Cégiu – Glowing Goodbye (Video)
“”Cégiu” has managed to capture a spiritual power in this Folk production. Psychedelic soundscapes are combined with influensive lyrics. The overall progression is slow and a kind of mystic atmosphere is strongly presented. Don’t miss this experience.”

The hauntingly beautiful piece “Glowing Goodbyes” is about letting go and is also the title track of Cégiu’s freshly released selfproduced album sonically created by electronic beats, cello and insect sounds.
Cégiu seeks the limit of pain. The musician/composer/producer is fascinated and inspired by the spectrum of moving forward, saying farewell to certain things and letting go. This concept is communicated with unique musicality and style in her songs. She produces her own beats from insect sounds and cello and is a self-made producer who intersects classical and electronic elements with experimental flair. The versatility of the layers of the music create an atmosphere of meditativeness and entrance listeners, sending them deeper into their psyche as each song progresses. It is difficult to put Cégiu’s music into a box – some have referred to it as ‘art pop,’ ‘chamber pop,’ or ‘freak folk,’ however, it’s more multifaceted than just one or two genres.
Inspired by topics of dementia, breaking down stereotypes, natural disasters and the menstrual cycle; her music expresses the mind of a restless artist in an emotional world. It’s no coincidence that many people are brought to tears when Cégiu performs live, as the artist’s natural ability to take listeners into themselves conveys empathy, vulnerability and understanding. Cégiu invites listeners to search for their own limits of pain and to release themselves into the soul of the music and let go.
