Just in time forย Christian Bautistaโ€™sย celebration of his now two-decade music career,ย Sam Concepcion reimagines his 2017 hit song โ€œKapitโ€ and did not just record one but two versions of it.

The multitalented singer recently made his return to his Universal Records family and released two brand new mixes of “Kapit” that take the song to even greater heights with its infectious groove.

Concepcion’s homage to Asiaโ€™s Romantic Balladeer is indeed one-of-a-kind. He put his own spin on the track and infused it with his signature sound and energy.

Watch the official lyric video below:

Recalling how he accepted the offer to cover a Christian Bautista hit, he shares,ย โ€œIt just happened. I learned that thereโ€™s a compilation album thatโ€™s being made for Christian Bautista and as some people may already know, we spent a lot of time together in our careers, especially during the beginning. We have the same management, same network, and all that.โ€

โ€œSo fast forward, when the opportunity presented itself to remake a song that I really like, that I am aware of, and Iโ€™ve listened to countless times before, I took the opportunity to record and sing it,โ€ Concepcion adds. He also said that heโ€™s also happy about the longevity of Bautista’s career.

When asked about the reason why he worked with two producers to make two mixes of โ€œKapit,โ€ the singer said that there are two effective ways of interpreting the song.

โ€œThere were two ways of approaching it and I worked with two different producers to come up with two different versions of the song. One is a bit more chill and laid back. The other has a faster tempo. So you get two, which is great because it completely changes the whole mood and it creates a different context for the song,โ€ Concepcion explains.

โ€œKapitโ€ and โ€œKapit (The Other Mix)” are now available on your favorite digital streaming platforms.
