<p>Maki detailed his journey in creating his first studio album <em>Kolorcoaster.</em></p><p>In an interview with MJ Felipe on<em> Are You G?</em> of TFC, the singer-songwriter shared that the idea of having colors as the concept of the album sprung when he released his track &quot;Dilaw.&quot;</p><p>&quot;Actually &#x27;yung concept ng colors talaga nagsimula siya sa &#x27;Dilaw.&#x27; Ako po kasi talaga  whenever I write songs, I first think about the concept... I know where to go even sa visual dapat lahat sila cohesive,&quot; he explained.</p><p>Maki relayed that that he wanted to showcase his love for the arts through the album. &quot;I dug deeper sa kung ano ang gusto kong mangyari na mga next track tapos sabi ko sa sarili ko why not colors kasi mahilig naman ako sa arts? And I&#x27;m a huge advocate po sa mga Filipino artists as well na don&#x27;t have enough opportunities. Gusto ko po mabigyan sila ng spotlight as well sa album na &#x27;to. Actually, ang dami pong artists kaming hinire for all the visual arts po na nalalagay ngayon,&quot; he shared.</p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DMxJ33LT6H5/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=630&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A397223.40000000596%2C%22ls%22%3A396755.8000000119%2C%22le%22%3A397202.3000000119%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1041" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>The album will feature ten tracks, including four previously released singles: &quot;Dilaw,&quot; &quot;Namumula,&quot; &quot;Bughaw,&quot; and &quot;Kahel na Langit.&quot;</p><p>In the interview, Maki talked about the two upcoming tracks from the album, which are &quot;Turning Green&quot; and &quot;Indigo (With U).&quot;</p><p>According to Maki, &quot;Turning Green&quot; is a track that he wrote from someone&#x27;s point of view. &quot;[For Turning Green], medyo kakaiba kasi hindi ko siya sinulat from my POV. Sinulat ko siya from a POV of another person. Meron tayong thinking minsan na madali naman silang mapatawad as long as they say sorry. Nilagay ko siya sa kanta &#x27;yung mga gusto kong marinig from that person nilagay ko siya dito,&quot; he shared.</p><p>He went on: &quot;Para siyang kabaliktaran ng &#x27;Namumula&#x27; kasi &#x27;yung color theory, ang kabaliktaran ng red is green. Parang nilagay ko pa rin &#x27;yung red flag element dito because the ex is the red flag but also dito sa &#x27;Turning Green&#x27; is &#x27;yung parang pagsisi sa tao na &#x27;yun na hindi niya nakita na the grass isn&#x27;t greener on the other side. Ayun po &#x27;yung pinaka-concept ng &#x27;Turning Green.&#x27;&quot;</p><p>Meanwhile, &quot;Indigo (With U)&quot; is a song he wrote for a specific person, expressing his willingness to face life&#x27;s uncertainties with that person.</p><p>&quot;Indigo kasi para sa akin is the color of uncertainty. Parang you are going in a tunnel na you don&#x27;t know where to go, kung anong nasa loob. But as long as you are with this person taking that risk, go! I&#x27;m Indigo with you. Parang let&#x27;s go in the Indigo as long as I&#x27;m with you,&quot; he said. &quot;I wrote this song for a specific person na kahit basta anong mangyari if you say go, sunod ako,&quot; he shared. </p><div><strong> </strong></div>
