Midnight Meetings is known for their alternative, neo-soul jazz music, glueing your ears to their songs until the wee hours of the night! Their latest song, Sa Aking Pagpikit is a proof of their neo-soul jazz forte:
The real big news here is that Midnight Meetings has just released an acoustic version of Sa Aking Pagpikit, making them feel nervous and excited at the same time!
"**Sobrang saya kasi hindi pa kami nag-a-acoustic ng original song namin [at] nakaka-pressure at the same time**," said lead vocalist Ashley Gosiengfiao.
Bassist Guada Tagalog admits that it's refreshing to play the acoustic version of their song. "**Bihira kami mag-acoustic so this is refreshing for us… Nakaka-excite rin kasi bagong audience so excited kami makarinig ng feedback and hopefully magustuhan nila**."
"**[This is different from what we've done in the past kasi] GMA siya eh… Malaki yung following so talagang iba 'yung pressure na nararamdaman namin [kaya we hope they will like it]**," added guitarist Ken, according to GMA News.
