Ciara Vizzard - 'Victory'
2020 wasn’t an easy year for sure and while many of us can’t wait for it to come to an end, some also believe that anyone can rise from their ashes. Ciara Vizzard is one of them, using her celestial voice and honest storytelling to instill hope in our hearts with her new single Victory out on all platforms on November 5, 2020.
Produced by Nosa Apollo (Craig David, Ella Mai, Mabel), the ethereal track follows up Price, which organically garnered 37K streams earlier this year. Determined to create pop music with substance and sensibility, Ciara is adding this time an elegant folk edge to the genre with Victory. While the throbbing drums are echoing her pain, the warm swirl of acoustic guitars will bring the listeners comfort and help restore their inner peace in difficult times. Showcasing both vulnerability and resilience, the singer-songwriter’s voice gracefully soars in a chorus with a message that will certainly feel more relevant than ever.
“Victory was written after quite a few unexpected tough life moments for me. It is me essentially saying that you can try to bring me to my knees but I am going to get back up because I will always have the victory, Ciara Vizzard describes. I guess you could say it is a fight song, to remind oneself to keep going especially when life gets tough and is a seemingly never-ending series of bumps in the road.”
Born and raised in America to Irish and American parents, Ciara Vizzard grew up in Paris, later moving to Belfast, before settling near London. Her nomadism fed into genuine life experiences, which soon turned into lyrics that have a unique style and authenticity that crosses divides and speak straight to the soul.
Dedicating her life to music these last few years, she’s been turning heads in the music industry ever since, with a sold out launch for her debut EP Fearless, followed with three more singles that revealed her growth in sound as an artist. One thing is clear: Ciara Vizzard will break your heart and then mend it, one song at a time.
