I bet all of us from the Philippines know Charice Pempengco and the story of how she rose to be one of the Philippines' biggest international stars. Recently, she has a collaboration with Iyaz, a Virgin Island singer. Iyaz has a lot of hits including "Solo" (I love this song). When listening to "Pyramid", it was really amazing how a local artist like Charice can feature an international singer. The song doesn't even sound like OPM. Good job :)

Really? lol, Charice Pempengco is a Filipino who was discovered by Oprah (I think). She was on the news a couple of months ago. Now she's just touring places and singing songs with international singers. Her story is quite similar to Arnel, the Filipino lead singer of The Journey :)

I think Charice guested on Ellen before she appeared on Oprah. Iyaz also has another song entitled, "Replay."

haha yes, unless someone wrote the song for them :) I'm not really sure who the composer is.

I've heard of the song, and it's got a world-class sound. Kudos to Charice and Iyaz for a great song. I think Charice is set to guest in Oprah again, I'm just not sure...

Yes, I was kind of surprised that it was Charice who sang the song. I thought this is really from an international artist. It doesn't sound like OPM at all. I love it. I just watched the video now actually hehe!
