Ebe Dancel’s latest single “Huling Unang Sayaw” is a must-heard the fact that the singer-songwriter himself singled it out.
The song is dropped on digital stores today. It’s his third release this year care off Widescope Entertainment where he also works as an A&R manager.
“It took me a while to figure the rest of the song out, but of the three singles I’ve released, this one for me was the most fun to write and record,” emphasized the hitmaker.
The track is a radio-friendly mid-tempo recording produced by Ebe’s celebrity manager Rico Blanco.
The formidable executive and supervising producing combo of Vic De Vera and Neil Gregorio, as always, oversaw this latest cut from their prized artist and workmate, while veteran engineer Angee Rozul took over the mixing and mastering duties.
The track opens with a line that steers the whole thing. Besides, it’s a cool piece of trivia that Ebe literally sprinted to get there.
He shared, “While running one morning, I thought it would be nice to start a song with ‘Isang hakbang patungo sa ating walang hanggan.’”
Among the most established solo acts in the local music scene today, Ebe relied on the chemistry of session musicians to back him up in the instrumentation department. The rhythm section of drummer Luke Sigua and bassist Roger Alcantara proved a steady platform where guitarist John Apura and pianist Gino Cruz stuck their ground. Violinist Chino David provided extra spice to the arrangement he himself concocted at the Bavarian Studio.
The team of Robert Sena and King Puentespinn served as vocal recording engineers.
“Huling Unang Sayaw” comes as a follow-up to a couple of great recordings in their own right that introduced Ebe’s voice with added confidence and renewed hope. His Widescope debut “Manatili” was released last summer while “Tanging Kailangan” was uploaded to popular digital sites last August.
The latest song enjoys Ebe’s strong suit as a lyricist with the chorus promising, “Hahagkan kita sa pangako na kailanman di ka na mag-iisa.”
Ebe’s feet are just warming up as the title suggests. There will be more sweet dancing, especially that the night is young for a beloved songwriting singer who found a home where he can both sing and guide artists, the promising and the made, who all revere him.
