Why I’m Fascinated by Old Songs Reimagined by New Artists


There's something magical about hearing an old classic reinterpreted by a modern artist. It’s like discovering a familiar treasure, but with a fresh twist that makes it feel new again. I’ve always been fascinated by how these timeless songs, originally crafted in different eras, can be brought to life through a contemporary lens. The mix of nostalgia and innovation is what keeps me hooked every time.

In this post, I’ve put together a collection of my favorite albums—from the 90s to the post-90s era—where artists have taken on classic tracks and redefined them in their own unique way. Whether it’s through a new arrangement, a different genre, or simply a fresh perspective, these albums have made me fall in love with the old songs all over again.

I hope you’ll enjoy the journey through these musical gems as much as I did. So, let’s dive in and celebrate how the past and present collide in the world of music!

Pinoy Metal: The Rise of Filipino Heavy Metal in the 1990s

Image
The 1990s marked a pivotal era for Pinoy metal — an explosive, raw, and unapologetic wave of heavy music that defined a generation of Filipino music lovers. It was a time when the underground metal scene came into its own, and bands from the Philippines began to carve out their space in a genre that was once dominated by Western acts. From thrash to death metal, grindcore to black metal, the 90s were a crucial time in shaping the Filipino metal scene, bringing local talent to the global stage. Before the 90s, the Philippines already had a history of rock and hard rock with the OPM (Original Pilipino Music) movement in the 70s and 80s, but it wasn’t until the early 90s that metal began to take on a life of its own. The country’s metal scene grew out of the underground, where bands with raw talent but little mainstream recognition started making waves in local clubs and alternative music venues. Play list: 01.
