This summer, Sansette is here to take you to ‘Sunny Cebu’! This lovely song portrays a picturesque and inviting description of Cebu, emphasizing its natural beauty, pleasant weather, and the unique combination of mountains, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant city life. The track aims to evoke a mood of positivity, joy, and relaxation in the listener. The imagery painted in the lyrics is one of a tranquil and beautiful environment in Cebu. The song’s upbeat tempo, featuring acoustic instruments and incorporating wind instruments like light saxophones, creates a lively and relaxed atmosphere that perfectly aligns with the inviting imagery of Cebu. The harmonious arrangements and clear production values contribute to a smooth and enjoyable listening experience. Together, these elements work in harmony to desire a carefree experience, reinforcing the invitation for listeners to envision themselves in the delightful setting of ‘Sunny Cebu’.

Formed in 2019, the indie-pop band Sansette has been making a rather “sunny” impression on audiences in the Metro Manila music scene. Consisting of all born-and-raised-in-Cebu members Gabrielle Villacarlos on vocals, Michael Villacarlos on keys, Peter Cambonga on the saxophone, Cris Ong on bass, Jarren Narciso on drums, Adrian Labra and Leonard Cadurnigara on guitars, their music undoubtedly mirrors the nonchalant and serene vibe of their hometown. 

Their debut single “Sunburn” was released last 2019 as an ode to a summer fling–an upbeat yet melancholic rendition about realizing that what they have only thrived during the summer’s heat, nothing more, nothing less. Their debut was then followed by a collaboration featuring Ysa Ferráz on a track entitled “Mumble” in 2021, and a couple more singles after that.

Sunny Cebu by Sansette is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide. Also available by request on V81 Radio’s mobile app.
