Miguel Escueta Covers Mandy Moore's "Only Hope"

Back in December, we discussed Donna Lynne Champlin's cover of Mandy Moore's hit track, "Only Hope." A powerful song that appeared in Mandy's 2002 film, A Walk to Remember, it resurfaced on Champlin's debut album entitled, "Old Friends."

To our surprise, we discovered yet another re-release of "Only Hope," this time by Filipino pop-phenom, Miguel Escueta. Appearing on his third studio album entitled Sleeping While the World's Awake, "Only Hope" is among a handful of covers by the 25 year old artist, better known for such original hits as "Handa," "Falling Away," "Take Me There," and "Close to the Edge."  

In a nod to Mandy's original rendition, Escueta easily connects to the raw emotionality in this impressive re-release. Showcasing a polished alt-rock sound that combines remarkable vocals with inspired instrumentals, the latest version of "Only Hope" is a delight to listen to and enjoy.

Enjoy!
