"Internet pop artist Cece Natalie has made blingy 2000s-inspired bedroom pop and hypnotic R&B infusions. Her latest track, " Not even lying," is a moody swirl of downtempo piano and whining synth. Its mesmeric hook describes the unsettling feeling of anticipating a betrayal that never comes: "You were supposed to turn evil, but you never did/You were not even lying," she sings through the haze, sounding jaded."
"Her newest songs feel darker and more melancholy, picturing an artist in transition after a recent move to New York City. Cece's star is on the rise: Jane Remover has featured her songs on NTS Radio, and she'll tour with Snow Strippers and Isabella Lovestory this fall. On "Not even lying," the young artist imagines stepping out in the West Village with her bodyguard: a new New York persona now under construction."
Cece Natalie has produced blingy 2000s-inspired bedroom pop and hypnotic R&B infusions, now moving toward darker, more melancholy sounds. The single "Not even lying" features downtempo piano, whining synth, and a mesmeric hook about anticipating betrayal that never arrives. Her May single "So proud" and the new track mark a turning point from the gritty, Auto-Tuned textures of her 2024 debut Miss Behaves toward moodier production. The artist recently moved to New York City and imagines a new West Village persona, while gaining exposure via NTS Radio and upcoming tours with Snow Strippers and Isabella Lovestory.
