SANTA CECILIE - Home my universe

On Rotation: Santa Cecilie "HOME MY UNIVERSE" (EP)

Santa Cecilie, a talented singer and songwriter hailing from Bergen, Norway, invites listeners to step into her world with the release of her EP "Home My Universe". The music within this project is both intimate and expansive, reflecting the complexities of modern life and the personal journey toward self-acceptance. With lyrics that touch on themes of life, death, and the ebb and flow of existence, the EP offers a candid and vulnerable look at what it means to truly come home to oneself.

For Cecilie, this EP is more than just a collection of songs. It’s a response to the world we live in today, a world that often feels heavy with uncertainty and change. Each track is infused with the struggles and triumphs that accompany personal growth, capturing the moments where we face our fears and confront the illusions that hold us back.

In her own words, Cecilie explains that she isn’t your typical 9-to-5 person. Her sensitivity, while sometimes challenging, has been her guiding force, driving her to explore new cultures and seek alternative perspectives. This sensitivity is not a weakness, but rather the very essence that fuels her creativity. Through her music, Cecilie has found a way to transform her emotional depth into something meaningful, using it to carve out her own artistic universe.

Her journey isn’t one of avoidance, but rather of embracing the discomforts and challenges that come with change. She believes that it is often at the edges of these challenges that we find some of our most beautiful moments. Instead of being consumed by fear, Cecilie has chosen to face it head-on, using it as fuel for her music. The result is an EP that feels both raw and liberating, a true expression of personal growth.

Collaborating with her musical partner Ketil Fersum and Daniel Birkeland from Studio Havnelageret, Cecilie has created a sound that blends her personal experiences with her ever-evolving artistry. The addition of Marius Erster Bergesen’s percussion further enhances the emotional impact of the project, giving each track a rhythmic depth that complements the themes of the lyrics.

Ultimately, HOME MY UNIVERSE  is an invitation to reflect, to confront the truths that shape us, and to find comfort in the knowledge that we are not alone in our struggles. Santa Cecilie’s music speaks to the heart, leaving listeners with a sense of possibility and the inspiration to create and explore their own paths.
