“Of course, I am honored to be compared with Tita Nora because she is a legend in the music and movie industry. But I’m not trying to use her to get famous. I want to have my own identity because of my talent,” said Marion in her special visit in ABS-CBN’s hit FM radio station “MOR 101.9 For Life!”
According to Marion, who recently guested in “MOR 101.9 For Life!” shows, namely “Happy Happy Hapon” of DJ China Paps and “My Only Request” of DJ Danny Jay, if there is something similar between her and Nora, it is their love for music.
“Style-wise, we really sing differently. Tita Nora sings traditional OPM, while I have diverse musical influences,” explained Marion, who recently launched her self-titled debut album under Star Records. “I believe that listeners always look for new music. And that is what my album offers. All of my songs, whether my original compositions or revivals, were arranged according to my singing style.”
“I also want Filipino songs to cross over other cultures. These days, it’s so easy to distribute music worldwide. However, even if local songs are released out of the country, they are still being listened to only by Filipinos,” said Marion who takes pride in her carrier single, which is a revival of the international hit song “Just Give Me A Reason.”
Meanwhile, Marion will treat the FM radio listeners and online audience of “MOR 101.9 For Life! with a live concert on-air this Saturday (August 10). She will sing some of the tracks included in her album on DJ Popoy and DJ Bob Zilla’s radio show “MOR on Air” that airs weekly from 6pm to 7pm.
