The "Indie Girl Voice" (or alternatively "Indie Pop Voice") is a singing technique or style that became popular in the 2010s among female pop singers. While the style probably exists in every country heavily influenced by American/British pop, it takes up a rather different form in the Philippine music scene. In this video, I talk about this style but in the context of OPM and I share my personal opinions.
Note re: Head voice 4:46 . I tried to decipher if the "indie girl voice" is in a falsetto or head voice. A falsetto produces an airy and lighter sound. However, I also know that one only uses the falsetto when a singer has to sing notes beyond his/her normal range which produces the airy and lighter sound. So I doubt that the "indie girl singer" is singing in falsetto solely based on how they use it. Which then makes me think that the airiness and lightness they use is purely for aesthetic purposes and not necessity.
Noong July 2019 gumawa ako ng Top 10 list. Dahil sa isang blockbuster, nabago nanaman ang listahan. At meron din akong ibang mali sa naunang Top 10. Kaya ito na yung latest edition!

*The Hows Of Us – Ipapaliwanag ko sa video yung isyu sa takilya nito.
**Beauty and the Bestie’s P526M number – Sources seem conflicted on whether this is the domestic number or overall total sales. But since this is the only reported number, we’ll stick with this.
^Starting Over Again’s true box office number is confusing since a lot of sites report it to be P410M but they seldom mention the $2M overseas sales. If we add $2M (P45-$1), then we arrive to an estimated P500M which then makes it 7th place. If we stick with the P410M, it goes back to 9th place.
^^It Takes a Man and a Woman’s number - If the Google data is correct: P405M (local) + $1.8M (international), then the estimated total would be P470M.

Being a fan of Stevie Wonder, I've always wanted to learn to play any of his songs. I thought of giving "Isn't She Lovely" a shot since the chords were easy to learn. The original track by Stevie Wonder is more than 6 mins long and has more chord variations when it comes to the harmonica solo part. For this cover, I just wanted to put my own twist to the main gist of the song using only the piano hence the short duration.
I recorded this live so if a take didn't satisfy me, I'd start from the top. I lost count after more than 10 takes. So this could be any take from 11-15.
Learned the chords with this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWoy7nmSEjM&feature=youtu.be
