Rico Blanco's New Single 'Amats' will Rock Your World starting June 4!

Four years after he took you to “Your Universe” via his solo debut, former Rivermaya frontman Rico Blanco now brings you to another dimension and back with “GalactikFiestamatik,” his highly-anticipated second album. “The title IS the genre,” shares Blanco, and a journey through the songs will give the listener a better idea of what he means.

Between the barrage of Ati-atihan tribal drums and percussions, the beeps and screeches of analog synthesizers, the unlikely instruments in Blanco’s repertoire (a melodica, a lyre, a violin, a gigantic cowbell), and countless ‘found’ instruments (“There’s pots and pans, a section from my neighbor’s abandoned rooftop gutter, metal tubes and other instruments I got from the hardware store…”), this mad scientist takes one on a festive adventure that seems ethnic, folk, punk, and futuristic, all at once, with Blanco’s signature songwriting as the centrepiece.

Performed and recorded by Blanco entirely by himself in his studio attic, the album celebrates a sound that is raw, imperfect, and deeply personal. “I wanted this album to sound more abrasive, more flawed than correct, production-wise,” a first for this notorious perfectionist. “I wanted you to feel things, get annoyed by things, be distracted by one sound, fall in love with another…”

The carrier single, “Amats,” an eerily compelling song of infatuation that’s borderline stalker-ish, assaults you from the get-go. Blanco reveals, “’Amats’ was originally written for a band, major chords, pop rock—the kind of song you’d expect from me, melodic, sweet…then I wondered, what if I make it dark, talagang amats?” It becomes more dangerous…[to make] you feel on the edge, uncomfortable. I wanted it to be in your face, like a stalker you want to get rid of.”

Bold, bizarre, and yet strangely familiar, get a sneak peak of Rico Blanco’s brand new album via his first single “Amats” which will go on air on Monday, June 4th.  Log on to his page for more updates on Rico Blanco.

Hope It's Soon by Bret Jackson and James Reid Lyrics

Bret:
On a bus, on a plane on the road switching lanes
She call me up to see if I'm make it home someday
I tell her I really don’t know I really don’t know

And that’s gonna hurt her again
Something I never wanna do to her again
Maybe were better off just being friends

But she always tell me it will be us in the end
But how does she know she just knows
Something she explained to me before (me before)

Shit got crazy before things were hazy before
When I was nobody and no one wanted to play me
Or the songs or the music that I made

I was just a kid who didn’t have a name
I guess things really really really do change
Something I don’t like to admit
But I’d rather tell the truth then talk a bunch of shit

And that’s why it's never over
That’s why ill never quit
And with her on my mind with her given time

I promise I’ll work hard to the bone till I die
I promise I promise I promise to be true
I'm coming home to you I just hope its soon

James:
I promise I promise I promise to be true
im coming home to you I just hope its soon

Chorus:
Baby you don't owe em just take your time and show em
yeah we could fall in love or try
lose your body make me feel alright alright
lose your body make me feel alright alright
Baby you don't owe em just take your time and show em
yeah we could fall in love or try
lose your body make me feel alright alright
lose your body make me feel alright alright alright
lose your body make me feel alright alright

James:
I cant wait to see my baby it's been so long
I cant go on when I think of you I go crazy
I need your touch miss you so much
whatever obstacles have come in between me and you
if you trust me again I promise will make it through
I just hope its soon I just hope its soon

Chorus:
Baby you don't owe em just take your time and show em
yeah we could fall in love or try
lose your body make me feel alright alright
lose your body make me feel alright alright
Baby you don't owe em just take your time and show em
yeah we could fall in love or try
lose your body make me feel alright alright
lose your body make me feel alright alright alright
lose your body make me feel alright alright
