"Her celestial vocal register and authentic lyrics place her in a lane that few can occupy." — Soulbounce
DC-based vocalist and songwriter Cecily, (pronounced ses-suh-lee), is known for her agile soprano and honest lyrics. Her sound, as soothing as it is rich, is rooted in a deep appreciation for mid-century soul and jazz, 90’s R&B, and re-imagined folk music.
“I Am Love,” released in October 2023, is the first single from Awakening Pt.II, Cecily’s eagerly anticipated continuation of the critically acclaimed Awakening Pt. 1. The album interweaves Cecily's life experiences with inspiration from the book All About Love by Black feminist writer bell hooks. The single specifically focuses on the importance of affirmations, as discussed in the text, with the heart – and title – from the track rooted in the power of reminding yourself: “I Am Love.”
