Cynthia Erivo feels a “half project” in ‘Replay’

Cynthia Erito is logically news for its stellar appearance at the Oscars. The artist, nominated for best actress for ‘Wicked’ (has lost against Mikey Madison for ‘Anora’), opened the ceremony playing a potpourri with Ariana Grande. If this was in charge of ‘Over The Rainbow’, Cynthia sang ‘Home’ and finally both faced the hit ‘defying gravity’.

But in addition, Erivo has taken advantage of these days to launch, in a very skillful way, a single single. The artist had published in 2021 an album called ‘CH. 1 vs. 1 ‘. In him there were soul pop pieces like ‘The Good’ and ballads like ‘I Might Be in Love With You’. Now, after the success of ‘Wicked’ and especially the song ‘Defying Gravity’ with Ariana Grande, publishes an advance that will be his second solo album.

‘Replay’ aims to be “another trip in his life.” She herself warns: “During the next months you are going to see pieces of my heart, which will be an honor to share.”

With a more tragic Morrissey melody or even close to The Great Hit of The La’s, ‘There She Goes’, ‘Replay’ opts rather for a playful production with the voices in the manner of Ibeyi or Laura Mvula.

With a Western’s own whistle and a constant «pa-doo-boop-pa-pa» in the background that even ‘Dinner’ of Suzanne Vega, the lyrics speak of how our mind can be our worst enemy: «I am a half project, I cannot keep my fears at bay / my mind is like an album in“ self-reply »”.

The theme, which has a Credit of the Hits Justin Tranter, who has worked with Britney, Dua Lipa or Lady Gaga, devoid between being precisely a “medium project” or something to listen to “in Auto-Replay.” A “you love or hate it” that will end up being defined within the context that will be Cynthia Erivo.
