Cynthia Erivo is here to turn everyone green with envy as she prepares to cast a musical spell on everyone. The singer cum actress teased a brand new single 'Worst Of Me' which is set to release on Friday, April 11. After dropping a soul-stirring song, "Replay", that had everyone hit the replay button, she is now back with another symphony.
Cynthia Erivo shared the song's teaser on her Instagram page, which had the "I know how to soothe your soul" vibe. It was a black and white video that looked as if an Adele, Sade, and Rihanna fan decided to make a music video but couldn't decide which artist to copy, so they ended up copying all three at once.
The video had Cynthia Erivo, a table, and a glass of wine, but the main character was the lampshade, which briefly cosplayed as a huge hat on Erivo's head. Also, the song title may give you the impression that it's about Erivo going on a self-loathing rant, but it is not so.
The lyrics make it sound like she is congratulating someone on successfully eliminating her worst traits. It must be about a therapist.
Fan reaction to Cynthia Erivo's new single 'Worst Of Me'
Erivo created a lot of headlines for her role as Elphaba in the American musical fantasy film Wicked alongside Ariana Grande. The film received praise, and people were surprised to see someone giving tough competition to Ariana Grande for her singing skills.
It was then that many people realized that Erivo could also sing. And now, after she released a snippet of her upcoming song 'Worst Of Me', people realized that she is taking her singing seriously and has no plans of stopping. So, they decided to give the snippet a listen and then dropped bombastic comments like these,
Someone tell user @flexking533 that everyone is wondering the same.
"The hell is this video tho"
Can anyone answer @selinameyersgf's question?
"elphaba who hurt you"
The only person who can solve @StacieATyler's mystery is Cynthia Erivo herself.
"Is she trying to be s**y or not? I can't really tell."
User @PEBPhotography is onto something,
"That chorus sounds like a sped up Sade song"
User @ctlaltdlt01 added another hilarious comment,
"But really? Who's listening to Cynthia erivo?"
User @watchmegoandjus sounds like he owes Cynthia money and is avoiding her.
"Why is this woman being forced on us. Make it stop"
Well, the full details about who the song is about and what the lyrics say will be revealed on April 11. The song is part of her sophomore album, whose release date is still under wraps. Rumor has it that it might release this summer, so while you are lying on the beach, sun-screened and in your sunglasses, you might get the perfect soundtrack to play to go with the sunny day.
So do whatever it takes: mark your calendar, set an alarm, or train your pet, do whatever it takes to remind yourself that April 11 is the day that Cynthia Erivo will sit in your ear and serenade you like you just reached heaven.
