Vincent Eco, and the many ways a heart can break

There are very few singer-songwriters who can pen a song about heartbreak like Vincent Eco.

I know, that’s quite a statement to make considering how Filipino music is chock full of songs about heartbreak. But if his unique singing style – think a raspier, huskier Bob Dylan – didn’t pull you in, then it was his simple, yet heart wrenching lyrics. And he had heaps of them. 

Eco’s talent for weaving stories of the many ways a heart shatters and mends shines through the noise, whether they’re told in Bisaya or English.
