On a musical journey

By Matt Romania

CYNTA is a local singer-songwriter in Moorabool, recently released a new single titled T’s & C’s, offering listeners an intimate look into interpersonal dynamics. Based on real-life experiences, CYNTA draws from two situations that unfolded simultaneously in her life.

CYNTA told the Moorabool News the song was inspired by two situations that unfolded in her life at similar times.

“I had a friend of mine that wanted to date me, and I just wasn’t in the same boat as him. He meant a lot to me, and I still wanted us to be friends, but in order for that to proceed, he wanted me to follow all these ‘rules and unrealistic boundaries.”

The single delves into the feelings of entrapment and frustration which unfortunately can arise in relationships.

“I felt like I was literally signing a contract with all these unnecessary and excessive commands,” said CYNTA.

Musically, T’s & C’s presents an evolution in CYNTA’s style, particularly with its chord progressions. This change was partly in response to feedback from a university teacher who once critiqued her songwriting approach.

“The chords of the song were inspired by a uni teacher of mine, who told me that the chord progressions I used in my songs were ‘boring’. So, T’s & C’s goes on quite a melodic journey.”

Behind the scenes, CYNTA collaborated with Kyle Collins, a talented guitarist she’s known for years.

“I brought him on board to record the guitar for this song because I knew he would be perfect for this project,” she said.

Additionally, she teamed up with ZEO, a producer she met through TikTok, who played an instrumental role in bringing the song to its final form.

For those interested in supporting CYNTA’s work, T’s & C’s is widely available on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, and YouTube.

“Streaming or downloading my single will help me gain more traction in the music industry. Also keeping up to date with my gigs and music by following my accounts on TikTok and Instagram is a great way to show your support.”

As for the future, CYNTA is optimistic.

“In the next year I hope to have a few more singles out. I am hoping to release a debut EP within the next year or so. I am constantly gigging in and around Melbourne,” she said.

“I can’t wait to see where my music takes me.”
