London’s newest rising star CICERO has arrived to shake up the scene with her unique sound that fearlessly defies genre boundaries and delivers a heady dose of sonic magic. Offering up a perfectly polished mix of her own trailblazing brand of ‘house trap’, CICERO creates a hybrid of hip-hop, garage and alternative R&B that really cuts through the noise.
Following on from her 2020 debut ‘Make It Through The Night’, CICERO has returned with her first stunning EP ‘Ultraviolet’, comprising five outstanding tracks that each carry their own individual flair, as CICERO creates a listening experience that is both unforgettable and dopamine boosting. CICERO’s expertly crafted style carries an earnestness comparable to SZA, an alluring and sultry brit-style vocal tone that nods to Jorja Smith, and a flurry of intoxicating and sharp melodies that draw parallels to the sounds of Katy B. CICERO’s fresh edge marks the start of something big.
Discussing the meaning behind her brand new project, CICERO said: “‘Ultraviolet’ was birthed during a time in which I was finding myself. I was coming out of a really dark space, where I was refusing to look at things in life for what they really were. I suffered some major losses in my life and was using other things to ease my pain which were harming me more than helping. The only positive out of the pain was writing, something I had done for many years. Writing and creating melodies created a safe haven for me in many ways. Writing ‘Ultraviolet’ brought my emotions to the surface from depression to falling in love, and one of the most important things I realised was that I needed to trust myself again. Dreaming of UV lights is about the truth coming to light and trusting your intuition. I named the project Ultraviolet because the real CICERO was coming to light as I was following my intuition again and finding myself on the right path.”
West London born singer-songwriter CICERO takes you on a journey through life’s ups and downs with captivating lyrics and hypnotic melodies as well as an uncompromising soulful sound. The term ‘juxtaposition’ springs to mind when describing CICERO’s sound, as she unites euphoric, hard hitting beats with raw and profound lyrics that prompt you to muse whilst wanting to get up and dance. CICERO’s stand-out niche is worthy of the world’s attention, and the young talent is already full speed ahead in making her mark on the industry.
‘Ultraviolet’ is available now via all major platforms.
