Chicago’s very own Dahshanae is making a powerful return with her latest single, Void. A remarkable neo-soul vocalist, singer, and songwriter, Dahshanae seamlessly fuses hip-hop elements into her music, creating a unique sonic signature that stands out in today’s R&B and soul landscape.
With Void, she delivers an emotionally rich and deeply personal track that explores themes of love, loss, self-awareness, and healing. From the very first note, Void envelops listeners in a captivating harmony of layered vocals that build toward the first verse. The song’s minimalistic yet mesmerizing rhythms create the perfect foundation for Dahshanae’s exquisite vocal delivery—dynamic, expressive, and emotionally charged.
She masterfully navigates the haunting yet refined vibe of the track, demonstrating an innate sense of melody and an exceptional command of vocal nuance. Her voice carries a delicate yet potent presence, effortlessly drawing the listener into the depths of her storytelling.

Inspired by personal experiences, Void serves as a cathartic reflection on heartbreak and growth. The song was born from a challenging moment in Dahshanae’s past. Rather than dwelling in bitterness, Void presents a journey of understanding, acceptance, and ultimately, self-empowerment. It is a strong statement about the idea that people have the freedom to love—or not love—and that healing comes from embracing one’s worth beyond another’s choices.
The music video for Void enhances the song’s emotional weight with striking cinematography and compelling storytelling. Directed by Dahshanae herself in collaboration with Chekthecredits and Tazzie H, the video visually echoes the song’s themes of introspection and acceptance. A key influence for the video was the film Malcolm & Marie, particularly the scene where Malcolm exudes an air of arrogance while eating a meal prepared by Marie. This inspiration translates seamlessly into Void, adding depth to the visual representation of detachment and self-realization. Featuring guest appearances by Steven and Tazzie H, the video brings the story to life in an almost hypnotic manner, immersing viewers in its raw and intimate narrative.

As she prepares for more releases, this single stands as a compelling reintroduction to an artist whose talent, emotional depth, and storytelling prowess make her an undeniable force in the neo-soul scene. With Void, Dahshanae reminds us of the beauty in letting go, embracing solitude, and moving forward with wisdom and grace. This song is an anthem of self-empowerment, wrapped in a mesmerizing soundscape that lingers in the soul long after the music stops.
