Philippine rock icon Ely Buendia has finally released his much-awaited second album, Method Adaptor. This new album highlights Buendia’s wide musical style, blending moments of deep reflection with high-energy rock hits.
Produced by Jerome Velasco and Audry Dionisio, with contributions from Erwin Romulo, Method Adaptor is a bold and experimental record that showcases Buendia at his artistic peak.
Covering themes like rebellion, personal struggles, and social pressure, the album’s lyrics match the powerful melodies, making it a must-hear for fans.
In an official statement, Buendia shared, “I think all the songs reflect some kind of rebellion—whether it’s against the struggles and letdowns of life or against people who try to control you. These are the boldest songs I’ve written so far.”
Buendia continued, “Fame didn’t suit me well. It kept me from growing as an artist and made me more cautious overall. For me, releasing this album means accepting both my failures and my successes.
Reflecting on the relief of completing this album, he added, “I was always hesitant about pursuing a solo career. But doing this independently, without others sharing the load, feels really freeing. After thirty years in the industry, I’m finally stepping out of my comfort zone.”
