CIARAN is back with his debut album “CICI” and it’s a project that feels bold and personal. With 15 tracks, this album is more than just a collection of songs, it’s a full journey through his world, his struggles, and his growth. What makes this album special is not only its sound but also the story behind it. After setbacks, including a lawsuit that almost stopped his music entirely, CIARAN bounced back stronger than ever. Out of that fight came “CICI”, a record that introduces us to his alter ego, CiCi, the fearless and unapologetic side of himself.
The album blends so many different styles from UK drill, hip-hop, afrobeats to R&B, pop, and even touches of dancehall, and somehow, it all fits together perfectly. The production is creative and smart, but also raw in a way that lets the soul of his music shine. Tracks like “Solo” really capture that raw, unpolished magic, while “Ghost” is full of energy and sharp delivery. “Dirty” is another standout with smooth vocals, a cool instrumental, and lyrics that stick. “Deep” carries an honest, personal story but is also super catchy, and “Mi Amor” has that catchy vibe that makes it instantly memorable. And then there’s “Man of My Dreams”, the final track, which closes the album in such a powerful way, it’s emotional, self-reflective, and feels like the perfect ending to this chapter.
Listening through this record feels exciting because every track has its own unique flavor, but the energy never drops. CIARAN has proven once again that his music is different and always memorable. We loved this album from start to finish. The mix of styles, the honesty in the lyrics, and the fearless delivery make CICI something really special. For us, this project feels like more than an album and we can’t wait to see what CIARAN does next.
