Regine Velasquez

Freedom was a livestream concert by Filipino singer Regine Velasquez (pictured) held on February 28, 2021. Following the cancellation of music events during the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, Velasquez curated the show to create a live experience on a stream for her fans longing for a sense of human connection. The concert's premise was "freedom of singing", stemming from her desire to cover songs from several music genres. It was filmed at the ABS-CBN Studios in Manila, with musicians, background vocalists, and dancers on set, and was broadcast through four live streaming platforms worldwide. Its set featured a large LED screen as a backdrop and geometric structures of birds hanging from the ceiling.

Critics gave the show high praise for its production and vocal performances, setting a benchmark for online concerts in the Philippines. (Full article...)
