Swing Out Sister 2020 Philippine Tour (Manila, Cebu. Davao)


Swing Out Sister 2020 Philippine Tour

Corinne Drewery
After almost a dozen years since their last concert (April 7, 2008) in the  Philippines, the English pop duo  Swing Out Sister (SOS), composed of Corinne Drewery (vocals) and Andy Connell (keyboards), is heading back to the Philippines for their 2020 Philippine Tour with special guest Sybil. Their three-leg concert dates are April 16 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, April 17 at the SMX Convention Center, Davao, and April 19 at the Waterfront Hotel, Cebu

The much loved 1980s duo began to dominate the music industry with their sophisticated dance-pop-jazz genre in the autumn of 1986, following the release of the 1986 effervescent song Breakout, their biggest hit to date. The irresistible upbeat single lived up to its name as it became an international chart sensation, not only in the United Kingdom and the US, but in many markets worldwide including the Philippines.

The group was nominated for two Grammy Awards in 1988: Best New Artist and Best Pop Vocal Performance by a Group or Duo ("Breakout").

Swing Out Sister became part of the defining sound of British pop in the late 1980s and one of the most successful pop bands around the globe with their multiple hit songs such as Where in the World, Fooled By a Smile, You On My Mind, the more serious and jazzy Twilight World, Waiting Game, Forever Blue, Am I the Same Girl? (a remake of the Eugene Record soul composition), the brooding Surrender, The Windmills Of Your Mind, La-La (Means I Love You), Love Won’t Let You Down, Now You're Not Here, Precious Words, Not Gonna Change, Get in Touch with Yourself, Better Make It Better, Wake Me Up When It’s Over and Who’s Been Sleeping.

Other cuts include Something Every Day, Time Tracks You Down, Butterfly, My State of Mind, I’d Be Happy, Butterfly Lullaby, Secret Love (You’re Invisible), All I Say All I Do, Out There, Beautiful Mess and Little Wizard Mixes of Butterfly and Something Every Day.

Sybil
Their music is a charming mix of synthesized jazz and funk with echoes of Motown, Burt Bacharach and even the Beatles, a resulting mix that is uniquely Swing Out Sister’s own.

Special guest is Sybil, an American R&B and pop singer–songwriter, who gained notable success in her career with songs during the mid-1980s into the mid-1990s. She achieved worldwide crossover hits with her cover versions of Dionne Warwick’s hits Don't Make Me Over (1989) and Walk On By (1990).   Her other hits include When I'm Good and Ready, Make It Easy On Me, It’s Too Late, The Love I Lost, I Wanna Be Where You Are, Lovely Day, etc.

Swing Out Sister Philippine Tour 2020 with Sybil is presented by Ovation Productions in cooperation with TAP Go: Stream Sports Anywhere!
