CILIA<\/strong>“CILIA is love, CILIA is heartbreak, CILIA is strong opinions disguised in poetry”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CILIA, soon to release his first single, is a city-based artist influenced by international music, whose audiences will enjoy the beat-based r&b\/pop music. The songs are warmed up with poetry and light layers of stemming, and there’s always something identifiable in the lyrics. So there’s both crying and laughing to be had. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Summer Study Concert, the backing tapes are forgotten and an expanded 10-piece line-up takes to the stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
