MANILA, Philippines -- Singer Angeline Quinto wants to have "The Voice of the Philippines" coach Sarah Geronimo as a guest artist in her upcoming album.
"Sa totoo lang pinaguusapan namin ni Sir Jonathan Manalo, actually last year pa 'yon na sana kung magkakaroon ulit ako ng album, sana ay makasama ko si Sarah," Quinto told ABS-CBNNews.com in an interview on Wednesday.
"Kasi gusto ko na magkaroon kami ng duet na parang Barbara Streisand at Celine Dion na 'yung duet nila ay yung 'Tell Him.' So sana kung mabibigyan ng pagkakataon sana ay si Sarah, kasi last year si Ms. Regine (Velasquez) so sana ngayon si Ms. Sarah," she added.
Quinto said this collaboration would also prove that there's really no competition between the two powerful singers.
"Para sa akin po tapos naman na 'yon. Feeling ko ang ibang tao ay pagod na din sa isyu na pinagko-compete kami ni Sarah. Para po matapos na din at least maintindihan ng tao na magkaibigan talaga kami ni Ms. Sarah," Quinto said.
The singer said she's excited to work on her latest album, which will be her third.
Quinto released her self-titled debut album in 2011, which was followed up last year with "Fall in Love Again." Both albums were certified platinum.
The "Star Power" winner explained that she wants to focus again on music after dabbling in acting. Last year, Quinto made her movie debut in "Born to Love You," and early this year headlined her own TV series, "Kahit Konting Pagtingin."
"Sa totoo, sobrang excited ako kasi medyo matagal 'yung pahinga ko sa paggawa nga ng album ulit," she said. "Sa ngayon ay gusto ko pong mag-focus muna sa pagkanta. Sabi ko nga ay ito 'yung right time ulit na makagawa kami ng pangatlong album sa Star Records ulit."
Quinto said her new album will be far different from her previous CD.
"Kasi ang first at second album ko halos ballad lahat ang laman noon. So ngayon gusto ko din po na may maiba. Ako aminado ako na medyo mahina ako sa fast songs so feeling ko ito 'yung time na kailangang harapin ko 'yon, aralin kung ano ang kahinaan ko. So feeling ito 'yung panibagong Angeline na makikita ng tao pagdating sa music," she said.
Included in her album are two revivals and a song she herself composed.
