#MusicPH - IWI AND NICOLE LAUREL SET TO LAUNCH DUET OF 80s HIT SONG 'SPECIAL MEMORY' ON MAY 9!

“You will always be a special part of me.”

The first line of the very emotional song "Special Memory". Iwi Laurel recounts her experience as she shares how this song became part of her life during the year 1983. “It was during a rehearsal for  a play we were doing with Repertory Philippines when a  friend of mine, Raymond Lauchengco asked me if I could sing one of the songs on the soundtrack of a movie he was working on with Gary Valenciano called “Hotshots." It was a song meant to appear in the dream sequence of the movie. I said yes, and immediately they  gave me the study material  on casette tape. They sent the tape at 11:00AM  and by 1:00PM that day, I found myself in the studio.", Iwi shared.

Fast forward to 2021, Nicole Laurel Asensio found herself taking shape in familiar shadows, nestling her feet in the sand beneath her mother’s footsteps, with so much of history, though unplanned, seemed to repeat itself. 

It was then when Nicole first attempted to reach out to Ms. Cecile Azarcon’s publisher to ask permission if she and her mother could remake the song and re-arrange it as a duet. Through the wire, Ms. Cecile gave her blessing. It was during those days that Nicole was also in constant talks and jam sessions with my regular keyboardist and arranger, Nikko Rivera. She was absolutely delighted to find out that the prolific Mr. Homer Flores had arranged the original version of “Special Memory.” 

The Cecile Azarcon classic masterpiece is truly a “Special” one. It spans generations, it forges an unbreakable bond between a mother and a daughter, who through their unique voices, sing together, creating wonderful moments to cherish.

As a special Mother's Day tribute, noted mother-daughter artists  IWI and NICOLE LAUREL will launch their duet song 'SPECIAL MEMORY' on May 9 via Spotify. The music video will be launched on May 14 via Facebook Live
