The star of &quot;Born for You,&quot; which will air its series finale on Friday, said it was always his dream to record his own album. “Having a solo album has been a dream of mine ever since I started performing five years ago. But I wanted to wait for the right time, to have enough experience, so I could come up with an album that is really worth buying and listening to over and over again,” Magalona said.According to Magalona, his album will reflect a lot of his musical influences, including international artist Justin Beiber and local artists Jay R and Billy Crawford. “I really like their style and the overall vibe of their songs which are upbeat and will make you groove, &quot; he explained. In his upcoming album, Magalona also got to co-write some of the songs, specifically those with rap lines.“Songwriting for me is a never ending process. I don’t really spend time sitting down to compose the lyrics, it’s a rather constant process, like, if I suddenly think of a couple good lines, I make sure to write it down or save it on my phone for later use,&quot; he shared.Magalona is dedicating his album to all those who have been supporting him, especially his loyal fans. As a teaser of his album, Universal Records released the digital single “Kay Dali,” which landed on the charts and ranked as the second-most downloaded song on iTunes this month.“&#x27;Kay Dali&#x27; is upbeat, easy to listen to and very relatable because it’s all about love -- love at first sight to be more specific -- which is really a unique and unforgettable feeling,” Magalona said.
