LOVE HARD

Ahead of the release of his new EP ‘Limitations’, Cyrano shares the introspective title track - a raw, self-reflective anthem for anyone grappling with identity, burnout, and the quiet struggle to keep moving forward. With his signature honesty and cinematic production, ‘Limitations’ captures the tension between self-awareness and self-doubt, unfolding through late-night chats on an open road. Written between time zones and emotional states, it’s Cyrano at his most vulnerable, yet most resilient. Cyrano returns next month for a special EP launch show, raising funds for War Child and those displaced from their homes due to conflict.

Limitations lyrics:

Well I guess I know my limitations
And I’m not hard defined
Well I guess I know my limitations
And I’m not hard defined
Well I guess I know my limitations

It’s typical me to leave a moment
In the sight of everyone
As I try to overcome
My typical need to be heroic
As I’m lent my time by sleep
Is this the life I want to keep?

And I'm not hard defined

Well I guess I know my limitations
And I’m not hard defined
Well I guess I know my limitations
And I’m not hard defined
Well I guess I know my limitations

In the sight of everyone
I was tired and overrun
But like the whole of my head now
I’m not hard defined

And I'm not hard defined
And I’m not hard defined
Well I guess I know my limitations

Anchored by driving drums and ethereal vocals, 'SHADOWWORK' is an invitation to embrace your inner dark feminine energy. With its emotionally charged lyrics and heavy dramatic sound influenced by Chelsea Wolfe, Nick Cave, and Kate Bush, the single showcases Catherine Elms as a bold and introspective artist in the Welsh alternative music scene.

'SHADOWWORK' is the final track from Catherine's sophomore album, 'Bring In The Wild' (August 2025). The album draws inspiration from Jungian psychology and shadow work, inviting the listener to confront and embrace our inner shadows that we usually push away, so that we can fully accept and love ourselves.

Un misticismo defensivo
que le hace más grande
surca los circuitos plata
en un rojo que lo ve todo

Arriba'l doble planta
tengo ojos d'ave'l fragüe.
Un inmortal al que el olor
a Mackie D's le distrae.

La verdad la dice el resto de su cara apantaná,
piel entumecía y el alma
derramá, derramá, derramá, de rama en rama.

Aquí en la calle no hay piedras
ni chuchos ni quioscos.
Ya dejé yo la toalla
con las cáscaras de pipa.

La voz se me atraganta
los pulmones se me encogen
y llego tarde, hay un recital de mi dolor
en el iris de mi madre

La verdad la dice el resto de su cara apantaná,
piel entumecía y el alma
derramá, derramá, derramá, de rama en rama.

La verdad la dice el texto que es mi cara desde ya.
Rozo tu mejilla con el alma
derramá, derramá, derramá, de rama en rama.

Y 'fite tú por donde al final he ido a pará.

from London to Accra with a stop-off at a Cali Sunday Service” (though she prefers not to
label her music as “Christian”). She has gained attention from the likes of Gal-Dem and AFROPUNK - who premiered her debut EP “Break My Silence”. Sey's new EP "Vapour" is out now.
