HEAR! HEAR! (or read! read!)


Dianne Elise to unveil latest project



Filipinos first heard Dianne Elise when she revived the Chicago classic "You're the Inspiration." Since then she has come out with more singles including a Chris Cross cover and her own composition. This time she is returning to the music scene to make bigger waves. She just signed with MCA Music, the local arm of the Universal Music Group and the largest recording company worldwide. Dianne is now among the Philippines' most formidable acts, which include Richard Poon, Julianne, Miguel Escueta, Zoo, Pedicab, Chiscosci, Cambio and Side A. She is all set to release her sophomore album this month.

The new album is called Committed and it takes listeners through the roller coaster of love. Promising songs include a string of boy band hits and retro ballads, but the most alluring is the first track, "If You're Not the One." While the Daniel Bedingfield song was too recent to revive for some, Dianne was said to have insisted on doing her own version. The result was the ubiquitous idea to make it the first single off the album.


Award-winning director Milos Curameng took on the challenge of creating the music video for this song. The concept of the shoot had Dianne reaching out to someone that could only be barely seen. For those familiar with the director's works, it would be no surprise that he set the video to a somber tone. But with the song's debatably happy mood, a balance was struck to let the viewers decide how they want to interpret it.


The premiere for the music video "If You're Not the One" is slated to air tonight, October 26, on the Myx Music Channel at 9:00 PM.
Be sure to watch as Dianne Elise unveils the next chapter in her musical journey. She shows she is committed to it in more ways than one.

(if i say where we went, then it won't be a "best-kept secret" upscale restaurant anymore. i'll spill when it's no longer a secret, hehehe...) thank you for being my daughter. thank you for always making me proud. grateful is what i am, to the Lord and to everything you have made me. in my hour of need, you are always there. you teach me how to be brave. you are not only a part of me, you are what defines my being. without you, i am just another empty soul. thank you to my one and only loving daughter, sweet precious dianne!

Hi, Dianne!

I'm writing to tell you I'm enjoying your album, "Committed". I'm not really someone who'd listen to "senti" revivals, it's just that I missed your performance during the Mazda 6 launch and am curious as to how you sound.

I picked up your album, to be honest, I'm really squeamish about the thought of me listening to it. But to my surprise, well, not bad... I really like the last song "How Could You". Who sang the original?

I hope you'd make an all-originals album soon. Why don't you go the singer-songwriter way? It's gonna do you a lotta good.
