(P.S. It would have been even better if Darius had recorded and performed it himself!! :D )

 

Thanks for the information PIP AND PM. I presume this is the song that Darius wrote.

Has it been released here?

THanks for the info, Preston.

 

The guy's name is Marcos Hernandez. The Way I Do is a track on his current album and I'm almost sure it was released as a single in the States.

The promo was sent to the radio stations and didn't take off so a video was never made and it wasn't released :(

 

I love the lyrics...wish it was Darius singing it

Now I find that strange that it should have been sent to radio stations but didnt take off, wonder if it suffered the fate that live twice did from the radio stations, especially as it made no.1 in south africa.

Marcos Hernandez was born in Phoenix, Arizona in 1982 and raised in Dallas, Texas. He is a Mexican American pop singer whose debut single, If You Were Mine, was released in August 2005. The single got a good amount of airplay on Pop and Rhythmic stations and slowly crept up to the Top 25 on Top 40 radio. The video for the single was shot in Echo Park, CA. Hernandez had previously been a member of the band Sons Of Harmony, and was discovered by Vanilla Ice manager Tommy Quon.

 

His album C About Me was originally independently released on Ultrax Records, yet once If You Were Mine began taking off at radio, he signed a new deal with TVT Records with plans to retool the album. The album was eventually re-released on October 25th, 2005 with a different album cover (a more photogenic, pop-looking shot), along with a couple of newly-recorded tracks ("Get Personal", "Lovely Girl", "Bitter Sweet", "The Way I Do" and "Call Me"). Since new tracks were added, a couple of songs on the original version of his debut album were omitted: ("Breaking All The Rules", "That Thing You Do", "So Sexy", "Come On Over Baby", "Summertime 4Play", "Matta No Mo" and "Mission For A Dream").

 

Following the success of If You Were Mine, TVT had planned to release If I'd Known (featuring NB Ridaz), which was sent to radio. However, the track failed to take off and The Way I Do became Marcos' official second single. Promotional CDs were sent out, and the song went for adds to radio. Once again, no success at radio (and no video was shot) but the album's promotion didn't stop there.

 

In June 2006 he travelled to South Africa and was interviewed on East Coast Radio and a third single, Call Me was released to radio in July 2006. Meanwhile, a video for Bitter Sweet was shot while his stay in South Africa.

interesting, wonder where that is charting, as I have only noticed The way I do in the charts we have seen

Marcos Hernandez did sing The Way I Do at the concerts in SA.

 

Perhaps some of the charts that it registered on were charts based on airplay, video play and sales like e.g. Hit40UK, which would mean if it wasn't on physical release, it must have had plenty of plays: either way it's still "kerching" for D. :D

yay, that is great news, it is such a good song too.plus the "Ker..ching" is great too

and its lovely listening to it on Marco's myspace page
