Her latest single, &#8216;Don&#8217;t Take It Personal&#8217;, a cover of the Lyrica Anderson original, is laid back yet strikingly captivating. &#8216;Don&#8217;t Take It Personal&#8217; is out now through Auraphonic Records.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><!-- Random Ad stuff --> <ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2076862002005673\" data-ad-slot=\"3107208401\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You&#8217;ve probably heard Cici-Rose&#8217;s work: she&#8217;s sung jingles for radio, worked in TV, and advertisements, and danced at events and in arenas in and around London. Cici-Rose has also done her time as a session musician and writer for other artists over the years, but the time has now come for her to make a name for herself with her own material and sound: she&#8217;s ready to take her place on the world&#8217;s stage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Cici-Rose&#8217;s single, &#8216;Don&#8217;t Take It Personal&#8217;, is a radio-ready track with a sound that could equally find its way onto the dance floor. It&#8217;s very chilled and relaxing, which is where it draws comparisons to Lana Del Rey. Having said that, there&#8217;s a fair bit of positive feminism to the track, reminding us of Dua Lipa and her girlpower style. It&#8217;s a cover of the Lyrica Anderson song, released in 2017, but it&#8217;s been dropped down and given a more electronic styling than the original, giving it an even more seductive and transfixing element. We&#8217;re left on the edge of our seat by Cici-Rose&#8217;s voice; evocative and yet somehow elusive, we can see why she&#8217;s been in such demand as a session singer. &#8216;Don&#8217;t Take It Personal&#8217; is a great first foray into solo work, and we hope it&#8217;s not the last we hear from this up and coming and extremely talented artist.<\/p>\n<p>You can find out more about Cici-Rose online, on her <a href=\"http:\/\/cicirose.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">official website<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cicirosemusic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/christina.h.ocarroll\">Facebook<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/cicirosemusic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a>.
