Spotify teams up with Jose Mari Chan and Tatak Pinoy All-Stars on First Asia-made Holiday Single

What is Christmas in the Philippines without Jose Mari Chan’s beautiful holiday songs ringing throughout the nation? Today, Spotify has partnered with this legendary crooner and some of the hottest OPM artists to deliver an early gift under the tree; a fresh rendition of his 1990 classic “A Perfect Christmas”. 

Available exclusively to stream on Spotify as part of Spotify Singles: Holiday,  “A Perfect Christmas” sees Jose Mari Chan teaming up with Ben&Ben, December Avenue, I Belong to the Zoo, Julie Anne San Jose and Moira Dela Torre who each bring their own unique sound to the track. The Single will feature on Spotify’s Paskong Pinoy playlist.

“We are thrilled to be working with Jose Mari Chan and these talented OPM artists for the launch of Spotify’s first Asia-made Holiday Single. Christmas is one of the biggest cultural moments in the Philippines and we want to celebrate it with our listeners,” says Kossy Ng, Artist & Label Marketing Lead, Spotify, Southeast Asia. She adds, “We kick-started 2019 with a relaunch of our flagship OPM playlist Tatak Pinoy and we’re excited to end the year with yet another big OPM moment, which is a testimony to our continued support to the thriving local music scene!”

Jose Mari Chan says, “When I recorded the track back in the 90s, I never dreamed that it would become the quintessential Christmas song it is today; that it would be listened to year after year and loved by generations. To me, the spirit of Christmas is being able to give and share your love and Christmas isn’t ‘perfect’ without someone special, someone you love.”

“This collaboration pays tribute to a holiday classic while reinventing what a Christmas special can be and we are so excited to be a part of its history,” says December Avenue. Moira Dela Torre adds, “The song is close to my heart. It has always been one of my favorite Christmas songs and now it feels even more special to me.”

Ben&Ben says, “We actually had the opportunity to do a cover of Jose Mari Chan’s song “Beautiful Girl” earlier this year for the Spotify Jams: OPM Love Songs campaign. Being able to collaborate with him on one of his Christmas classics is an absolute honour.”

For I Belong to the Zoo and Julie Anne San Jose, a perfect Christmas means being able to spend more time with family; celebrating the holidays with their loved ones. Julie Anne San Jose adds, “For me, Christmas is also about showing gratitude and being able to share and give your blessings to other people.” 

"We are delighted to work together with Spotify, Jose Mari Chan, and the all-star line up to bring this reimagined version of "A Perfect Christmas" for the Christmas season. This collaboration has presented itself as the perfect opportunity to celebrate what makes it a well-beloved track, the amazing talent we have in the country, and the true reason behind the season," says Kathleen Dy-Go, Managing Director of Universal Records, Philippines.

Lenovo Vibe Shot captures the VIBE On at Art In Island

What better way to capture Art in Island, the Interactive Museum in Cubao  using the  Lenovo Vibe Shot, all of us (from the media) posed with the 3D paintings displayed inside the museum,  from floor to ceiling.  It was indeed fun as all of us became competitive upon learning that a contest for the Best VIBE On shot using the Lenovibe Vibe Shot would win us the smart phone.

 Lenovo announced the launch of VIBE ON last July 29 at Art In Island, Cubao with Lenovo Vibe On ambassadors Monika Sta. Maria and Alyssa Valdez.   A new and vibrant campaign identity aimed at strengthening awareness of its smartphones globally. VIBE ON is an extension of Lenovo’s overarching master brand position, predicated on the belief that life rewards those that never stand still.

Targeted predominantly at millennials, the VIBE ON brand promise aims to empower individuals to go their own way, by providing smartphones with the latest technology and features that they care about, at a price they wouldn’t expect.

“Consumers nowadays are increasingly savvy and price conscious. Most of them are discerning enough to trade “good-to-have” features for products that offer outstanding value,” said Dino Romano, Country Lead, Lenovo Smartphones, Philippines. “The VIBE ON promise emphasizes our belief in making cutting-edge technologies with innovative designs but a price that is not expensive and exclusive.”

The design philosophy behind Lenovo's VIBE series of smartphones is embodied across three main product pillars – a seamless camera experience, enhanced multimedia capabilities, and an adaptive VIBE user interface. A great example is the latest Lenovo VIBE Shot, which offers the best of both worlds by combining a premium 4G smartphone with a high-performance camera that incorporates advanced “prosumer” hardware and features that budding and seasoned photographers will love.

Today, Lenovo also introduced the official VIBE ON campaign ambassadors for Philippines, Monika Sta. Maria and Alyssa Valdez. Monika was recently part of the top 3 in Asia’s Next Top Model while Alyssa is a multi-awarded athlete from Ateneo De Manila University and considered as best collegiate volleyball player in the Philippines today. Both ambassadors are successful in their chosen fields and an inspiration to millennials today.


The bold and lively VIBE ON branding will be integrated end-to-end for the smartphone business to provide a seamless consumer experience – from advertising to packaging and accessories to the VIBE UI.

We all have it in us. A thing that’s just ours.
A style. An idea. A spirit.
A voice that says you’re here to do something great.
Something that hasn’t been done — by you. Maybe by anyone.
It calls you to go your own way.
Stand out from something. Stand up for something.
Be adventurous and free.
Go on.
Charge on.
Rock on.
Play on.
Power on.
Keep on.
Because great things are waiting.
And we want to help make them yours.

Lenovo VIBE.
VIBE ON.
