For decades, Universal Records Philippines is unquestionably a firm believer in burgeoning local talents. And this late 2022, the major record label is now set to introduce another very promising act that’s certified Tatak Pinoy. Meet Ode To Mars!
Ode To Mars is a brainchild of budding musicians Odilon Reyes and Martin Patrick Tan. The duo sees themselves making music that will resonate with people’s souls, as their sonic exploration roots around in various local pop-rock and alternative artists and hitmakers, especially from the 90s and early to mid-2000s – like Parokya Ni Edgar.
Speaking of which, Martin is the son of Parokya Ni Edgar’s former long-time manager Richard Tan, the brains behind several well-known OPM bands in the country. Aside from PNE, the legend has handled Kamikazee, Moonstar 88, Chicosci, among many others.
Combining the power of their sheer talent and commitment towards an ideal and inclusive brand of music and persona, Ode To Mars is ready to present their debut original single “O’ Sinta”.
This track can be aptly described as a sweet modern-day serenade and has very relatable lyrics at the same time. Likewise, its melody is not complex, making it an undeniably and generally appealing OPM love song. Ito Rapadas spearheaded the production of this track.
“O’ Sinta” is part of the latest Fresh Finds Philippines playlist on Spotify and is out now on your favorite digital streaming platforms. Stay tuned for more from Ode To Mars coming soon!
