Background

"Metamorphosis means change and transformation, and that's what this album is all about. Metamorphosis doesn't really take out who you really are, but it changes you for the better,It's about not being afraid of who you can be. And that best describes my new album that carries my new sound, and the new Yeng.""

—Yeng, on the album's change and transformation.

After the success of her first three studio albums Salamat (2007), Journey (2008), Lapit (2009) and her first compilation live album Yeng Versions Live , Constantino returned to the music scene with her latest album. The 10-track album represent the evolution of Constanino's music.

Just like what “metamorphosis” means, Yeng will reportedly have a new look and style in this new album, which starts with the flame red hair. Although determined to stand out and create an impact, Yeng confessed that she was initially concerned whether or not her fans are ready to listen to her new music. "At first, I was worried if my supporters are ready for this change. But I thought it's good because I'm giving them something new. And personally, I also want to challenge myself to do things that will excite me," Yeng related. [2]
