Filipino music royalty Paolo Valenciano takes the spotlight with the release of his first solo album titled "Silence/Noise."

Released under Star Records, Paolo’s album features a collection of alternative rock tracks, which, according to him, tell the story of his life.

“My album is like a middle ground, where two elements meet–rock merging with anthemic pop,” said the 30-year-old musician-turned-concert-director and frontman of rock band Salamin.

“As a recording artist, I give myself a normal rating in terms of musical skill and artistry. But what I lack in talent I make up for with vision. When I work on the first few lyrics of a song, I already picture the last scene of the music video. My ideas are what keep me going,” said Paolo.

Among the tracks included in Paolo’s “Silence/Noise” album are “Tag Ulan,” “Pangako,” “Hanggang Kailan Kita Mahihintay,” “Parusa,” “Kislap,” and the carrier single “Muling Magbabalik.” It also contains the acoustic versions of “Muling Magbabalik” and “Parusa” as bonus tracks.

“Silence/Noise” is now available in record bars nationwide for only P250. The tracks can also be downloaded via iTunes, Amazon.com, Mymusicstore.com.ph, and Starmusic.ph.
