Martin Sings Koreanovela Theme

After the successful run of Stairway to Heaven on primetime television, the Koreanovela is expected to dominate the local music chart with the release of its original soundtrack (OST) under Galaxy Records in cooperation with CAPS.

The OST is worth the buy for two reasons. First, it comes in double disc containing the beautiful melodies of the telenovela. Second, it features a bonus track, Hanggang Langit, recorded by Martin Nievera. The ditty is the Filipino adaptation of the Koreanovela theme song composed by Vehnee Saturno.

Hanggang Langit reunites Martin with Vehnee. In the ’80’s, Martin’s ticket to music stardom was via Vehnee’s work, Be My Lady that became a monster hit after it won the grand prize in the Metro Pop Music Festival.

Hanggang Langit was launched on simultaneous broadcast last May 9, in the folowing radio stations nationwide: YES FM in Metro Manila 101.1 and Davao, Love Radio in Metro Manila 90.7, Bacolod 91.9, Iloilo 97.5, Cebu 97.9, Baguio, Dagupan, Naga and Legaspi, Star FM in Metro Manila 97.9, Baguio 89.5, Dagupan 100.7, Naga 90.3, Bacolod 95.5, Legaspi 103.5, I-FM in Metro Manila 93.9, Cebu 93.9, Davao, Home Radio in Metro Manila 93.9, Cebu 106.7, Energy FM in Metro Manila 91.5, Cebu 94.7 and Davao, Hot FM Cebu 91.5, Wild FM in Cebu 103.5, Campus Radio in Bacolod 107.1, Z 100 FM in Iloilo 100.7, Radio One in Iloilo 88.7 and Wow FM in Davao City. This is the first time in the recording business that a song was launched in a simultaneous nationwide broadcast.
