In 2010, Albert released "Songs of the Heart", made up of original Filipino compositions carefully chosen by producer Eugene Villaluz for Viva Records. Viva scheduled several other shows, including Regine Velasquez’s "Most Requested", "Ladies of the ’90s" ( Rachel Alejandro, Jessa Zaragoza, Roselle Nava and Geneva Cruz), "Men of the ’80s" ( Raymond Lauchengco, Randy Santiago, Louie Heredia and Gino Padilla) and one topbilling Rachelle Ann Go and Jed Madela.

In 2009, Albert and Basil Valdez were headline performers in "Incomparable", as part of a series of concerts organized by Viva Concerts & Events featuring iconic Original Pilipino Music (OPM) artists at the Skydome in SM City North EDSA ( Quezon City). Albert's new version re-introduced her body of works to a new generation of Filipinos. In 2007, Albert recorded a new version of "Tell Me" as theme song of Star Cinema's "A Love Story", a romance-drama about infidelity starring Filipino actors Aga Muhlach, Maricel Soriano and Angelica Panganiban. įrom 1991 to 1994, Albert became the host and executive producer of Bahay Kalinga, an award-winning public service outreach program at ABS-CBN. At the 1990 Awit Awards telecast, she received twin nominations as Best Female Vocalist of the Year for "Only a mem'ry" and "Iisa pa lamang". Her first album for the company, entitled Joey Albert, included commercial and artistic hits "Only a mem'ry" and "Roses in the rain", "How can I make you see", "Paano Sasabihin", "Sa akong pagbabalik", and "Iisa pa lamang". Other hits included Jose Mari Chan's "I remember the boy" (recorded November 1985), Louie Ocampo and Jim Millbower's "Without you" (recorded November 1986), Louie Ocampo and Joey Albert's "Ikaw lang ang mamahalin" (recorded November 1986), Ray-Ann Fuentes's "Porma ng porma" (recorded September 1988), Tony Perez and Allan Ayque's "Back in my arms" (recorded September 1988), Louie Ocampo, Joey Albert and Janice de Belen's "It's over now" (recorded November 1985), Louie Ocampo and Joey Albert's "You threw it all away" (recorded November 1986) and Sunny Ilacad and Joey Albert's "Na sabihin mo" (recorded November 1985).

These albums produced many hits, including Louie Ocampo– Freddie Santos collaborations like "Memories" (recorded January 1984), "Points of View" (duet with Pops Fernandez, recorded January 1984) and "Yakapin mo ako" (recorded November 1985).

Albert completed five more albums for OctoArts International: Touch of Love (1984), Expressions (1985), Joey (1986), Maligayang Pasko (1987) and Mixed Emotions (1988). "Say You're Mine", on the other hand, foreshadowed the acoustic trend in the Philippines. Apart from "Over and Over" and "Tell Me", Albert's first album ( Joey Albert) produced another hit, Robert More's "A Million Miles Away". "Tell Me" established Albert as a major Filipino musical artist. Subsequently, Albert received the Best Female Vocalist trophy during the 1985 Cecil Awards, the Philippine music industry awards during the 1980s. Albert is also the first Filipino artist to record on CD. OctoArts International released Louie Ocampo and Allan Ayque's "Tell Me", for which she received a Gold Record Award from the Philippine Association of the Recording Industry (PARI). Her first single, Gerry Paraiso's "Over and Over" (recorded January 1984), enjoyed tremendous airplay in local and national radio stations. As a solo performer, Albert signed up initially with OctoArts International (now PolyEast Records) in 1984.
