Heavy Duty Publishing and In Real Life Music are thrilled to announce the joint publishing signing of producer/songwriter/vocalist extraordinaire: Cecile Believe.
The voice is a powerful medium. Cecile Believe’s is unmistakable. Using her unique voice and production, Cecile Believe searches to connect worlds of pop, sound design and experimental music. A native of British Columbia, Cecile currently resides in Los Angeles. Notable credits and collaborators include Caroline Polachek (“Dang”), Shygirl (“Firefly”), Dorian Electra, Hannah Diamond, TR/ST, Oklou, Empress of, Magdalena Bay, Umru, Ghali, A.G. Cook, and more.
A bedrock of her creative force is the ability to break existing expectations of pop – an idea that stems from deconstructing and rebuilding notions of sound, songwriting and genre. Cecile creates music that is an ever-evolving and inherent rebirth – sparking lush fullness from destruction in a way that represents some of the most beautiful aspects of a life dedicated to artistry itself. And it is this notion of the spark that is the through-line from Cecile’s magnetic pull as a collaborator and into her solo work. On new EP “Tender the Spark,” she builds on her signature post-genre approach, effortlessly moving from pure grandiose pop on “Ponytail” to the thumping echoic lead single “Blink Twice” to softly glimmering ode to the intimacy of creative collaboration on “The Pearl”. Collaborating with longtime peers Casey MQ, NightFeelings, Count Baldor and Jesse St John and releasing the EP with longtime collaborator Sega Bodega, on his imprint ambient tweets.

Listen to ‘The girl, so confusing version with lorde’ HERE.
The revered Los Angeles artist has become one of the most singular and distinctive songwriters of her generation, largely through the bewitching sound of her acoustic guitar and vocals: a mystical, elusive blend that conjures deep emotional responses from her devoted audience. With Pratt’s fourth album, Here in the Pitch, this orchestral style of ’60s inspired pop comes as close as she ever has to music you can reach out and touch in the air around you. If a sense of hope is clear in Pratt’s words, it’s even clearer in her performance: placing her voice at the forefront and creating an emotional immediacy that sets this record apart from all her past work. Through these songs, she suggests those qualities are precisely what keeps us listening, over and over again, on the edge of our seats.
