Maria Laroco, the teen singer who competed in The X Factor UK in 2018, has released a debut album and is now available in various digital platforms. Entitled Just Maria, the 18-year-old singer said that album will be released internationally as well via the label Ordic Records.
Maria said, her stint in The X Factor UK opened a lot of opportunities for her. Not only that she’s able to travel, she’s able to showcase young Pinoy talents with the rest of the world.
“The show really taught me a lot of things, from singing techniques to how I project myself on stage, that experience is something that I’m going to remember for the rest of my life,” she told Manila Standard in an interview.
The teen singer admitted that she and her team were preparing for something big for her fans and supporters, and the idea of releasing an album was just presented on the table and was not part of the original plan.
“In October last year, we told you that we were cooking up something big. We were referring to a tour and concerts. The album was not part of the original plan,” she told the author.
But with her own catalogue now, Maria excitedly shared that a concert is not far from happening.
“Hopefully, it will happen soon. I want to perform my own songs and the songs that I grew up with,” she said.
Just Maria contains 10 original songs with a carrier single entitled “Imagine.”
“It is a love song and tackles the magic of love that mostly teenagers like me running through nowadays,” she admitted.
Just Maria is now available on digital music platforms like BandCamp, Spotify, Deezer, Spinner, iTunes, and many more.
