The upbeat, festive song “Pasko Na, Pasko Na,” the single for this special release, talks about how joyous the celebration is for Filipino families. Meanwhile, “Maligayang Pasko, Mahal” is a romantic ditty that talks of the promise of Filipinos residing abroad of better lives for their loved ones. The two other tracks “Pasko Ng Pagbibigayan” provides inspiration for season of giving and sharing and “Ang Regalo Ko” is a lover’s dream to be loved by his/her beloved.
“Panaginip” is Noel Cabangon’s latest album featuring the title track. It also includes noteworthy original songs like collaborations with former Sugarfree frontman Ebe Dancel (“Hulog Ka ng Langit”) and Asia’s Diamond Soul Siren Nina (“Ikaw Na Sana”). Other impressive new songs include the aforementioned title track “Panaginip”, as well as “Dahan Dahan”, “Bayani ng Bayan”, “Ngayon ang Bagong Simula”, the hip-hop flavored “Walang Katulad” and the haunting “Awit ng Naghahanap”, a heart-wrenching tune inspired by victims of political killings. Three longtime original songs from Noel Cabangon are also included in the album (“Sana Dumating Ka na”, “Dahil Nariyan Ka” and the ’80s inspired “Umuulan sa Tag-araw, Umaaraw sa Tag-Ulan”).
Of course, the covers are still there: “Bulag, Pipi, Bingi” (Grand prize song of the 2nd Metropop Music Festival, originally performed by Freddie Aguilar), the Heber Bartolome classic “Tayo’y Mga Pinoy”, “Tag-Ulan” by Lolita & The Boys and the Pete Lacaba/Ding Achacoso-written “Sangandaan”, which gained attention from the Mike De Leon classic film “Sister Stella L“.
