Shanne Dandan: Waiting for her rocket to come

Manila Bulletin

May 6, 2025

Shanne Dandan is one of the best singers of her generation. It’s just that not everybody knows it, at least not yet anyway.

But since her debut, one thing has been certain: her trajectory as an artist is on a constant upward path, so it would be safe to say that a hit is imminent for Shanne Dandan.

The proof is in the singles. A run through of songs starting with her 2018 debut, the art-rock inflected “Nag-lisa” showed that she’s no cookie-cutter act. Which eclectic “Umaga” (2019) and alt-rock flavored “Sandali Lang” (2021) confirmed. Ditto her excellent original “Hanggang Sa Langit” that blended retro-pop sounds with atypical love-song lyrics. Shanne also showed her chanteuse personality with her cover of the classic song “Himig Ng Pag-Ibig” and the recent hit “Pagsamo.” And throughout, her individualistic style shone through.

Imagine this: though petite in stature, Shanne is a vocal powerhouse. Her voice is like an adeptly handled instrument. As her full-length 2024 album "Kung Iyong Mamarapatin" attests, there's little or nothing that Shanne can’t do as a singer.
