“And in around six months from now, I can’t wait to release sa inyong lahat ang isa pang album ko. Part 2: Solemn,” announced Belle Mariano during her Beloved concert held last July 22, 2023 at the New Frontier Theater. After her success as an actress, the New Gen Phenomenal Star has shared that she is now entering into her singer-songwriter era. A storyteller by heart, Belle wanted her second album to follow the journey she began with her debut album, Daylight. She released Daylight during the pandemic, even holding her first solo digital concert with fellow artists SAB, Trisha Denise, Jayda Avanzado, Kyle Echarri, Donny Pangilinan, and Ben&amp;Ben in January 2022. “We chose the title Daylight simply because I want to send a message of hope, especially in this time of trying,” explained Belle then. Her second album is entitled ‘Somber’, and is actually the first of two parts. “We all go through struggles in life despite of those struggles, I want my songs in this album to remind them that everything’s going to be okay despite what that maybe, despite of the sombers you’re going through, the hurdles, the struggles. Never fail to see that there’s light at the end of the tunnel,” Belle explained in a previous interview. “And we’re trying to connect it to my first album Daylight. So Daylight album all about happy light songs. Gusto ko maging story—how will you be able to reach that type of lightness or solemnness,” she added. “So, we made it Somber, from Daylight [to] Somber then Solemn. You won’t be able to realize the true meaning of solemn without going through the sombers of life.”<div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/7/17/belle-mariano-ibinahagi-ang-mga-dapat-abangan-sa-first-live-concert-1913">READ: Belle Mariano, ibinahagi ang mga dapat abangan sa first live concert </a></div>Somber is described as “an introspective delve into the complex stages of loss. It is a musical representation of having sand slip between your fingers with no time to gather what has scattered, but it is also a reminder that nothing is ever permanent, and that even grief is replaceable with hope and peace. Such are the waves of life that flow back and forth from somber to solemn.”The second part, Solemn, is set for release sometime in the next six months. “Ang daming ideas pumasok sa utak, so we divided the album into two. Feeling ko mas maganda, mas mapaparating message ng buong album if separated sila,” she explained of the two-part album. Belle is a co-producer of all the songs in her album, and she also had a hand in writing “Road Trip” and “Somber &amp; Solemn.” Belle shared the stage with some of the collaborators for her album during her Beloved concert. “Alam nyo ba, I co-wrote ‘Road Trip’ with Cesca,” shared Belle after singing their duet of “Pansamantala.”It was actually a song that was inspired by Ayef, Belle’s character in the DonBelle movie, An Inconvenient Love. “She wrote ‘Session Road’, ‘Pansamantala’, ‘Bougainvilla,’” added Belle. “Thank you so much, Cesca. Thank you so much for sharing your talent.”Cesca commended Belle for the care and respect she gave to the songs. “Noong binigay ko sa kanya ‘yung mga kanta, hindi lang niya basta kinuha; inalagaan talaga niya,” said Cesca. Cesca shared how she appreciated the way Belle would ask questions to understand the story behind the songs. Belle also sang “Running Out of Time” with singer-songwriter Trisha Denise. She was also with Belle in her first album.“She was one of the people who was there with me every step of the way,” shared Belle about Trisha. “Sobrang emotional ako kapag nakikita ko ‘yung growth niya sa music,” said Trisha. “Wow. You’ve grown so much.”Belle hopes to collaborate with more artists in her future songs. “Of course sina ate Moira (dela Torre), Sunkissed Lola,” Belle said, naming a few.  “I want everyone, I want to explore every genre out there.”

‘Solemn’ is just the first of Belle Mariano’s two-part sophomore album.
