Paraiso is the second studio album by young Filipino singing group Smokey Mountain. It was released in the Philippines in 1991 by Sony BMG Music. The album slightly surpassed the commercial success of the group's self-titled debut album, also certifying 8× Platinum by the Philippine Association of the Record Industry (PARI) and selling over 253,800 units in the country. It is considered to be one of the biggest-selling albums in the Philippines, overtaking Smokey Mountain (the album) in terms of sales. The album was released in Japan in 1992 with a different track listing.
Background
Having to choose between formal schooling and a "two-year, two album" contract for release in Europe and the United States, original band members Tony Lambino and Jeffrey Hidalgo left the group, while Geneva Cruz pursued a solo career and released her first solo album "I Like You". The popularity of the group already reached its peak at the time of the departure of the group's three members. Because of this, Ryan Cayabyab—who formed, directed and conducted the group—held auditions to find new members to fill in the void of the three founding members who left the group. Cayabyab, then, reformed the group with remaining original member James Coronel, and three new members Shar Santos, Chedi Vergara, and Jayson Angangan. The second batch of the group were the ones who recorded the second album.
Composition
"Da Coconut Nut" is described as a funny song with a "tropical" mood that Cayabyab wrote for Smokey Mountain, where he allowed himself to have fun, writing the song. The song talks about the benefits of the coconut tree. The title track "Paraiso" is, ironic to its title, about a degrading environment filled with garbage and smog. Because of the commercial and critical success of the first batch's single "Kailan" which was led by Cruz, the second batch recorded a Boy's version of the song and released it as a single.
