Jamie Rivera heads ABS-CBN’s new music label, drops another inspirational single
MANILA, Philippines — After recording and releasing Heal Our Land, Jubilee Song, Only Selfless Love, Tell the World of His Love, We Are All God’s Children and We Give Our Yes, Jamie Rivera has penned and dropped another inspirational track titled 3 in 1 under ABS-CBN’s new music label, Inspire Music. She also serves as the head and creative consultant of the recently-introduced record label.
Jamie’s latest single features Imogen and The Voice Kids Philippines Season 5 contestant Fabio Santos. Released in time for Lenten reflections, the upbeat song with a tinge of reggae is about the joy of believing in God, three persons in one, referring to the Holy Trinity or God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
It was during the pandemic that she got to do more spiritual contemplation and was inspired to write the song. “I realized that during the pandemic, the only one that could really help us survive is God,” she said in a virtual call.
“And maraming nalilito na bakit, ‘O, magdasal ka sa Father, o magdasal ka sa Son, o magdasal ka sa Holy Spirit.’ They were really confused, especially the children.”
So, she thought of the song. “I said it’s about time. It would be nice and it’s about time to write and to inform the people or to remind them that there are three persons in one God,” she continued.
The Inspirational Diva dedicated the ditty specially to the children, saying, “Marami pa ring hindi nakaalam, that’s why I want the children to know this.”
Jamie made the track “very, very light” and “very understandable,” using simple words for the younger listeners, just like what she did in the songs that she previously performed, Jubilee Song, Only Selfless Love and Heal Our Land.
“There’s a music video, hand movements, ganyan na nakaka-relate ang mga bata. So I said, uulitin ko yan. Sila yung mga gustong kong matuto because we, the older ones, somehow, we knew it already. We just have to be reminded,” she further shared.
“Most of the kids, nakulong sila, nasa computer lang sila. Unlike before na face-to-face, there’s so many opportunities to share this to the kids… I said we should teach the children about the Holy Trinity.”
She expounded that “God the Father is our Creator,” “God the Son is our Savior who died to save us,” and the “Holy Spirit is someone you will call when you are confused or when you are about to do something that is not quite right.”
“You need guidance or meron kang hindi naiintidihan, you call on the Holy Spirit and you will be enlightened,” she added.
“But the wonder of it, all are in one. So hindi mo kailangan tawagin ng isa-isa lahat yan na God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. The moment you say Lord, the moment you say God, please help me, sila na yun. To the rescue na silang tatlo.”
Meanwhile, ABS-CBN Music creative director Jonathan Manalo remarked that the vision of Inspire Music, as the title suggests, is to “inspire people.”
Jonathan shared that they want to uplift the listeners through the songs that will come out from the label. “We want to inspire them kahit ano man yung pinagdadaanan nila sa buhay (and) whatever is the context of their personal stories. There’s part of the lyrics na mag-mi-minister na kung ano man yung life journey nila at the moment,” he stated.
“If that will be the impact on the audience, we feel that we are successful because that is our goal, maging companion siya ng listeners in their own personal listening time. They are able to breathe and they will feel better by just listening to the songs under the Inspire (Music) label,” he added.
(3 in 1 single is now out on music-streaming platforms. Stay tuned for the other releases of Inspire Music.)
