Tito Boy seized the homosexual, este day. What higher technique to conclude the Satisfaction month than by singing new LGBTQ+ anthems to remind us that “one love matches all.” Homosexual satisfaction is one thing Tito Boy wears nicely.

It’s ironic that I’ve been within the leisure business for therefore lengthy, but it surely’s solely now that I’ve considered music as a software to inform our tales. Songs have a way of permanence. I would like the EP to be my legacy to the LGBTQ+ neighborhood.

“Papa Alleluia” is our thanks to the Pope. Simply as he mentioned, “If somebody seeks the Lord and is an effective particular person, who’re we to evaluate if he’s homosexual?” I’m Catholic. I don’t wish to combat with the Catholic church.

“Diyos Ko, Diyos Ko Po” is sort of a prayer. The message of the tune is a part of our reality. We’re all kids of God, no matter our gender.

“Kalbaryo” highlights the discrimination. In some locations, gays are nonetheless invisible. It’s unusual when individuals say, “Okay lang that he’s homosexual kasi he designs garments nicely or he’s a great performer.” Why can’t we be accepted for who we’re as people?

I’ve composed many different songs for the neighborhood. Within the subsequent EP, the songs might be extra on the naughty facet. The title of one of many cuts is “Mahal Ko, Mahal ng Bayan.”

I can’t decide which one in every of my compositions is closest to my coronary heart. It’s like asking a mom who her favourite little one is. The love stays complete and equal.
