Singer-songwriter Jace Roque tackles the struggles of rising above hardship and finding one’s heaven in his debut album “Paradiso” set to be released this May 24 (Friday).
“Paradiso” is heavily inspired by Dante Alighieri’s “Divine Comedy” which touches various topics such as love, relationships, and mental health. Jace composed and produced all of the tracks in the album which features 13 рор EDM (electronic dance music) tracks including his previous singles "Sober," "Day and Night," and "Casual".
According to the Star Music artist, “I started building this album in 2017 and it tackles my fall from paradise and my journey back to paradise. It is divided into four chapters – heart, mind, body, and soul. The tracklist will take you through those chapters.”
The album is very personal to Jace and he considers it as a peek into his experiences. “This is my life's journey. My highs and lows. The beautiful and the ugly. Everything I've kept hidden and bottled up inside,” he said.
As a P-pop soloist, Jace emphasized the importance of authenticity in music and hopes that it would open doors for other soloists to shine in the industry.
“Truthful, honest, and authentic so sinubukan ko mag-live by through those words. When I make my music, I don’t want to be pretentious. With the P-pop scene, naging sikat ang groups ngayon kaya gusto ko rin sana mabigyan ng spotlight yung soloists na tulad ko who are pushing the pop-EDM sound,” he shared.
Prior to his debut album, Jace has released "Inferno" which included "Di Para Sayo," "Be Someone," "Trust, and "Back to Beginning" which was nominated in Awit Awards 2023 for Best Dance/Electronic Recording.
