Xian excitedly shared this news in an exclusive interview with <a href='http://Push.com.ph'>Push.com.ph</a> at the victory party of Bride for Rent, which has raked in P300 million.</div><div><br/></div><div>According to Xian, his next album will probably be out by the end of this month while he waits for his project lineup for 2014. “More on originals<i> rin ‘yung </i>album itself so <i>dapat nilang abangan. Meron rin sa akin na</i> I wrote [on] my own<i> rin, meron ring ‘yung iba-ibang </i>composers <i>na nagbigay rin </i>for this one,” he shared. Xian said that his album has no title yet.</div><div><br/></div><div>As to the sort of songs that his fans can expect from the album, Xian said there would be ballads and an exciting addition would be a little rock.</div><div><br/></div><div>The 24-year-old Kapamilya actor released his first album titled<i> So It’s You</i> under Star Records in 2012 with five songs, including its carrier single “<i>So It's You,</i>” “<i>Reaching Out,” “Oh Babe,” “Puso Kong Hibang</i>,” and a song from his first soap together with Kim Chiu, <i>My Binondo Girl </i>titled, “<i>Ako'y Sa 'yo Lamang.</i>”</div><div><br/></div><div>He has also released a number of singles in 2012. Among them were a song from <i>Aryana</i>,<i> “Iibigin Kita”</i> and a few songs which got included on the soundtrack of Ina Kapatid Anak, his second soap with Kim, titled “<i>Kung Di Sa 'Iyo at Alay Ko Sa ‘yo.”</i></div><div><br/></div><div>While their victory party was meant to celebrate the box office success of their second film together, it was Xian who broached the subject that he and Kim would be doing separate projects for now. During the recently-concluded Kapamilya trade event, Kim was introduced as part of a new teleserye titled<i> Ikaw Lamang</i> opposite Coco Martin together with Julia Montes and Jake Cuenca.</div><div><br/></div><div>Although visibly sad about this minor change in the KimXi onscreen tandem, Xian underscored that “It’s management’s decision e<i>h,</i> we really don’t have control over that.”</div><div><br/></div><div>But despite the sad news, Star Cinema’s executive Malou Santos announced during the event that the two would be shooting their third film together by the third quarter of the year, news that surprised both Kim and Xian. <i>“Siyempre</i> thank you <i>‘wag silang bibitiw kasi meron pa. Sa lahat po ng sumuporta, mararaming maraming salamat po. Mahal na mahal po namin kayo</i> and <i>‘wag po kayong bibitiw marami pa po ‘yan,</i>” Xian said.</div><div><br/></div></div>
