Dominic Yuan and Cialeo Matias.
“TO: U is a deep exploration of love, heartbreak, and emotional reflection. By combining Jenzen’s vulnerable songwriting with Timothy’s signature polished production, bridging the landscape into a seamless, honest narrative on navigating romance and loss,” according to the press release.
“Our goal was to capture the essence of Jenzen’s storytelling style as he made the leap from Tagalog to English, and we’re incredibly honoured that he trusted us to bring his first all-English EP to life,” shares Liew.
As the creative lead at PARKA, Liew has had his hand in the production of emerging and established acts in both Singapore and the Philippines. He has worked on projects such as Regina Song’s “the cutest pair” and “ikaw, ikaw, ikaw” by ICEBOX and Eliza Maturan.
In September, Guino joined Australian multi-hyphenate artist Jack Gray as a special guest on the latter’s Swimming In Jeans album tour across Australia and New Zealand.
