Joyce Bernal's Miss Granny, an adaptation of the 2014 South Korean film of the same name, was Geronimo's film project of 2018. It is about an elderly woman (played by Nova Villa) who transforms into a young lady after visiting a photo studio.[138][139] In preparation for her role, Geronimo visited retirement homes during filming and studied Villa's mannerisms so that she could emulate them in her performance. She said of her character: "This is my first time to be a mom [and] to be a grandmother ... But it's very challenging for me to imagine that I’m already old."[140] Critics praise Geronimo's performance, in particular her singing voice, which was likened and compared to that of Villa,[138][139][141] but Rappler's Oggs Cruz criticized the film's plot for lacking some consistency.[141] She also recorded the songs "Kiss Me, Kiss Me" and "Isa Pang Araw" for the film's soundtrack,[142] which won the Best Performance by a Female Recording Artist and Best Song Written for Movie, TV, or Stage Play at the 2019 Awit Awards.[143] Gil likened and compared the soundtrack to Filipino pop music from the 1960s and the 1970s.[142] For her performance in the film, Geronimo won the Star Award for Best Movie Actress.[144]

Marriage and concerts

[edit]

On February 14 and 15, 2020, Geronimo and Regine Velasquez co-headlined a two-date concert titled Unified.[154] Reviews praised and highlighted Geronimo's vocal abilities and performances.[154][155] For the concert, Geronimo earned a nomination for Female Concert Performer of the Year at the 2022 Star Awards for Music,[156] and was co-awarded Best Collaboration in a Concert at the 2020 Aliw Awards.[157] Five days after the concert, she married Guidicelli in a private ceremony held in Taguig.[158] Following this, she took a hiatus from professional engagements, expressing her desire to create original music.[159] Despite the hiatus, her livestream concert, titled Tala: The Film Concert, was broadcast in 2021 via livestream platforms; it featured rearrangements of her previously-released songs and was shot at the Araneta Coliseum.[160] After a four-year hiatus from releasing music material, Geronimo released her single "Dati-Dati" in October 2022. Written by Jin Chan and produced by Su Ganade and Dylan Graham, it is described as an "ear-tweaking dance [track] that is grooving" with lyrics focusing on reliving positive experiences from the past.[161][162] Later that month she then released the next single "Cuore", which was co-written by Thyro Alfaro, Yumi Lacsamana, and her husband Matteo Guidicelli.[163] Geronimo said that she at first rejected the song because the lyrics were too reminiscent of her personal life.[164]

To mark her 20-year career milestone, Geronimo released her single "Habang Buhay" in March 2023. Two months later, also in commemoration of the milestone, Geronimo directed and headlined a concert in the Araneta Coliseum.[165][166][167] During the concert, she debuted the single "My Mind" in collaboration with Billy Crawford, who served as the song's co-writer and co-producer;[168] its accompanying music video was released the following year.[169] Also at the Araneta Coliseum, Geronimo and Bamboo Mañalac co-headlined a concert that July.[170][171] She then released two collaboration singles: "Treading Water" with Bamboo[172] and "Alam" with John Roa of the hip-hop group Ex Battalion.[173] In March 2024, Geronimo was honored with a Global Force Award at the Billboard Women in Music event at the YouTube Theater in Los Angeles, California, becoming the first Filipino to receive an award in the event show's history.[174] At the Philippine edition of the event in the same month, Billboard Philippines named her as the Woman of the Year.[175] On July 24, her cover of "Maybe This Time" charted on the Philippines Hot 100, marking Geronimo's debut on the chart.[176] The song eventually became a viral hit on TikTok when a video of a high school senior dancing to the song's bridge was posted on the social media platform.[100][177]

Geronimo's upcoming films include a Philippine adaptation of the South Korean film Wonderful Nightmare (2015),[178] and an untitled film which she will co-star alongside John Lloyd Cruz.[179]

Artistry

[edit]

"Initially, no amount of vocal bravado could give [Geronimo] the lived-in sensibility and vocal pizzazz that her first recording efforts—despite their chart-topping popularity and brisk sales—sorely lacked. ... [She] has subtly shown that there is more to her than her Pied Piper-like ability to turn sappy lyrics and hum-worthy melodies into bestselling hits."

—The Philippine Daily Inquirer's Rito Asilo on Geronimo's evolving artistry[41]

Influences

[edit]

Geronimo's father introduced her to music at a young age.[165] In a 2004 interview with the Philippine Daily Inquirer, she recalled that she practiced singing with her father, and cited Jose Mari Chan's "Christmas in Our Hearts" as one of the first songs she was familiar with.[6] She also cited Louie Reyes's "Light of a Million Morning" as the "song of [her] life".[5] Growing up, she listened to the music of Michael Jackson.[180] Her musical inspiration varies from classic musicians like Frank Sinatra, Tom Jones, The Beatles, Elvis Presley, and the Bee Gees, to pop and R&B singers like Whitney Houston and Celine Dion.[165] She has also cited singers Sharon Cuneta, Lea Salonga, and Regine Velasquez as role models,[5][9] adding that the latter made her realize the value of hard work in pursuing a career in music.[95] She also expressed interest in collaborating with him on a concert.[170] The two did eventually perform a concert together in 2023.[171]

Her 2018 single "Sandata" takes influences from synth-pop music of the 1980s,[181] whereas her contributions to the Miss Granny soundtrack was influenced by 1960s and 1970s music from Filipino artists, including Nora Aunor and Pilita Corrales.[142] Geronimo also paid homage to pop-rock artists, specifically singer-songwriter Rico Blanco, the former lead vocalist of Rivermaya from 1994 to 2007, by performing a cover of "Your Universe" from Blanco's solo album of the same title,[182] and The Dawn, by co-performing the band's single "Salamat" at the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup at the Philippine Arena in Bocaue, Bulacan.[183]

Musical style and themes

[edit]

Geronimo's music is generally pop, but she has also incorporated R&B and EDM into her material.[135] Geronimo has drawn comparisons to Beyoncé for her stage presence and live performances, frequently performing her songs.[184] Initially, Geronimo primarily recorded sentimental ballads,[34] and is renowned for her vocal range and belting technique, the latter of which was popularized and highly influenced by Regine Velasquez. Nestor Torre Jr. of the Philippine Daily Inquirer said of the comparison: "[Velasquez]'s belting became so popular that her successor, Sarah Geronimo, imitated her..."[185] Producer Christian De Walden said of Geronimo's voice: "The personality of her voice is phenomenally distinct. ... People who really know music can tell [her] voice is her own."[34] For Taking Flight, Gil praised Geronimo for "toning down the birit [belting] and bringing out her own style".[40] According to the Philippine Daily Inquirer's Allan Policarpio, "The [early] years saw [Geronimo] dialing down her vocals and veering away from the [belting]-style singing that proved to be harmful to her instrument. But just because she doesn’t do it as much doesn’t mean she can’t handle big diva songs anymore."[135]

Later in her career, Geronimo ventured into "catchy, upbeat modern pop [tracks]", primarily influenced by R&B and EDM.[113][135] Critics were appreciative of her transition to "upbeat" and "mid-tempo" tracks, and regarded it as a bold reinvention of her artistry.[e] She explored themes of love and relationship on "Cuore".[163] On "Sandata", Geronimo delved into the themes of mental and psychological challenges, and empowerment.[186][187][181] Regarding her songwriting for the track "Make Me Yours", Geronimo said that it was her dream to compose her own song. At the suggestion of Vic del Rosario, she wrote the lyrics for the track, while Louie Ocampo composed the song's melody.[188]

Public image and impact

[edit]

"When I won [Star For A Night] back in 2003 ... [m]y manager made sure that I would be a multimedia artist, so I was doing everything at the same time — movies, concerts, commercials ... [and] hosting ... It feels great because you have this apparent sense of freedom ... now that you’re free, now that you have all this time [and space] to grow."

Geronimo has been regarded as one of the most accomplished entertainers of her generation.[190][191] Media publications have referred her as the country's "Popstar Royalty",[f] and classified her as a triple threat entertainer.[g] A critic from ABS-CBN News wrote that she "prove[d] that every singer, to be considered successful, can hit the high notes in any song."[197] The Philippine Star's Patricia Esteves wrote, "That Sarah chose her own songs worked to her advantage because she was able to deliver heartfelt, soulful renditions. Because every song is meaningful and personal to her, Sarah was able to connect with the audience and display the right emotion."[95] Allan Policarpio wrote: "[Geronimo] revisited some of the songs she used to sing when she was starting out ... But [later on, she] sang [them] with none of the affectations she used to put on."[135]

According to Billboard Philippines, "[Geronimo] is a multi-talented artist who is able to successfully cross both the music and movie industries having starred in top-grossing movies and popular television shows all the while maintaining a stellar music career ... She also serves as an inspiration to many aspiring young artists and actively participates in helping shape the next generation of Filipino talents."[198] Jason Dy has stated Geronimo promoted the value of hardwork and craft[199] while Morisette said that she was likened or compared to Geronimo in terms of her voice.[200] Darren Espanto credited Geronimo for learning about "sing[ing] from the heart".[201] Other entertainers who cited Geronimo as an influence or inspiration include Charice Pempengco[202] and Maymay Entrata.[203] Singer Regine Velasquez, whom she cited as a major influence, declared that Geronimo is the "queen of [the entertainment] industry".[165] Though reluctant to discuss about her personal life,[162] she said of her image: "It’s a bit hard although I’d like to become a role model. I rather take it as a big challenge because it is probably my purpose being here in this [professional] industry."[190] Her early life and breakthrough were dramatized in an episode of the drama anthology series Magpakailanman, where she was played by the singer-actress Kyla.[204][205]

In December 2009, Geronimo received a star on the Philippines' Walk of Fame.[206] In 2014, she was named Yes! magazine's Most Beautiful Star.[207] Forbes Asia listed her among the 100 Digital Stars in 2020.[208][209] In 2013, she was honored as an ambassador for music by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA).[210] In 2021, Tatler named her as one of the most influential people in Asia,[211] and was also recognized as one of Asia's Leaders of Tomorrow in the publication's annual Gen T list.[212]

Other activities

[edit]

Geronimo is a co-founder of G Productions, a production company that produces concerts and shows.[213] The formation of the company was conceived by her husband Matteo Guidicelli during the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, where they were filming music videos at home.[214] In 2023, the two opened G Studios in Alabang, Muntinlupa; it is described as a mixed-use building that "[would] cater to all advertising, media, and event needs".[215] Geronimo said of her venture into business: "It started during the pandemic, [because our] materials ... we were doing it on our own."[216] She also donated proceeds for her Perfect 10 concert in 2013 to the victims of Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda),[93][217] which is one of the deadliest typhoons recorded in the Philippines.[h] Geronimo has also been a spokesperson for various brands, including Jollibee,[223] TNT,[224] Shopee,[225] Banco de Oro (BDO),[226] and Sun Life Financial.[193]
