Cece Vee releases second single

Cece Vee is a trailblazing South African singer and multi-instrumentalist producing powerfully emotive music that features a unique blend of confessional lyrics underpinned by a refreshing modern pop style.

Her debut single, “Dysfunctional”, is a melancholic yet hopeful track that has been crafted as the perfect vehicle to showcase Cece’s striking vocals. Her novel sound contrasts heart-wrenching verses with immense drops leading into provocative choruses filled with powerful beats, dark ominous bass, reverberated guitar licks, and expertly processed distorted vocal harmonies.

The debut landed Cece a coveted position on the cover of JOOX’s New Pop Hits playlist (Dec 2020), blog coverage, radio playlistings and on-air interviews, Cece Vee is ready to take on the world with her fresh voice, novel sound and alternative pop prowess.

Now the artist is back with new single, “Wild Hearts”, a modern-day anthem for the fiercely free – the soundtrack to a life that is meant to be lived without limitations. Thumping rhythms drive a groove as Cece leads the infectiously catchy vocals.

The single showcases sweet but seductive vocal harmonies that complement voluptuously dirty bass lines and head-bopping beats, alongside electro stabs, funky guitar riffs and uplifting licks. The nostalgic yet modern feel of the track gives a nod to Dua Lipa with ambient verses that contrast beautifully with upbeat, dance-worthy choruses.

Cece shares that Wild Hearts is a song that celebrates the big dreamers and brave adventurers who are fearless and unashamedly authentic – those inspiring pioneers who pursue what brings them joy, aren’t afraid to dream big and won’t allow fear to get in the way of their happiness.

Commenting on the track, she says, “Wild Hearts captures that bracing feeling of escapism that often goes hand in hand with wistful nostalgia. Whether you are present and living through these moments, or looking back at your best times and drawing inspiration and hope from these experiences, there is always a feeling of euphoria that makes you feel hopeful and unstoppable and ushers you into a mental space where you are free and stop worrying about the future.”

Adding, “These memories transport us back to a place of youthfulness where we feel like the world is ours to conquer and we can live forever, with all the time in the world to make your mark.”

Accompanying the track is the music video directed by Joshua Cookson, which follows Cece and a group of vibrant bandmates as they make their way along a dirt road, hitchhiking towards an unknown destination with instruments in hand. As they walk and vehicles pass them by without stopping, you get the feeling that they are fine with it – that to them the journey is as important as the destination and each step taken with their sisters in arms is one to celebrate.

As the legion of fearless femmes continue along their way, they finally encounter a traveller who stops to give them passage – a strong, vital woman who appears as confident and joyous as they are, ready to accompany and guide them on the next leg of their pilgrimage and ensure that their adventure unfolds in the way that it was always meant to.
