In Legends, Richard traces his pop roots by singing some of the biggest pop artists in the international music industry – classics by Lionel Richie (Truly), Whitney Houston (All At Once), Barbra Streisand (Evergreen), Madonna (Borderline), Barry Manilow (Ready To Take A Chance Again), among others.
“This is an interesting point in my career,” says Richard. “Aside from being with a new label (Universal), I am also going back to pop after years of doing big band.”
Richard adds that he welcomes the challenge with open arms, and he hopes that people will continue supporting him and his music.
Richard joins the elite roster of Universal Records artists – Gary Valenciano, Ogie Alcasid, Regine Velasquez, Noel Cabangon, Christian Bautista, Gloc-9, JayR, Sam Concepcion, Parokya Ni Edgar, Sponge Cola, Callalily, Kamikazee, among others.
In the album, Richard collaborates with friend Christian Bautista in the Michael Jackson hit The Girl Is Mine.
Legends will have its album launch this April 28, Sunday, on ASAP 18.
