Jay-R acknowledged that more projects and shows came after he has successfully and effectively showcased his versatility on the said reality talent show. “I never knew I had a talent to impersonate artist icons. I guess you can say the show brought it out of me,” Jay-R beamed.
This October, Jay-R releases another single, his fifth, still off from his all-original album Elevated entitled “You’re The One” – a collaboration with Kris Lawrence and YouTube sensation, AJ Rafael, which has premiered already last October 1 at MYX.
“The new video was shot in our own very beautiful Boracay. We wanted to show off the amazing views of our country. We have some of the most beautiful beaches in the world and we want everyone to know. We wanted to make sure the shots were still appealing. We wanted to say away from popular landmarks in Boracay and show some other parts that have yet to be discovered,” Jay-R shared about the new music video.
AJ Rafael added , “I was really happy to write this song with Jay-R and Kris at our first jam session with us, three, ever. I would like to thank Jay-R for putting the song on this album. The video was so fun to shoot and it makes me want to go back to Boracay.”
Released and produced by his own independent music label, HomeWorkz Music, Elevated features 14-outstanding tracks, which include other collaborations with Kyla, Marie Digby, Q-York, and etc. The self-produced new album has just reached Gold status last June.
