Cil
Our guest today is rising pop star Cil. The Colorado-born, LA-based singer and songwriter makes hypnotic R&B-infused pop that’s as emotionally raw as it is sonically slick—and she’s quickly becoming one of the most exciting new voices in the genre. With co-signs from the likes of Stevie Nicks and praise from Billboard and V Magazine, she’s already made waves with singles like “Bloodsucker” and “One More Shot.” Today, Cil releases her new EP don’t hold me accountable—a bold, emotionally charged collection that showcases her signature edge and refusal to play by the rules. While we were in Sydney, we sat down with her to talk about the making of the EP, how tuning out external expectations helped shape its sound, and how ’90s R&B left its imprint on her music. We also dive into her early songwriting journey, the story behind “Pretty Years,” and introduce her to the very Aussie concept of a shoey.
