mall tours

From January's Fiama (where Dianne produced a charity show - see previous blog entry), Dianne went to the U.S. for a two-week rest and recreation and came back here in time for her January 23 show at Robinson's Galleria, the last of her Robinson Mall tours. She did a Podium show to kick off her SM mall tours.

Robinson Malls are over, now Dianne Elise goes to SM Malls (hmm, with the last CD she had SM first and then Robinson's, but that has no bearing on the subject)... just concluded her mall show at SM North EDSA's Annex, which was attended by many people. She sang some 6 songs and the audience wanted more. But the objective was reached, to promoted her album of course, Committed, with the debut single, "If You're Not the One" and now her second single, "If I Let You Go." Previously, she also had a Valentine show at SM Fairview which they called, "Big Love."

Among the many things that Dianne Elise is busy with, she is now doing a once a week gig every Wednesday at Bela Bar, along P. Guevarra Street near the corner of Wilson Street in San Juan. The owners are family friends. She is also back at Wave 891 for her Vintage Soul 8pm show.

Dianne Elise is also excited that she finished her second music video on the Committed album for the song "If I Let You Go." The vid is expected to be shown any day in April, hopefully after the editing is finished. And oh, summer is here. So I'm sure there are a lot of fun things to do for this lovely lass. And of course, you won't be left out. So, stay tuned. And always, live la vida loca.

Whew, at least I am in time before October ends. So, what's up with the charming singer? She's still gigging Saturdays at Prophets in Mandaluyong (see previous blog) and though, the whole week is free - she's busy finishing up on her sophomore album under MCA. The music video will debut tomorrow night, Saturday, at MYX with behind-the-scenes footage. Dianne Elise hopes that the album release is this month, but there is still no venue.
The carrier single of her new album entitled, Committed, is "If You're Not the One." She fought hard to make this song the flagship. The song is already being played in radios although the CD release is yet to happen. What a marketing marvel these wizards do at MCA.
She is also excited about a new project. She wants to do a charity show in November, as another birthday offering. When she turned 18, instead of a grand debutante's ball, she had a charity concert at her parents' bar, Options in Tomas Morato (closed now) in November of 2003, which featured Noel Cabangon, among others; and she was able to contribute P30,000 to Childhope Asia, an organization which teaches streetchildren from the proceeds of the show (100%). After five years, it's about time she repeats this act of kindness, which Dianne Elise thinks did more for her emotionally and spiritually than the meager amount that helped the street kids in some way.
She will have an hour show with WAVE 89.1, with one of their resident DJs to interview her about this latest CD and do the radio tours anytime soon. By November, she will be back at WAVE 89.1 with her Vintage Soul program. Watch out also for the mall tours which of course, I will be posting.
I gathered some pics here for your perusal. So, ta-ta for now. Catch up with you later.
