Judy Ann, Christopher, Susan, and more join the ‘kontradiva’ in the MV
Staying true to her legendary kontrabida reputation, Gladys Reyes brings the drama and delights fans with the debut of her “Primera Kontrabida” music video. The visual features special guest appearances from her former Mara Clara castmates, including Judy Ann Santos. For her very first music video, Gladys aimed to evoke pure nostalgia and recreate the unforgettable emotions of her classic teleserye era.
“I want it to be nostalgic, iconic. It has a teleserye touch. But aside from that, gusto ko pang may maging participation yung mga naging kasama ko sa mga teleserye,” she said.
The music video also includes appearances by Susan Africa, Juan Rodrigo, Wowee de Guzman, the Universal Motion Dancers, and her husband and former Mara Clara co-star, Christopher Roxas.
Once celebrated as a premier kontrabida, the Star Magic artist is now earning the title of today’s “kontradiva.” Having spent years honing her vocal and stage skills both locally and abroad, she is grateful for the opportunity to finally spotlight her musical talent with an original song of her own.
“In my many years in the industry, never pa ako nabigyan ng chance to have my own song. Dream come true or answered prayer po na mabigyan ng kantang bagay na bagay pa sa akin,” shared Gladys.
The track was written by Jonathan Manalo, head of ABS-CBN Music creatives, content, and operations, who also co-produced the single alongside StarPop label head Roque “Rox” Santos. Following the release of “Primera Kontrabida,” Gladys is gearing up to record five additional tracks for her forthcoming EP under StarPop.
The “Primera Kontrabida” MV is now available on the ABS-CBN Star Music YouTube channel. For more details on Glady’s music, follow StarPop on Facebook, X, Instagram, and TikTok.
