Quotes about original music
"On her engrossing and powerful new single ‘Never Felt That’, UK artist Official Shannon continues to showcase her powerful vocals and immersive songwriting, singling herself as the special talent and uniquely captivating artist that so many people have her penned as. The track has an emotional and searching tone to it throughout, laid-back in its tone but with a rising sense of atmospheric tension that builds and swells throughout, owing a lot to the show-stopping capabilities of the artist’s incredible vocals. If you need a cry or a chance to reflect on a situation and need something to resonate with then this track offers a tonne of heart and emotion throughout, packed full of relatable charm and Official Shannon’s all-encompassing, charismatic presence."

"Never Felt That’ is a heartfelt track with emotional lyrics that are given life by the beautiful and stirring vocals of Official Shannon. The verses of the song flow perfectly alongside the wonderful instrumental melodies and the harmonies are simply outstanding." By Boulent Mustafa, MUSIC CROWNS
"Official Shannon is a London-based alternative pop artist who has caught my attention through her empowering new anthem. It’s called Dress To Please. In Dress To Please, pop merges with funk and soul to create something that feels both classic and modern. Shannon’s vocals are the star of the show – passionate, powerful and charismatic. The lyrical message is a simple but important one: dress how you want and don’t worry about the comments, cat-calling and harassment it might provoke. We can all take note. Shannon has been releasing music since 2020 and very early on caught the attention of BBC Radio Essex. It’s easy to see why with such strong song-writing and assured performance skills. She’s one to watch." By Graeme Smith, York Calling
"Official Shannon has never shied away from telling the truth. Her eagerly-anticipated new single, Dress To Please, is out now and addresses some of the most serious issues women face on a daily basis: cat-calling, sexual harassment, and unnecessary vulgar comments. By speaking out against these issues in such a public way, Shannon is helping to raise awareness and start the conversation about how we can make things better for women everywhere. We applaud her for using her voice to make a difference and encourage others to listen to her song and join the fight against unacceptable behavior." By Louis, Founder of Lefuturewave
"The lyrics advocate for self-care while the instrumentals strip the weight from your shoulders with the blissful tones and compassionate melodies" - A&R Factory
"Make its sound effortless! Shannon displays a rollercoaster of her vocal range. She can really put energy into a performance but tone it back aswell to give an endearing feel to her latest record" - Jake Peach, BBC Music Introducing in Essex.
