Cici rebrands as a woman of God

Hamba Jumba hitmaker Cici recently made her comeback into the music scene, but she has now rebranded to being a woman of God. Not entirely stating that her sound is more Gospel-like, Cici said her music is God-centred, describing it like a hug from God.

"My music feels like a hug from God," she captioned the Instagram video. "Crazy that I’m only enjoying my career now. Because I can finally be the artist I’ve always wanted to be," she added.

Cici reveals music healed her

In a previous report from Briefly News, Cici got candid about how music healed her and helped her cope with her mental health struggles.

"I wasn't myself, but I had my music which got me through that," she told ZiMoja. "It has been amazing to see how my fans who've dealt with the same issue come up and tell me that my music was instrumental in helping them get through their struggles. It means my music is doing something good."
