She is known as one of the
Philippines’ top teen stars whose popularity started with lead roles in highly
rated GMA Network soap operas like “First Time”, “Pilyang Kerubin”, “Nita
Negirta”, “Paroa: Ang Kuwento ni Mariposa” and the newly launched “Anna
Karenina”. She has also appeared in top grossing movies such as “Ang Darling
Kong Aswang”, “Si Agimat at si Enteng Kabisote”, “Tween Academy: Class of
2012”, “The Road”, “Ang Panday 2” and
“Sossy Problems”. She is also one of today’s most in-demand young endorsers.
Now what used to be tween queen
turned teen queen Barbie Forteza adds another facet to her young entertainment
career—singing. She finally released her debut album under MCA Music (Universal
Music Philippines). Simply self-titled,
the album fits Barbie’s personality perfectly- bubbly, fun and wholesome.
It includes the carrier single
“Meron Ba” about having a crush on someone but could not tell anyone including
the person she admires. Its music video is now out on MYX directed by J Pacena and
also stars fellow GMA artist Jeric Gonzales as Barbie’s love interest. The
album, produced by Francis Guevarra, also features her version of Jolina
Magdangal’s “Laging Tapat”- another song about young love, the bouncy track
“Upside Down” (originally from the A-Teens) and an original song “Wala Lang”-
written by Jude Gitamondoc. “Wala Lang” also comes with a dance version for
those who want to groove to Barbie’s music. All tracks have minus one versions
for those who want to sing-along to Barbie’s songs.
