Joining #LoveThrowback for a second time, Diamond Soul Siren Nina will deliver another stunning performance with her rendition of “Through the Fire,” “I Love You Goodbye,” and “Love Moves in Mysterious Ways.”

Reality show Star in a Million finalist Christian Bautista has gone a long way and has captivated many hearts both here and abroad. The Asian Pop Superstar’s chart-toppers “Colour Everywhere,” “The Way You Look at Me,” and his rendition of “Hands to Heaven” will grace audiences this year with sweet musical caresses.

Finally to cap off the night, the original Kilabot ng Kolehiyala Hajji Alejandro will take OPM back to its founding years with “May Minamahal,” “Nakapagtataka,” and “Panakip Butas.”

All Good with Asia’s diamond soul siren Nina

Tweet

Nina,  hitmaker and Asia’s diamond soul siren is back! She set the bar high for female singers of her generation with the multi-platinum success of her solo albums in the mid-2000s. No doubt it was Nina's flamboyant singing, coupled with impeccable technique, and the right material, that propelled all those albums to dizzying heights.

But it's a more mature Nina that we hear on “All Good,” and there's not a wasted space in this album as Nina gets it going from start to finish. The singer begins her new journey with a brand new original: the mellow pop ballad “All Good,” that is sure to be a new favorite among Nina fans and will surely turn new ears onto the singer as well.

This is certainly good news for her multitude of fans as Nina returns to form and rekindle her love for evocative ballads in her brand new album entitled “All Good,” under Viva Records.

ALL GOOD: NINA

1. MAYBE IT’S TOO SOON 

2. SA ISANG TINGIN

3. PERFECT

4. KUNG WALANG IKAW, WALANG AKO

5. MAHAL NA MAHAL KITA

6. ALL GOOD

7. MAKE IT UP TO YOU

8. SAD

9. PAANO

10. WHEN THE LOVE IS GONE

11. HURTING INSIDE

12. PINILIT KONG LIMUTIN KA

BONUS TRACK:

DON’T SAY GOODBYE 

(theme song from the movie

“A SECRET AFFAIR”)

Nina unveils a couple of brand new Tagalog songs in her new set, starting with the heart-tugging ballad “Paano,” and then there's the equally emotional love song “Sa Isang Tingin.” Adding to these are “Pinilit Kong Limutin Ka,” and “Kung Walang Ikaw, Walang Ako,”-- all brand new songs—that are sure to make OPM lovers swoon and sway.

Complementing these tunes are the reflective “Maybe It's Too Soon,” and “When The Love Is Gone,” the latter of which sees the relatively-relaxed Diva belting it out a little, but with an oh-so-powerful result! Nina also employs some choice covers as well with the inclusion of her soulful take on “Hurting Inside,” a re-imagining of the ‘90s pop gem “Perfect,” the OPM favorite “Mahal Na Mahal Kita,” and finally, the yearning classic “Don't Say Goodbye,” that many now relate to as the theme to the hit movie "A Secret Affair." 

“All Good” is a suite of beautiful songs and is definitely Nina's strongest album in years! A must-hear! --as it is an understated but powerful new album from one of the great female singers of our generation!
