Cindë narrates her empowering personal transformation in her new single Villain Origin Story — showcasing today on Tinnitist.
Emerging from the fiery depths of personal evolution, enigmatic and bold multi-instrumentalist Cindë’s latest creation carves a narrative of metamorphosis from anguish to empowerment, chronicling the seismic shift from a betrayed lover to worst nightmare.
The centerpiece of her forthcoming EP More Awake Less Alive, Villain Origin Story heralds a turning point in Cindë’s odyssey. The track encapsulates the catastrophic level of rage born out of grief — painting a vivid picture of an angelic figure’s fall from grace and the resultant birth of a villain. It’s a song that’s as much a personal purging as it is a universal anthem for anyone who’s ever felt transformed by the trials of life. Cindë channels her tempestuous journey through visceral lyrics and the thunderous chords, orchestrating a symphony of raw emotion that’s both haunting and invigorating.
“There was a point where the series of events that transpired and the level of hurt I experienced changed me as a person. I wrote the lyrics using dramatic biblical references combined with a heavy drop-C guitar riff to really drive home the depth and proportion of the rage I felt.” With production helmed by the acclaimed Mike Tompa (Silverstein, The Devil Wears Prada), the song’s intricate layers are expertly mixed by Grammy nominee Phil Hotz (Elton John, Alvvays, Dua Lipa) and brought to full dimension by the mastering of Kristian Montano (Ciara, Alice Glass). This song is poised to become a rallying cry for those who refuse to remain silent in the face of adversity and encourages the listener to rise, and be indomitable and defiant.
Cindë, known for her potent blend of pop-punk, emo, and industrial soundscapes, continues to defy genres and expectations. Her gripping storytelling and electrifying performances have earned her a spot in the vanguard of today’s music scene. Having already made an impression with her initial singles Hittin’ It and Victim!, Cindë is set to further solidify her status as a dynamic presence in the music world.
