It’s going to be the romantic date
concert of the season as former Westlife front man Shane Filan returns to the
Philippines for his first solo major concert.
The much awaited concert happening
on October 1, 2014 at the World Trade Center Manila is part of Shane’s ongoing
You & Me World Tour to promote his debut album.
From the biggest hits of his former
group, songs from his debut album and some of the most requested tunes from his
fans, Shane promises there’s going to be a favorite for everyone in the crowd.
“I know a lot Filipinos are romantic
so I’ve prepared a list of songs that’s going to make you sing, dance and fall
in love again,” he said.
Shane also hinted about doing a few
covers of some classic love songs and teased about an unexpected mashup that
will surprise even his long time fans.
This will be Shane’s first ever
major show in Manila after the Irish Boyband’s sentimental farewell tour back
in 2011.
Last year, Shane came back to Manila
to promote his Everything to Me EP and promised all his fans to come back for a
solo concert and share his debut album.
The new album is dominated by
up-tempo and mid-tempo songs, a reflection of his own record collection, mixing
pop, soul, country and even a hint of traditional Irish music. It has also been
well received by fans and critics who described as a “progression from
Westlife’s sound… the end result is a collection of adult contemporary songs
that mix a variety of musical styles.”
Shane revealed that he took
inspiration from the likes of The Lumineers, Train and Mumford & Sons when
writing and recording the album.
"I got off to a really good
start, Shane said adding, “Everything to Me felt like beginners' luck, but I
didn’t know how good it was. Then the label were phoning, going "This is
great!" I’d shown to myself I could do this and that took the pressure
off.”
The album features writing credits
and production from the likes of Steve Mac, Wayne Hector, Nick Atkinson, Paul
Barry, Cass Lowe, Patrick Mascall, Kylie Sackley, Brandon Hood and Martin
Terefe, who has also produced songs for big name artists such as Lana Del Rey,
Enrique Iglesias, LeAnn Rimes, Faith Hill and Jason Mraz.
