Filipino actor and singer Alden Richards first rose to fame after the release of his 2013 self-titled debut EP—and his first single “Haplos” laid the groundwork for his signature style of soothing ballads. Richards' pure and expressive vocals perfectly complement the tender, romantic lyricism of his songs, backed up by lush harmonies to create a polished pop sound with an orchestral backdrop. His second album, Say It Again, serves up a danceable mix of electro-pop rock with a slight touch of hip-hop, along with dreamy love songs that have captivated an international audience.
