_______________________________________________________________________
Imago was formed in 1998. They wrote an albumÆs worth of
original material which they recorded under the helm of
producer and musician Bob Marlow. Their first album Probably
Not But Most Definitely was released in 1999 under Maharlika
Records.
The band has picked up a handful of Katha and NU107 Rock
Awards (Best Female Award for Aia De Leon and Best Music
Video for "Akap") from the first cd.[1]
ImagoÆs second album was released four years after. Recorded
in 2003, the cdÆs release was delayed by unexpected record
label setbacks. Enthusiastic over their new songs however,
the band was determined to release the album no matter what.
Composed of eleven new cuts (plus four remixes by some of
ManilaÆs premiere electronica acts), the material is
relatively heavier compared to the first album. Released
independently, Take 2 featured hit songs such as Akap and
Anino.[2]
In 2006, Imago released their third album, "Blush" under
Universal Records with "Taralets" as the lead single which
was one of the certified hits of 2006 in the radio and music
video channels. The song was also used as a theme song for
the movie "Pitong Dalagita" and as a campaign jingle for a
Philippine senatorial candidate. In the same year, they
recorded a revival of Ewan, which was originally sung by the
Apo Hiking Society. In 2007, they earned a nomination for
Favorite Artist in the 2007 MYX Music Awards. They also
released their second single of their "Blush" album, "Sundo".
The music video was directed by Marie Jamora which was also
the director for their previous videos, Akap and Taralets.
After the success of the third single Walang Misteryo (No
Mystery), their fourth single, entitled "Under Repair" was
recently released. The video of the latest single features
the band impersonating ABBA.
"Blush" has also been certified Gold Record last January
2008, shortly after the release of the album's Special
Edition CD.
Last March 2008, the band was invited to be one of the many
other artists from all over the world to perform in the
annual Mosaic Music Festival in Singapore. Lead vocalist Aia
de Leon, also shared vocal duties with Broken Social Scene's
Kevin Drew during his band's opening number at the same
event.
