Hazel Faith & Caleb Santos: A Love Made ‘Brand New’
“Lord, eto na yun. Manliligaw na ako.”
“What was different was unconditional ‘yung love. And so I didn’t have to try to be perfect, I didn’t have to hide my scars… I didn’t have to feel afraid that one day somebody would walk out on me. And because he showed me, I don't have to be perfect to be loved. And that helped me love myself too.” - Hazel
“Sa kanya ko nakita ‘yung tunay na pagmamahal. And in terms of being a partner, being a collaborator, lalo sa work namin kasi more on siya sa songwriting, ako sa music production. Parang 'pag nag-blend ‘yung work namin… it overflows.”
“We bring it to the Lord, and we pray for each other.”
“Marami rin ako nasusulat na kanta na hindi talaga bagay sa akin, image-wise and also like creativity-wise… Ang ginagawa ko na lang, I look for the perfect person to sing this song. Caleb helps me with arranging and, happy kami kasi, our clients believe in the song. And that's what's most important.”
“It's just pure. And that makes me feel brand new.”
“I think Brand New is more on my genre naman and we're also blessed dahil we collaborated with an amazing musician, Silver Belen. It's a new take on what you would call a wedding music or it's a new take on love songs.”
