‘Sexy Babe’ Cianne plays waiting game in debut single ‘Traffic’
“It’s Showtime” host Cianne Dominguez is taking on a new path as a recording artist with her first single “Traffic” released under StarPop, and now available on various digital streaming platforms.
The former “Sexy Babe” contestant explores ‘situationships’ or relationships without any label in the song and conveys the restlessness in waiting similar to the tedious feels of being stuck in traffic. It was written and produced by her “It’s Showtime” co-host and Rocksteddy lead vocalist Teddy Corpuz.
“Sa interpretation ko sa song nakikita ko yung situationship lalo na nauuso ito ngayon. Nasa isang situationship ka na walang usad, walang nangyayari. Naiinip na sa kakahintay ng label sa kung anong meron kayo,” Cianne said.
She also expressed her gratitude to Teddy who helped her in bringing out the emotions of the song. “Sobrang smooth and chill ng jamming namin ni Kuya Teddy. Super happy rin ako kasi ako yung naisip niyang kumanta ng song niya and at the same time super thankful din kasi nabigyan ako ng ganitong opportunity,” Cianne shared.
As a kid, the up-and-coming artist dreamt of becoming a singer and even auditioned for “Tawag ng Tanghalan” and other singing competitions.
“Noong bata palang ako hilig ko na talaga sumali sa singing contests and lagi ako and yung family ko kumakanta sa church. Nag-try rin ako sumali sa ‘Tawag ng Tanghalan’ before kasi gusto ko talaga mag-pursue ng singing lalo na pangarap ko rin makasama sa mga play,” she said.
Aside from her singing talent, she has also showcased her dancing and comedy chops through other popular segments of “It’s Showtime” such as “Girl On Fire” and “Isip Bata.” Some of her musical influences are Idina
Menzel and Lea Salonga.
