From musical women of substance

TWO women of substance comprise Curve Entertainment’s newest music releases for this month that are sure to capture the hearts, minds and ears of the listeners.

Making her debut is 18-year-old Filipino-Canadian singer-songwriter and ramp-commercial model Iona Gibbs. Her first single, a soulful rendition of Bonnie Raitt’s “I Can’t Make You Love Me,” was born from her love of the original song and her desire to reinvent the classics with a sound more tailored for the new generation. Highly inspired by OPM’s modern take on R&B, she wanted to incorporate the feel of current music while bringing back to life the songs that inspired her to pursue music in the first place. The single has been chosen as the official Philippine soundtrack of the upcoming GMA Asianovela series “My Forever Sunshine,” which will start to air in July.

Likewise, former General Luna lead guitarist Caren Tevanny has released her new single entitled “Deliverance,” her first in over a year. The emotionally-driven song, written by Tevanny herself and produced by Vince Lucero, is about pursuing one’s dreams no matter what and setting one free from fear and insecurity.

Gibbs and Tevanny are definitely two different personalities with two different genres. Nevertheless, they share a single and powerful passion for music.

Check out their songs via streaming or download across global digital platforms.
