Sabrina Orial: Asia’s acoustic sweetheart

MANILA,Philippines – Sabrina Orial is a sweetheart in all her ways: in the way she talks, walks, especially in the way she sings. 

No wonder she has almost all of Asia enthralled with her singing, from Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, and even Korea. She is credited for having started the acoustic music trend in south east Asia, often tagged as the female counterpart of Christian Bautista in terms of status and achievement. Her songs are played everywhere, from music bars to department stores.

Last March 24 at Supermal Karawaci in Jakarta, Sabrina was surprised mid-performance by Universal Music Indonesia with a platinum award for her latest album, I Love Acoustic 4. This means that her album has reached the 10,000-copy sales mark. Her previous albums, I Love Acoustic 1 to 3, hit double platinum also in Indonesia, and gold in Singapore and Thailand.

Sabrina’s latest single from I Love Acoustic 4 is the Maroon 5 original, “Moves Like Jagger.” Catch her impromptu acoustic performance and conversation with RAPPLER here:
