LOTL Radio Welcomes Cecily , Discuss Her New EP, Awakening Pt. 1

WASHINGTON, DC) July 19, 2019 – Award-winning recording artist Cecily (Harmonius Grits, LLC), releases new single “Clumsy” from her tantalizing upcoming 5-track EP, Awakening Pt.1, available July 26th. “Clumsy” is part homage and throwback to the gritty sound that made soul music stand out: sensual vocals, funky bass lines, introspective lyrics, warm Rhodes, and bebop-inspired horn arrangements. You’ll hear influences of J Dilla and Roy Hargrove. For this song, Cecily collaborated with Soul/Jazz artist Drew Kid, and bassist Malik Hunter, who plays with Black Milk and Aaron Abernathy.  Lyrically, songwriter Cecily was inspired by the following quote from Thich Naht Hahn's book How To Love: "To love without knowing how to love wounds the person we love.” “The song”, Cecily says, “is about being vulnerable enough to say, ‘I don't love myself the way I should, and I don't want to hurt you while I figure out how to do that.’ It’s about rejecting the fear of being alone.” The track is symbolic of the rest of Awakening Pt. 1, which is an album about loving yourself. “These are stories of choosing love over fear, and I hope these songs serve as a reminder to my listeners to do the same.” – Cecily
