‘Nurse the Dead’ releases OST

CEBU, Philippines — iWant’s new supernatural comedy series “Nurse the Dead” has released its official soundtrack titled “The Denial Song” performed by singer-vocal coach Jade Riccio.   

The moving song was composed by Mark Labella, who is also the creator of the first Filipino-produced series in Hollywood, while he was on a medical mission in Panama. 

“I originally wrote the lyrics and melody while I was in the jungle in Panama during a medical mission, so this song has always carried a very personal emotional connection for me,” Mark shared.  

“What I only recently discovered is that actress Shelley Long personally sponsored me for that mission,” he added, referring to the Hollywood television legend. “So in a strange and beautiful twist of fate, the theme song for ‘Nurse the Dead’ was written in the jungles of Panama during a medical mission made possible by one of Hollywood’s most iconic actresses.”

“The Denial Song,” available on music streaming platforms worldwide, was produced by RMA Studio Academy, Jade Riccio, Wesley Villarica, and Marvin Aritrangco and released under Star Music. 

“Nurse the Dead” stars Jelynn Sophia Malone, alongside Anthony Jennings, Princess Punzalan, Ruby Rodriguez, Gigette Reyes, and Tootsie Guevara. It premiered on iWant last June 12, with new episodes dropping every Friday. — (FREEMAN)
