For a 17-year-old kid to feel nostalgic about something that happened just a couple of years ago tells a lot about Rob Deniel.
It is this same feeling, this wistfulness, that gives his songs an almost retro vibe. The vibe is right there on his songs such as the harana-like ballad “Gabi,” and on the almost doo-wop sounding “Baby I Tried.” Two of the first few singles that he released just last year.
But someone as young as Rob, that youthful vibrancy is going to come on the stuff that he does. And that’s what he has going for him in his breakout single “Ulap” – indie music with a tinge of 60s pop. Dream-pop sung in yearning falsetto. The sound of what Pinoy pop could be in this roaring ‘20s.
