Kuh Ledesma tries new songs and show concepts

After establishing their names in their chosen fields, artists need to reinvent themselves or experiment to offer something new. Kuh Ledesma knows the value of it, song- and show-wise.

“Of course, it’s important,” said the Original Pilipino Music (OPM) icon in a recent chat with The STAR.

She and her team would think of themes and concepts or tweak the existing format that could be explored every time. Thus, there’s always something new the audience can anticipate.

“It’s always important to have a theme, a concept para may pinanghahawakan yung artist, yung palabas (so that the artist or the show has an idea to anchor himself/herself or itself),” shared she, “and also the people who are coming, they will know more or less what to expect.”

For Kuh, it’s also important for a singer to experiment with songs and expressions.

“Tinitignan mo (you figure out) what works and what’s best for you. For me, I just let go when I’m singing,” said she.

With her upcoming show titled “Kuh Sings Her ABCs” on Oct. 18, 8 p.m., at the Music Museum, fans and music enthusiasts may have an idea about the presentation, but they will be treated to a musical experience like no other. She did such a musical concept last August.
