Brighton’s Ciel have announced their new EP ‘Make It Better’, set for release on 7th July on Jazz Life Records. To go alongside the news, they have shared the lead single ‘Somebody’, which is out now.
The EP is the follow-up to 2022’s ‘Not in the Sun, Nor in the Dark’ EP.
Speaking about ‘Somebody’, Ciel frontwoman Michelle Hindriks has said, “’Somebody’ is a song that came together for most part on the spot in the studio. It’s about starting to feel a deep urge to socialise, connect with others, party and be more outwards again after a period of needing solitude. Spring time is always a time when this naturally happens to me - getting out of my kind of winter hibernation and feeling that urge to be around people”.

Ciel are also set for an extensive UK and European tour, including some dates supporting Blood Red Shoes. See all the dates below.
