I just want to make sure people feel things with the songs I create &#8211; whether it be a song I write for myself or another artist. I hope the public vibes with &#8216;Ultimatum&#8217; the same way my friends and family have.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Ontario-based artist is self-taught in her craft. This may be why the single has a feeling of accessibility and relatability often associated with bedroom-folk. The act of putting a genuine, emotional narrative to a tune. Yet, the song shakes itself free of this genre with subtle production that elevates it to a position in the heralded realms of pop.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Ultimatum&#8217; does not sound like a first single. Instead, it exhibits the confidence and quality of a seasoned and successful artist. Christina CF appears to have single-handedly sourced a formula for fresh, exciting music. &#8216;Ultimatum&#8217; is the first example of this, and certainly worthy of a place on any playlist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canadian solo artist Christina CF cruises into the indie-pop scene with her first single, &#8216;Ultimatum&#8217;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":35440,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[57,9],"tags":[673,3937,14007,989,77,370,78,14008],"class_list":["post-35418","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-artists","category-new-releases","tag-canada","tag-canadian","tag-christina-cf","tag-new-artist","tag-new-release","tag-new-single","tag-singer","tag-ultimatium"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5yMhl-9dg","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":77158,"url":"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2022\/08\/christina-morgan-diaz-is-a-shimmering-light-in-a-world-of-darkness-with-new-single-you-are\/","url_meta":{"origin":35418,"position":0},"title":"Christina Morgan-Diaz Is A Shimmering Light In A World Of Darkness With New Single, &#8216;You Are&#8217;","author":"Lisa Hafey","date":"15\/08\/2022","format":false,"excerpt":"Pop artist Christina Morgan-Diaz lets her faith shine like a light in the darkness in her new single, 'You Are'.","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Music&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Music","link":"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/category\/music\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Christina-Morgan-Diaz-YA-art.jpg?fit=1200%2C1200&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Christina-Morgan-Diaz-YA-art.jpg?fit=1200%2C1200&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Christina-Morgan-Diaz-YA-art.jpg?fit=1200%2C1200&ssl=1&resize=525%2C300 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Christina-Morgan-Diaz-YA-art.jpg?fit=1200%2C1200&ssl=1&resize=700%2C400 2x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Christina-Morgan-Diaz-YA-art.jpg?fit=1200%2C1200&ssl=1&resize=1050%2C600 3x"},"classes":[]},{"id":77374,"url":"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2022\/08\/christina-isabella-releases-latest-single-gaslighter\/","url_meta":{"origin":35418,"position":1},"title":"CHRISTINA ISABELLA Releases Latest Single, &#8216;Gaslighter&#8217;","author":"Lisa Hafey","date":"23\/08\/2022","format":false,"excerpt":"Set for release on 2 September, 'Gaslighter' is the new single from CHRISTINA ISABELLA.
