The name may not be familiar to you. But if we had to give the name Charice Pempengco and then mentioned Sunshine Corazon from Glee? You’re with us now? Good! Yes, whilst she has released material in America (and we’re not talking about the Glee releases!), she’s soon going to be known to fans of Final Fantasy as she’s been chosen to sing Final Fantasy XIII-2 theme for the International release of the game early next year.
It is a much better fitting song for the game that it’s predecessor (sorry Leona!) and whilst it showcases the vocals well, we’re not convinced that it showcases her true potential. Maybe it’s the song itself that’s the problem, but still, let’s not dwell on it. Beautiful ballad that serves it purpose. Let’s hope that the associations with Glee and Final Fantasy will bring her to attention of new fans!
Rating: 4/5
