Kyla is in talks with GMA-7 for the network's plans for her in 2009. After having showcased her hosting skills in the channel's sister company, QTV, Kyla is eager to bring her singing prowess into focus beyond the Sunday noontime show S.O.P.

What do we want Kyla to do next? Share your thoughts Kylanatics!

By the way, Kyla was given her celebrity walk of fame in Bulacan last September of this year (2008). http://www.gmanews.tv/video/28542/-Saksi--Arnold-Clavio-Kyla-Kuya-Germs-in-Bulacan-Walk-of-Fame

Kyla To Conquer The Asian Market In 2009



It's going to be a 6-country music invasion by Kyla for 2009. She's poised to set China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Hongkong and Thailand aflame with her R&B flavor consisting of an album to be released by EMI that's a compilation of all her best singles and tracks from her six (6) previous albums including her current one Heart2Heart.

If I were to pick the set of upcoming tracks for that Asian market CD, this is going to be the list:

- Not Your Ordinary Girl (good bouncy album intro)
- Because of You (showed promise in Indonesia so why not make it the 2nd track here)
- Flexin' (having done this single with Blue will be a good international flavor boost)
- Beautiful Days (this showcases Kyla as an excellent performer-songwriter)
- I Will Find You (a clever diversion from the first three R&B-ballad slant)
- Love Will Lead You Back (one of Kyla's best revivals deserve to be here)
- Always On Time (this church-y R&B take has good vocal and musical arrangements for a filler)
- It's Over Now (the typical soft ballad filler)
- Human Nature (a mid-tempo revival is also a must)
- I Feel For You (this soaring ballad showcases Kyla's vocal dexterity)
- How Am I Gonna Tell You (a fast-paced track penned by Kyla is necessary for inclusion)
- If The Feeling Is Gone (not necessarily a filler, but this ballad is just a tear-jerker that Asians can relate to it)
- With You (this Radha-penned R&B ditty is infectious)
- I Will Be There (a successful single in the Phils., but this can be a filler here)
- Love To Hate (another must-have diversion in the set)
- BONUS TRACK: Goodbye's Not Forever (a must-revival for Kyla)

Heart2Heart Track List

Heart 2 Heart is Kyla's 7th CD to date with sixteen (16) new tracks -- mostly revivals.

- Heart To Heart
- I Miss You
- Old Friend
- Love On A Two Way Street
- I'll Never Give Up
- Stay Awake
- I'll Be Over You
- You Make Me Feel
- Drive
- I Can't Tell You Why
- Tahan Na
- Misty Glass Window
- Bus Stop
- Back In Time
- Ribbon In The Sky
BONUS TRACK: My Grown Up Christmas List

When Kyla Sang Hero On That's Entertainment

There Kyla was on the boob tube as a teener on the now defunct That's Entertainment show. Most mainstays there would sing in lipsynch but not her. Host German Moreno proudly introduced Kyla as a new member who would dare sing her version of Mariah Carey's "Hero" live. And she did splendidly. She stood out from her batch of mediocre performers. I already saw her perform weekly in another defunct show, Tanghalan Ng Kampeon, as a weekly junior champion, but I was surprised to have seen her break through the amateur singing contest mold that time. Years later, I would see her again but not before I would hear her singing a melancholic song on the radio...
