Her fourth single of 2024, ‘I’ll Be Alright’ follows the successful releases of ‘Materialistic Rani’, ‘Diamond’, and ‘Genie’. Each song highlights her ability to navigate various musical terrains, seamlessly blending R&B undertones and synth pop influences into her unique auditory palette.
Reflecting on the inspiration behind her newest track, Cinnamon shares, “‘I’ll Be Alright’ is me telling myself that I’ve got this—it’s like a self-affirmation in the form of a song. It’s about reminding myself that no matter how hard things get, I have the strength to heal, grow, and come out stronger on the other side.” This message of personal resilience resonates deeply, underpinning the universal truths of overcoming adversity with steadfast positivity.
