Music Update: Plans for the New Album "Forca" in Full Force

KNL Heights, Manila

The still-alive-and-kicking Electrique Recording Company has just unveiled its plans for this summer's greatest hits album, "Forca", which (if sufficient funds will allow) will be released this May as a farewell treat for Aldasiel Alchemy & Potions School's summer students as well as for its graduates.

Planned after "Lovely", the album will include fan favorites from the three albums released for AY 2006-2007: "Break", "On the Horizon", and "Light". But Mr. de la Isla, the ever-mahilig-sa-pauso President of Electrique says that this time, others will have the final say in the final lineup of the songs.

"It is only fair," he announced in the post party after the "Light" concert, "that those who have copies should have their opinions heard. I've already sent them Friendster messages asking for their votes and I'm very eager to hear from them."

In another press conference held kanina lang in KNL Heights, representatives from MTV asked Mr. de la Isla for hints about what "Forca" will be like, and how it will compare with last year's very successful "Lovely."

"I'm planning to make it even better than "Light" or "Lovely" ", he says amidst maniacal cheering from the media. "I've tried in vain to choose the songs myself, but the songs from the three albums are just too good. That's one of the reasons why I have to ask other listeners to help me."

Poll results will be publicly shown in a special space at the end of this entry, and fans are encouraged to take a look at how the vote is going every 5 minutes or so.

Critics from all over the universe have said that this summer's album trio was better than last year's. Will that have a significant effect on the content of "Forca"?

"Obviously," the president replied, "Better songs will make a better album. This album will be as alive as "Lovely" was sad, but the difficult thing is how to arrange the songs effectively. "Break" is somewhat the opposite of "Light", so there might be alternating songs between these two in the album. Indeed, it will be quite challenging to unite chosen songs from the three musically-varied albums."

A crazy Britney Spears fan asked Mr. de la Isla if her idol will make a contribution for the new album.

"I have her on the list," Mr. de la Isla replied. "But we still aren't sure if she will make it through the coming weeks of song selection. But I'm quite certain there will be songs from newly-enlisted artists Akon and Maria Mena." Wild howlings from respective fans followed this apocalyptic announcement.

More avid Electrique fans clogged the prestigious and pristine streets of KNL Heights in order to harangue Mr. de la Isla with questions about the album and his love life. Hunky, sexy, and very good-looking soldiers from Aldasiel's Army tried to cut a way for him out of the Grand Dizontech Hotel where the press conference was held, but he simply disapparated with the words, "Com uma Forca!"

At this seemingly magical incantation, media people suddenly stomped, gnashed their teeth, and tore each other's hair since they forgot to ask about the origin of the title. The remaining soldiers from Aldasiel's Army, however, resumed their flirting with each other.Why the album is to be called "Forca" will remain a mystery until its scheduled release next month.

After his disapparition, cute and well-curved psychologists (also from Aldasiel's Army) quickly arrived at the scene to inquire about Mr. de la Isla's current mental state. When asked for their medical results, the doctors simply shrugged and said that everyone has to wait until Mr. de la Isla's 23rd birthday, when his chances of developing schizophrenia will finally be nulled.
