Asia’s Pop Heartthrob Darren Espanto has dropped a full-length album dubbed “Ikaw Pa Rin,” his first album under Star Music released in celebration of his 11th year in the industry.

There are 13 tracks in the long play (LP) record, five of which was penned by the “It’s Showtime” and “ASAP” mainstay, including “Bibitaw Na,” “Hanggang Kailan,” “Ilang Beses,” “Iyo,” and “Paano Kung Tayo Na Lang?,” which he co-wrote with Angela Ken.

The title track, “Ikaw Pa Rin,” is a collaboration between Darren and DJ M.O.D., exploring the familiar feeling of choosing your partner regardless of circumstances, with catchy melodies that blend the unique styles of the two artists.

They also performed another track together in the album, “ANNAB,” with a music video featuring Ashley del Mundo now out on ABS-CBN Star Music YouTube channel.
