In 1996, Philippine singer
Pops Fernandez released
Colours.
Fernandez is a popular television/film personality, and has much name recognition throughout the Philippines. She is also called the country's "Concert Queen" because of her ability to draw large crowds to her singing engagements. Listening to
Colours, however, one wonders how she ever became the "Concert Queen." Her voice sounds thin and weak. It's obvious that
Fernandez put much effort into the album, and she tries to arouse passion, but the weakness of her voice doesn't allow the songs to fully bloom. In addition, she sings in a higher range than necessary throughout the album, which also makes her vocals sound thin.
