OPM listeners will surely have a refreshing listening experience as I Belong To The Zoo puts on a new flavor to “Hands To Heaven,” a song originally performed by English new wave band Breathe during the ’80s. It eventually became popular in the Philippine airwaves during the early to mid 2000s.

The band, fronted by singer-songwriter Argee Guerrero, is no longer a rookie when it comes to doing versions of the songs they love. This is evident in different song covers the band shares on their official YouTube channel since the pandemic began. Leading to the release of the song, the band shared cryptic teasers on social media with the hashtag #XBXX.

As their fans would expect, IBTTZ’s “Hands To Heaven” has an alternative rock feel to it. It’s obvious that the group poured their soul into making this rendition. With beefy electric guitar tones and smooth vocals, I Belong To The Zoo has a unique way of channeling the song’s core message to its listeners.
