ARTICLES ON THE WEB: Seal hears about Kuh's divine version of his 'Love's Divine'
Phil. Daily Inquirer, 11/25/2007 - We hope he hears Kuh’s version someday, we said to Seal. He asked for the spelling of her name. “Kuh Ledesma,” he said several times, seemingly trying to memorize the name. “It is always good when somebody sings your song,” Seal stated. More...
Kuh sings the classics
The Phil. Star, 06/1/2007 - I believe that singers, particularly the stars who have been blessed with so much, should record the classic songs, even if only once in their lives.

Mind you, it is far from being a straightforward collection of kundiman tunes. We gave the songs a contemporary slant. The album best exemplifies where I am at now, which is that of reminding our kababayan how rich our culture is... The idea of mixing obra maestras like ‘Bulaklak’ and ‘Mutya ng Pasig’ among others with jazz, RnB, techno and other styles intrigued the artist in me.” More...
