Sa Handum Na Guid Lang: Sheila Barrios’ Valentine Voice

Longings for true love is back today, February 11, 2011, two days before Valentine’s Day as Ilonggo pop songstress, Sheila Barrios’ much-awaited second Ilonggo single “Sa Handum Na Guid Lang” (Only in my Dream) officially premiered exclusively at Campus Radio Iloilo 93.5. The song with original beat owned by Diane Warren and has a heart-piercing lyrics was personally written by Sheila based on her experiences about falling in love for a best friend. This song was her emotional chronicle about young love and first heartbreak that driven this 18-year-old Ilongga to express her feelings through music. Unaware of her natural gift for singing, Sheila passionately performed the vocals and find joy finishing this song last year. In fact, the song was earlier released in Bacolod City last November 2010 in selected FM stations that quickly climbed in the local FM music charts and won the hearts of Bacolod radio-listeners.

Sheila started as a shy but talented girl with a big voice under the independent management team of Iloilo-based RSLPhoenix Music. Sheila first released her song “Ginpalangga,” (Loved) last May 2010. The song captured the interest of radio listeners and was heavily promoted by Campus Radio Iloilo 93.5. It also reached the shore of Bacolod City and became a radio-favorite Ilonggo song along with the current interest for Ilonggo music. RSLPhoenix produced an indie-mini-film music video of the song and was posted in youtube.com in July 2010 which was considered by its creative team as so far the first independent music video produced for an Iloilo-based female singer. Born in a family of singers, Sheila was also picked to become a member of Ilonggo 3nity composed of budding Ilonggo hitmakers, RnB sensation Reyn Callao and Cherry Callao. Their group song “Badtrip” and Sheila’s “Sa Handum Na Guid Lang” both premiered at Radio For You 93.5 FM in Rockhampton City, Queensland, Australia last November 2010. Their songs are played every Sunday for a Filipino blocktime program and were the first Ilonggo songs that were heard there just to entertain Filipino radio listeners.

Doing what she love to do for music, Sheila is now working and recording original tracks for her first independent solo album to be entitled “Ginpalangga” that will have its release this 2011. She is enjoying her collaboration with several budding independent Ilonggo artists such as Zpinx Angel of Mix Ilonggo Crew, Stan of All Out Kingz, Bacolod-based rapper Zaril of Filomena Crew, Vhouying King and Eazzy of SYK Unit and a lot more artists to complete her solo album. Patience is a virtue for Sheila. She is taking one step at a time.

But with the premiere of her new song “Sa Handum Na Guid Lang” over Campus Radio Iloilo today, Sheila is even more inspired to touch and reawaken the longings for true love this Valentine’s Day. After all, her friends always believe that she can melt other people’s heart with her simple yet soulful voice.
