Turn the volumes up for the multi-platinum recording artist and the country’s Rock Princess, Yeng Constantino, is back to delight her fans and listeners once again after a break in the recording scene.

The Grand Star Dreamer of Pinoy Dream Academy season one disclosed that for quite some time, she experienced a writer’s block which made composing difficult for her. “Nagka-writer’s block ako talaga. Ang tagal rin bago ako naka-recover.Sobrang pressured ako pagkatapos ng mga hit singles ko,” Yeng said.

Yeng became apprehensive but she did not let anxiety take over her talent. Together with her determination to write songs again was to simply enjoy every moment, every performance and pay no heed to any mounting pressure.

One of Yeng’s inspirations for her to push through with her third album entitled “LAPIT” is Raymund Marasigan, former Eraserheads drummer and now, Sandwich’s vocalist. “I was the one who asked Raymund to produce my next album. I am a big fan of his. He taught me how to have fun while still being serious on my career,” Yeng enthused. “Natatahimik talaga ako kasi ang gaganda ng mga ideas niya.”

Why the album title, LAPIT? “Maraming reasons e, ito kasi yung album na feeling ko na sobrang lapit sa akin kasi ako ang gumawa ng mga lyrics(parang Hawak Kamay at Salamat) kaya very personal sa akin itong album. Tsaka, malapit na malapit sa akin ngayon ang mga fans ko kasi may ginawa akong kanta para sa kanila…yung “Pag Ayaw Mo Na”. Malapit din ako ngayon kay Lord kasi may personal na communication ako sa Kanya and malapit ko na din ako sa mga dreams ko, isa-isa na silang natutupad.” Yeng added .

Yeng explained that her collaboration with Raymund has the approval and support of Star Records.. “Pinayagan naman ako ng Star Records. I asked my bosses and they allowed me to do this,” Yeng shared. “Nakakatuwa nga e. Ako gumawa ng lyrics nang mga kanta at si Kuya Rayms ang gumawa ng melody. Sobrang saya ko kasi dati-rati, nakikita ko lang siya sa MYX and akala ko dati, hanggang duon na lang yun. Now, si Kuya Rayms pa ang ka-collaborate ko sa album. Salamat salamat din sa Star Records kasi pinayagan nila ako…”

After Yeng’s platinum-awarded albums namely, ‘Salamat’ and ‘Journey,’ comes her third album entitled “LAPIT”. With songs to make your heads sway to the beat, Yeng’s newest album is sure to reap awards in the music scene. Tracks include “Wag Kang Magtatanong”, “Jeepney LoveStory”, “Pag Ayaw Mo Na”, “Siguro”, “Takas”, “Maghihintay”, “Wag Na”,   “Akin Ka Na” and “Siguro” with carrier single  “Lapit” that radio listeners are starting to rave about.
