Rico Blanco and Amber Davis Mashup

Rico Blanco and Amber Davis at Coke Music Studio - 5

Rico Blanco and Amber Davis are both solo artists but, their music belongs to two different genres which can result into an interesting mash-up. The songs that Rico Blanco and Amber Davis mashed up were “Neon Lights” (by Rico Blanco) and “Manila” (by Amber Davis).

I think that Amber Davis is very lucky to work with Rico Blanco since Rico Blanco has a lot of experience and is one of the country’s top composers/songwriters.

“Neon Lights” and “Manila” Mash-up Review

Rico Blanco and Amber Davis at Coke Music Studio - 14

“Neon Lights” is a song from Rico Blanco’s debut album, “Your Universe”, as a solo artist. “Neon Lights” made it to the number one spot in the Hong Kong charts. This is one of my favorites from the album “Your Universe”. “Manila” is from Amber Davis’ album “Feel Good Music”.

Hearing those two songs shouldn’t be that hard to mash-up together. “Neon Lights” is a bit upbeat and makes me want to dance while the song “Manila” falls under the R&B genre.

The “Neon Lights” and “Manila” mash-up sounded like a medley. They first started off with the first part of “Neon Lights”. I think it’s a faster version. Then, they transitioned to “Manila” with a reggae sound and then to reggae/alternative. And then both Amber Davis and Rico Blanco sang “Manila” and “Neon Lights” altogether for their finale. I think that’s the best part of their mash-up.
