BEAUTIFUL ACOUSTIC COVERS ||| REIMAGINING CLASSIC SONGS IN MAGICAL NEW WAYS “One of the most beautiful voices I’ve ever heard. Her tone, phrasing, pitch and sentiment... it’s flawless”. For now the identity of Cyrene remains a secret, but the truth will be told as her story unfolds... ||| THE STORY OF CYRENE ||| Cyrene is steeped in mystery and myth. To the Ancient Greeks, she was a huntress who slayed wild beasts with a bronze-tipped javelin and bewitched Apollo by battling a lion with her bare hands. For centuries, the city of Cyrene in Libya, built in her honour at the behest of Apollo, was a prosperous place of great cultural and political importance. Cyrene still exists and, over time, her myths have multiplied. Cyrene’s boldness and beauty, her fearlessness and fame have inspired writers, poets, sculptors and painters for hundreds of years. The lost city is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where shrines, temples and amphitheatres dominate her remains. Only now, however, has Cyrene been celebrated in song. Through Cyrene, familiar lyrics take on new meanings. The spellbinding sound has an otherworldly aura, a dreamlike quality fixed neither in time nor place. Rather than covers, these are re-interpretations that aim to blur boundaries and demolish differences, to enchant and surprise, to soothe and excite. It’s pop, seen through the lens of Cyrene’s legend, in which secrets will slowly reveal themselves. This new chapter in the story of Cyrene has just begun.
