Cecily has just released her new single titled “A Flower In Winter“, where Cecily’s velvety vocals intertwine with lush instrumentals, creating a tapestry of sound that is both soothing and soul-stirring.
The song’s lyrics, inspired by the teachings of bell hooks and the collective experience of the pandemic, speak to the power of love to heal and renew even in the bleakest of times. It’s a reminder that amidst life’s trials and tribulations, there is always the promise of spring—a metaphorical oasis of warmth and growth in the midst of winter’s chill.
With influences ranging from jazz to soul, Cecily’s music resonates with a timeless quality, drawing listeners into a world where vulnerability meets resilience and love becomes a guiding force.
But Cecily’s artistry extends beyond her music; it’s rooted in a profound sense of purpose and authenticity. Raised in Washington DC, a city synonymous with politics, Cecily initially pursued a career in public service before following her passion for music.
Her journey, marked by moments of disillusionment and self-discovery, has led her to embrace vulnerability as a strength and love as a guiding principle in both her life and her art.
As she prepares to release her upcoming project, Awakening Pt. 2, Cecily continues to delve into the depths of the human experience, exploring themes of unconditional love and personal transformation. Collaborating with esteemed musicians such as Allyn Johnson and Drew Kid, Cecily crafts a sonic landscape that is as rich and diverse as the emotions it evokes.
With accolades including Wammie Awards and recognition from Bandcamp, Cecily’s impact on the music scene is undeniable. From performing at renowned venues like Blues Alley to sharing the stage with icons like Gregory Porter and Maysa, she has established herself as a force to be reckoned with in the world of jazz and soul.
As “A Flower In Winter” blooms into the hearts of listeners, Cecily invites us to join her on a journey of self-discovery and renewal.
