About This Album
R&B as a genre has long moved far beyond its origins, taking root in creative communities across every inhabited continent, adapting to the specific tastes, creative priorities, and cultural frameworks of each region that claims it as a core part of its local musical identity. Few places have nurtured R&B with as sustained and nuanced a commitment as the Philippines, where the genre has grown from an imported sound to a core pillar of the country’s broader musical landscape, woven into decades of local recording that refashions R&B’s core structural and thematic traits to align with the unique storytelling and creative priorities of Filipino artists and audiences alike. Within that rich lineage sits My Very Best, an album that emerges from that deep, ongoing engagement with R&B as both a global format and a locally rooted mode of creative expression, building on the decades of work that have turned the genre into a staple of Filipino recorded music.
