Although he has been away from the local entertainment scene for more than a decade because of his work in international cruise ships, Laurente found a perfect time to record an 11-track album when the ocean liners went on lockdown.
“Milestone” leads with the re-imagined track, “Someone To Watch Over Me,” given an a cappella arrangement by Andre Castillo, Laurente’s former colleague in The CompanY. With this song, the two paid tribute to their erstwhile vocal group. The promotional video of the song was directed by the tandem Mikko Angeles and Patrick Nobleza.
There are two OPM revivals in “Milestone.” With Tricia Amper-Jimenez, Laurente recorded Gines Tan’s “Di Na Muling Mag-iisa,” originally sung by Basil Valdes and Pat Castillo. The song was arranged by the father and son team of Henry and Rush Garcia. “Sandaling Pinakahihintay” is a popular inspirational piece by Prof. Augusto “Agot” Espino and arranged by Naldy Rodriguez.
There are also “Panalo,” a song by Soc Villanueva arranged by Kahlil Refuerzo with Orly De la Cruz as co-arranger; an inspirational cut, “Stronger Together As One,” composed by Jasmine Aquino and arranged by Erle "Eboy" Refuerzo; and a Christmas OPM, “Pasko Na,” written and arranged by Arnel De Pano.
