Born from the dimly lit streets of Chicago, Tenci takes their sound to new heights with their latest album Cherry. Blending the emotional rawness of indie with the catchy melodies of pop, Tenci takes listeners on a journey, like flipping through old photo albums. And yes, this album is truly an awakening.
"Cherry" – A Bittersweet Spring Tale
From the very first note, the album carries a subtle fragility. Like the first cherry blossoms suddenly blooming in the final days of winter.
Tenci's vocals are sometimes soft and introspective, like silent thoughts that pass through one's mind while walking alone at sunset. Other times, they are warm and exuberant, like meeting an old friend years later.
Tracks like "I’m Not Missing You" and "Old Friend" especially paint the feeling of loss and nostalgia in a melodic way. Simple guitar tones flow beneath, intertwining with tender vocals, creating a familiar yet fresh feeling.
Tenci’s Journey: Lonely Nights in the Studio
The album’s production process reflects this emotional depth.
After the pandemic, Tenci recorded most of the songs in a small home studio during long, lonely nights. The small song snippets shared on TikTok quickly gained traction, and these intimate recordings transformed into an album.
And yes, Cherry feels more like the echo of laughter and silent tears in a real room than the sterile sound of studio production.
Let Go with "Cherry"
This album will remind you of your own memories. Those moments when you catch yourself smiling while listening to a song, or when you think of an old love and feel a pang of longing.
That's exactly where Tenci touches.
An album filled with unfiltered emotions, raw sincerity, and small melodic surprises.
