Within the next few hours since its release, all the Filipino music community could seem to talk about is Unique's first solo album Grandma.
After the polarizing reactions avid fans and Filipino artists shared about Unique's debut offering 'Midnight Sky,' praise towards Grandma, which was mixed and mastered by Emil dela Rosa, has critically taken over social media. Things are looking good for the 18-year-old singer-songwriter, and it's obvious everyone can't wait for his forthcoming major concert at the Kia Theatre.
Check out some hot takes local musicians shared on the album on Twitter.

BP Valenzuela points out that people should stop making memes about Unique's upcoming major concert.
https://t.co/7jwTNoNTL5 this album is really good. stop making memes abt an expensive show (why not pay more for shows?) and let him play the whole thing live on his own terms haha

Icoy Rapadas of Lions & Acrobats realizes 'Midnight Sky' sounds so much better after listening to the entire album.
You know how you felt like Midnight Sky was “k lang” when you first heard it? Well baka kayo hindi, pero ako, oo. BUT NOW, listening to his album from cover to cover, Midnight Sky suddenly sounds so much better??? Context changes everything. Wow.
