walk on water

Before she left for her US Tour, Kitchie Nadal made a guest appearance in Soul Ties 2, a show at Bagaberde which features Lana J, Joaquin and Quest (Kitchie and Lana J are both managed by Roca Cruz). It was a no-covers night so Kitchie chose to sing two new unreleased songs: 'Walk on Water' and 'Buwan.' What a treat for the audience! It's quite a thrill to hear these new songs which also feature a new sound -- I especially like 'Walk on Water' which Kitchie performed mixed with electronic music provided by DJ Akshai Sarin. WoW is yes, as the title implies, about faith and to me it sounds autobiographical ("I am a human shooting star...").

'Buwan' is a Tagalog song with a very interesting melody which sounded to me like a fusion between Indian and Mindanaoan dance music (pang-alay?), very catchy. And magaling talaga si Kitchie when she writes in Tagalog.

I'm glad Kitchie is not afraid to experiment and try new things. Ay, I can't wait for that second album! :-)
