#DareToGetCloser with the help of closeup
ICYMI: closeup premiered a remake of the classic ‘90s single Closer You & I reimagined by OPM balladeer Adie. Donny Pangilinan and Belle Mariano star in the super nakakakilig music video, directed by Direk Tonette Jadaone.
Last January 13, closeup hosted a launch party-turned-fan meet with DonBelle, Adie, Direk Tonette and lucky fans who had the opportunity to share the stage with them. Fans were able to try out TikTok dance trends and play games like “Blind Box” with Donny and Belle. A short Q&A panel was held where fans also had the opportunity to get access to behind-the-scenes of the music video. Adie even performed the single live for the very first time!
Here’s a sneak peek of what you missed:
