M.E. shoots latest video “The Take Back” in New York City! 0

Posted on March 11, 2010 by kankan
After releasing the epic song “Sleeping While The World’s Awake,” M.E. is back and all set to rock with his latest single “The Take Back” (still taken from his current E.P., Sleeping While The World’s Awake).
The song features a more up-beat and head bobbing vibe – one that many will enjoy not just listening to but experiencing the LIVE performance of as well. Another original track of his, Miguel Escueta shares that the song is about “having self pride, and not letting anyone take that away from you. We always look for other people to blame, but at the end of the day, what is made of each of our personal situations is really up to us. Its basically the ‘get off your butt and make it happen’ type of song.”
To add even more spunk and jolt to it, the video proves to be M.E.’s most surprising one yet as he actually shot it in New York City! It features Miguel sucked into the Big City’s vibe and sunk in a little snow here and there, too. Shooting the video there was possible by the undying support of his label MCA MUSIC Inc. and management The ALV Talent Circuit.
“The Take Back” is set to premiere on MYX this March and will have a special online premiere on MYXPH.com this Friday, March 12 at 11am (Manila Time).
Miguel’s E.P. “Sleeping While The World’s Awake” is made available courtesy of MCA MUSIC Inc. and also brought to you by Roadtone Guitars, Human, Deca Wake Davao, The ALV Talent Circuit and Heartfire Studios.
