As of August 2015, the album has sold 15,000+ units and is now a certified Platinum.




Recording


For Darren, Espanto worked with local and international producers and most respected composers. The album features the carrier single “In Love Ako sa ’Yo,” (I'm in Love with You) a Vehnee Saturno composition. The latter contributed three more selections to the album – “My Girl,” “Ewan Ko,” (I Don't Know) and “Ah! Basta Gusto Kita.” (Whatever! That's Why I Like You)
Another local composer Kennard Faraon wrote “Stuck” for the album. The rest of the tracks in “Darren” were penned by foreign composers – Keith Martin and Deon Hairston for “You Are the Only One,” Adrian Rezza, Lucas Rezza and Carvin Winans for “I Believe in Me,” and Fil-Am Brad Go for “Makin’ Moves.” A bonus track in the album is the studio version of Jessie J's “Domino”, which Darren performed during The Voice Kids Philippines’ blind audition
