“It has always been a dream of mine to record our songs live, because there’s always something special that gets captured when we play live together,” Barbie said. “My producers and collaborators did such a great job of making you feel like you’re at the gig.”

Barbie also reunited with her former bandmates from Hungry Young Poets (Ricci Gurango, Franklin Benitez) and Barbie’s Cradle (Rommel dela Cruz, Kakoy Legaspi, Wendell Garcia) in a concert titled, “Firewoman: 25 Years of Barbie Almalbis,” last March 11 at Mandala Park in Mandaluyong City.

“It’s bittersweet. I’m excited that I will get to jam with them again. I had so many amazing memories with them. But when I think of it, I’m like, ‘Why didn’t we continue?’ But we were young then, a bit crazy and had a lot of growing up to do, so we had to go our separate ways. But then again, I’m thankful for the chance to revisit old songs with them.”

Asked what advice she could give hopefuls aspiring for career longevity, Barbie said it’s important that musicians never stop being music fans. “You have to continue being a music fan because every musician started out as one. Sometimes, when it becomes your job, you don’t feel like listening to new music anymore. The moment you stop being a music fan is the moment you stop finding new inspiration.”

“Sometimes, your work is celebrated; sometimes, it’s not. But you just have to keep going. Keep finding that joy and be proud of what you do,” Barbie added.
