Letrang Norte's
Latest Single, "Paruparo," Will Have You
Feeling Butterflies
Have you ever been in love? That butterflies-in-your-stomach, head- over-heels, heart-racing kind of feeling? With Letrang Norte’s latest single, “Paruparo,” listeners will surely be brought back down memory lane of being love bugged. CCP Kanto Kanta’s winning duo, Louie Kem Babaran and Rebecca Ruth Resuello have collaborated once again to bring listeners this beautiful song that captivates that feeling or essence of being in love. Sang, written and produced entirely by Letrang Norte, this new release is the perfect track to give you those warm and fuzzy feelings in your heart.
Initially composed by Louie Kem, the song’s light-hearted melody and catchy lyrics tell the story of how playful destiny can be when you find yourself falling in love with someone who’s always been by your side. Inspired by his current relationship, Louie Kem shares, “Masaya ako makapagsulat ng kanta na tungkol naman sa tamis ng pag- ibig kesa sa pagiging sawi, masaya ako na maalay yung kantang to sa kanya kasi nagpapasalamat ako sa inspirasyon na binigay niya sa akin.” While they’re known for songs that are more often about heartache and sentimentality, their latest single shows listeners a new side of Letrang Norte.
Despite being initially written by Louie Kem, the singing-songwriting tandem gave this soulful piece an extra boost of life and love with Ruth’s stunning and unique melodies. Ruth added her own flair to the song production by adding a percussion and bass- heavy second verse that really adds to the song’s celebratory feel. The duo works flawlessly, each stepping in where the other has left off and creating a cohesive whole that perfectly captures the giddiness of being in love.
The latest track’s dreamy soundscape is also largely because of Letrang Norte’s artistic choices regarding their signature sound. Their love for unique instrumentals and a strong bridge structure can be heard throughout the song, making it stand out amongst other OPM releases. With each verse, melody and lyric, “Paruparo” showcases Louie Kem and Ruth’s respect for one another as they gracefully make space for each other’s creativity.
Looking ahead, the duo hopes to continue advocating for more artists from the north to get the chance to show off their talents and be heard throughout the music industry. Letrang Norte’s unique sound and passion for making music is a breath of fresh air in the OPM scene, and they plan on continuing to bring that same energy in their upcoming releases.
For now, experience the beautiful ode to love for yourself and check out Letrang Norte’s “Paruparo” together with their previous releases, now available on all major streaming platforms.
