Its uncertainty has not only instilled fear and anxiety but also forced us to participate in a game of risk roulette. Everyone is trying to survive a global health crisis that seems endless and outwit an invisible enemy in the new
normal.

But Darren Espanto wants us to believe that love will always be our guiding light even in the most difficult of times. The accomplished recording artist is optimistic his voice can become a catalyst to spark hope and to make a positive difference in the spirit of Christmas.

Darren wants to keep the holiday tradition alive by spreading kindness and joy this festive season.

Hence, Darren’s new song, Believe in Christmas.

Keeping Christmas Alive

Darren’s message, “This year, there’s no other way to celebrate Christmas but to be grateful for the simple things that life has to offer amid trying, challenging times.”

He is referring to the health and economic crisis that the whole world had faced due to Covid-19. And now, the Philippines is still trying to get back after being ravaged by several typhoons.

“More than ever, this gives us a chance to strengthen our faith and love for one another, and protect the family and loved ones whose lives matter more than anything else in this world. This Christmas is different from what we’ve been accustomed to for sure, but I’m positive that we’ll
emerge stronger, better individuals after this crisis unfolds. For as long as we have each other, no grueling situation can hold us down.”

The Resilience of Filipinos

Our capacity to bounce back from an adverse event is something that Filipinos have always done after a recession, personal catastrophe, or a storm. We have become experts in handling gigantic problems like these.

And this is something that Darren tackles on his new single “Believe in Christmas.” He sings this as an anthem of hope amidst brokenness and frailty.

Believe in Christmas isn’t just your typical Holiday anthem wrapped in high spirits and effervescent glow.

Written by industry respected songwriter, Tiny Corpuz, the song’s message
aims to spark the light of hope in a world full of dimly lit spirits. It acknowledges the current time and situation that we live in. But as the
lyrics put it,

“When love shines through, there’s always something more: a new season, a new reason, a spark of hope and joy to believe in.

Darren’s Creative Direction

For his part, Darren interprets the material with utmost care and sensitivity, singing as if his life depends on it.

The Canadian-Filipino recording sensation has always been known for his incredible technique and soulful singing. But in Believe in Christmas, he has also developed a deeper understanding of the narrative, perhaps because it feels closer to home. Plus, he is not removed from the realities that we are facing today.

Additionally, he’s also more involved in the recording process as a vocal producer, ensuring that he gives the best vocal performance possible.

“Believe In Christmas” composer and overall producer Tiny Corpuz attests to Darren’s potential as a multi-faceted artist with so much talent. “Darren is a total performer. He sings, dances, even acts, and now, he is exploring on songwriting and production. A true artist knows what he wants. We’ve witnessed him grow. He’ll definitely go places with that kind of determination and passion.”
