Cindë’s return to the music scene packs a powerful punch telling her side of the story of betrayal, anger, and hurt.
“VICTIM!” mirrors Cindë’s emotions as she processes her feelings caused by her cheating boyfriend, whom she gave up pursuing music to take care of when he was diagnosed with cancer. The main theme of infidelity is traced throughout the deep lyrics and displays how her reality was shattered. Her lyrics tell her cognitive dissonance while the instrumentation that blends emo, pop-punk, and industrial elements amply shows Achile’s rage. Her tale and joint project with Northside Hollow epitomize resilience and transformation, turning “VICTIM!” into an anthem of surviving extreme betrayal.
In her official visualizer, she explores the insanity she feels about this whole situation. This cognitive dissonance is something that would drive someone to their breaking point and in this visualizer we see Cindë fighting against the straightjacket that binds her from lashing out and going berserk. The red jump cuts mirror the different phases of rage that can take over the vision when dealing with anger, paired with the up-close angels of Cindë’s facial expression that lead the viewer to squirm in the instability of the mind.
Listeners are now anxiously awaiting the rest of her upcoming EP, More Awake Less Alive, which dives into the introspection and struggles of sorrow and recovery.
Fans can experience “VICTIM!” across all digital platforms and follow Cindë’s website, iamcinde.com, and Instagram @iamcinde.
