Cindy-Louise releases her emotive effort: Monster

Independent author Cindy-Louise is causing a huge stir in the international music scene, largely due to her distinctive and innovative writing style. The South African-born singer, only launched her music career in 2019, but has already been highlighted in a few high profile South African platforms, such as Huisgenoot magazine and News24.

She has also been mentioned and had some airtime on one of South Africa’s biggest radio stations, Jacaranda FM. Her 2021 debut album Humanity was recorded in the Netherlands and has received a plethora of positive reviews.

Her song “Just Relax” now has over 30,000 Spotify listens, while “Make it Out Here Alive” has over well over 100,000 views on YouTube. Cindy-Louise is most recognised for her innovative indie pop and progressive rock music aesthetics, and for her distinctive singing style and tone.

Her most recent single, “Monster”, has a profound emotional and personal message that was tough for her to communicate, but music frees her soul and sheds light on sometimes necessary social concerns. She began by writing the chorus and really enjoyed the R&B feel it had and, despite not being completely confident about the verse lyrics at first.

The artist’s self-critical ideas about herself served as motivation for the song. “We are all insecure, and while this is natural, our insecurities are what constantly hold us back and make us weak”, she explains. It’s a deeply moving and emotive piece of music, so it comes as no surprise that such an accomplished finished article took Cindy-Louise 18 months to perfect.
