Canadian city pop artist and singer-songwriter CECILIA returns with a bittersweet city pop tune “Sweetest Luxury”, to be available on July 23, 2025 at 00:00 ET (Eastern Time).
Following her previous city pop releases “Merry-Go-Round”, “Don’t Go Dancing” and “Technicolor You”, this track marks her 4th city pop single since her debut in 2024.
“Sweetest Luxury”, co-written by CECILIA and producer seyertam (Matt Reyes), is CECILIA’s first single recorded in two languages – Korean and Japanese. The Japanese lyrics were written by singer-songwriter / producer / pianist Cecili, adapted from the original Korean lyrics written by CECILIA. The song reminisces about a past love that sadly ended, but remembers it as the “Sweetest Luxury” that shone brightly while it lasted, as it was a true love that was meant to happen. CECILIA hopes to reach city pop listeners across the world with this exciting new multi-language release.

CECILIA is an independent artist based in Toronto, Canada, who describes her music as “dramatic sad girl citypop”. Her music career began in 2017 at an open mic night in a Hong Kong jazz bar, where she had an epiphany that music could be more than just a hobby. She entered and became a finalist at the 2018 Those Days These Song singing contest on Fairchild TV, and also won second place runner up at the 2021 Canadian Chinese Songwriters Quest hosted by Fairchild Radio as a vocalist and a topliner. Continuing her momentum, she joined the all-Asian girl punk rock band FETTISH as the bassist, songwriter and second vocalist before its disbandment in 2020 due to COVID-19. Currently, she regularly performs with the Toronto-based city pop band Next Perfect Day, playing Japanese and
Korean city pop tunes from the 80s. Her love for city pop comes from the nostalgic vibe and the unique musical and cultural history of the genre, combining Eastern sentiments with Western musical influences. With the revival of the genre in the 2020s, she wants to reinterpret city pop for a new generation of global audience.
