And judging by the themes of the songs from “MU” (at first listen, at least) Arthur is still in the process of figuring this little thing called pag-ibig. Arthur Miguel recently released his first EP titled “MU” under Warner Music Philippines with a launch last Friday in Quezon City wherein he unveiled the 5 songs that comprises his new record. And judging by the themes of the songs from “MU” (at first listen, at least) Arthur is still in the process of figuring this little thing called pag-ibig.
Arthur’s mentioned before that his songs are “for those who can’t admit to what they really feel about towards another person,” and “about having all these emotions but just can’t find the resolve to admit their feelings,” adding that “I write songs about ’walang label na relationship’ that seems so prevalent these days,” observed the singer. So, the songs on Arthur’s EP, takes the issue to its logical next step: actively seeking love and finding ‘the one.’ The first song establishes the premise, wherein Arthur seems to announce, I'm here and ready, let’s do this,’ via the rising stanzas and anthemic choruses of “isaoras.
” Here, Arthur intones “Nalibot na ang bawat daan, baka ikaw ang para sa akin / umiikot sa kawalan, naliligaw na damdamin / tumatakbo ang oras, lahat ay lumilipas.” Ah, we've all been there right? Hopeful about the prospect finding love and at the same time, almost questioning why it’s taking all this time to find.
