Anytime soon, Yeng is releasing a live album, a recording of “Yeng Versions Live,” which she did recently at the Teatrino in Greenhills. On the set, Yeng tackles her favorite icons like the Eraserheads, Apo, Florante, Yano, etc.
The live album can be considered a landmark in Yeng’s relatively young career. In many cases, such a blessing comes much later in their career, if at all.
Many breeze through their singing careers without having done a live recording. Yeng’s label, Star Records, has just shown its great faith in its artist that it has rewarded her with such a prestige album.
Yeng’s track record, marked by hit songs, a rating midnight show, can be a source of envy among peers in the industry. Possibly the leading female rock and OPM artist in her generation, Yeng isn’t without the proper credentials.
She writes her own material, an advantage that sets her apart from ordinary singers. Her songs are nothing to sneeze at either. They have melody, the lyricism of poetry, rhyme and reason.
“Rak en Rol,” the concert and not the movie (Quark Henares has a new film of the same title, although the two projects are not related at all), also features Sam Milby, Raimund Marasigan, “MU Live” co-host Tutti Caringal, and Gloc 9. Yeng credits Marasigan, formerly of the Eraserheads, as definitely a positive influence in her growth as a songwriter and artist.
