Jolina Sings the Masters is the fourth studio album by Filipino singer-actress Jolina Magdangal released by Star Music on August 15, 2002. The album consists of 15 songs mostly ballads, with some come with a light pop lilt.[1] The album's title refers to the songwriters who contributed songs to the collection, whose works have become contemporary classics in Philippine music industry earning them the right to be referred to as masters.[1] The album took eight months to finish due to Magdangal's concert tours around the Philippines and in major cities around the world.[2]

The album showcased the transition of Magdangal from a youth kiddie pop to a grown-up artist, getting rid of the colorful wardrobe, hair ribbons and her trademark bangs and exploring adult emotions in the songs.[1]

The first single released from the album was "Kahit Di Mo Pansin", composed by Vehnee Saturno.[1] Other notable pieces include her covers of "Million Miles Away", which she performed live in the 2003 Asian Television Awards;[3] "Kahit Ika'y Panaginip Lang", which was used in her television series Kahit Kailan; "How Will I Know", which was personally written by David Pomeranz for her; and "No Letting Go", which she and composer Trina Belaminde collaborated in the song's concept.[1]

Critical reception

Commercial performance

[edit]

The album was awarded with a gold record certification from the Philippine Association of the Record Industry (PARI).[5]
