CIN’s Music Connects on a Soul Level Because She’s Lived It

Coming straight from the Bay (Oakland, CA), rising Afro-Mexicana R&B artist, CIN is carving out a lane all her own by making music that’s an effortless blend of Hip Hop and R&B, as told through the lens of her life. Set on fostering a solid sense of unity for her listeners, she seeks to share the healing and medicine found in music with others by offering shared spaces for release, re-growth, and connection. Bold, unapologetic, and a big vibe, CIN’s sound takes you on a journey through her encounters with heartbreak, queer discovery, and the beautiful mess of being human.

“Testimony In The Static”, her debut EP is an extension of this sentiment. In addition to providing a sonic experience that feels intimate yet expansive, the EP showcases CIN’s raw vocal delivery and introspective songwriting. “Testimony In The Static” features previously released singles, like “If I Shall Die”, which seamlessly fuses Neo-Soul and Gospel undertones with modern-soul energy. Anchored in faith, resilience, and self-expression, the single is both a reflection and declaration, inviting listeners into a moment of vulnerability and strength, while exploring themes of purpose, legacy, and spiritual grounding.

Just as “If I Shall Die” was made for listeners who find solace and empowerment in music standing tall on honesty and intentionality, “Testimony In The Static” establishes CIN’s depth and connectedness, as it explores ideas of identity, religion, heartbreak, and growth, marking a defining chapter in her evolving artistic journey.

Produced by Will Randolph, the 5 track project is a short and sweet mix of vibrant, beat-driven records that pair bold lyricism with soul-filled honesty. A lone feature from CYPRUSS on “Freestyle 1” complements “Testimony In The Static” with similar sentiments. Textured vocals housing lived in lyrics, clearly show that CIN is really about the life she spills on her tracks.

Raw and authentic, with nothing to hide, CIN’s transparency connects on a soul level, with passion and the emotional depth of an artist that’s in it for the love of creative expression. Not the promise of fame or a quick come up. Which is why she’s up next and is just getting started.
