Cybèle releases new single “In Another Life”

At just 22, Cybèle has already earned a reputation as one of the most exciting new voices in pop music. A French-Chinese-American singer-songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist, she channels a unique blend of cinematic pop, soul and disco into songs that feel as much like soundtracks as they do standalone hits. Raised between Paris, Beijing and Los Angeles, her music carries the drama and elegance of a film score, paired with the intimacy of personal storytelling.

A graduate of Harvard and currently a master’s candidate at Berklee College of Music, Cybèle has been performing on global stages since she was young. While living in China, she sang a solo on one of the world’s most-watched television programs, while in the USA she’s taken on some of music’s most iconic venues, from The Apollo Theater to The Mint LA, MSG Summer Session, Staples Center and the Clive Davis Theater. Her performances have reached audiences that include Motown founder Berry Gordy and her artistic output has been recognised with the Shining Star Award from Earth, Wind & Fire’s Larry Dunn.

Her voice has also extended far beyond the stage; commissioned by organisations such as the American Cancer Society and Stanford University, and featured in global campaigns for Prada Beauty, the Super Bowl and DreamWorks, Cybèle has brought her vision to diverse and international audiences. With more than 175,000 followers and millions of views online, she’s rapidly becoming a magnet in the pop world and an artist who can balance mass appeal with enduring musical depth.

Cybèle’s upcoming debut album, Paradise, set for release in January next year, promises to confirm her place in the industry. Described as a journey of self-reclamation, creative power and soulful connection, it brings together nine original tracks all written or co-written by her. The project benefits from collaborations with Grammy-winning producers who have worked alongside legends like Chris Brown and Toni Braxton. Musically, it draws from the glamour of James Bond themes, the emotional pull of gospel soul and the sleekness of pop at its finest.

Her latest release, the new single titled “In Another Life,” reveals the more intimate side of her sound. The first ballad from Paradise, it unfurls with warm jazz harmonies, cinematic strings and timeless soul, recounting the tale of a love-at-first-sight connection that feels destined and familiar. Penned during a pivotal break from her studies, the song emerged from a night of looping Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson, when she imagined Michael himself as a muse. As Cybèle explains, “It started as a love song to someone from another lifetime. But it quickly became something deeper. It’s about being seen, soul to soul.”

Formed with delicate piano backing and elegant orchestral element, Cybèle’s stunning vocals float beautifully above to cast a spellbinding slice of dazzling pop music. Building to a spectacular finale driven by the pulse of percussion and overlapping vocal layers, “In Another Life” sees Cybèle serve up an incredible sound that continues to build the hype for her highly anticipated debut record.
