The Pulse of Entertainment: Billboard Chart-Topping Shyra Sanchez Releases New Single
The Californer/10362166

LOS ANGELES - Californer -- "I wanted to do something different for my first video with Travis Pain for Operator' (her breakout video with Travis directing and choreographing). He worked on Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson's 'Scream', and with Whitney Houston ("I'm Every Woman")," said Billboard chart-topping Shyra Sanchez about the music video to her current single "Sky is Falling" (Super Shy Entertainment)…". "I wanted fun on the beach!"

The "Sky is Falling" single is written and produced by Shyra with music producer Benjamin Franklin co-producing.

"I was working with my producer Ben Franklin, and I wanted something different multi-cultural with dancing," Sanchez said when I asked how the "Sky is Falling" single came to be. "He came up with the track…I came up with the melody, and the words just came."

Shyra said the single is about when loving someone brings feelings of uncertainty. I asked because I thought the title was a play on the title of the James Bond soundtrack song "SkyFall".

The single sounds like it belongs on a soundtrack, so I asked if she was open to writing and producing songs for other artists and she said, "Of course! I want to be a songwriter that's known. We have three songs on movie soundtracks now; John Singleton's Obduction soundtrack is one and one coming up I can't tell you about!"

I told Shyra she is just full of surprises.

She said, "Yes! I am! Big stuff is coming up in 2027!"
