Music Crowns is proud to premiere “In Another Life”, the breathtaking first ballad from rising global pop sensation Cybèle’s forthcoming debut album Paradise (out January 2026).
Harvard-Berklee student by day, chart-ready superstar by night, the French-Chinese-American artist — affectionately dubbed the real-life Hannah Montana — delivers a sweeping love song infused with lush jazz harmonies, cinematic strings, and timeless soul. “In Another Life” captures that lightning-bolt feeling of love at first sight: the instant, unshakable connection with someone who feels strangely familiar.
Written during a pivotal break from college, the track was born in a moment of pure creative surrender. One night, after looping Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson, Cybèle imagined Michael himself sitting beside her — not as a legend, but as a muse.
For hopeless romantics who still believe in destiny, “In Another Life” lands somewhere between the emotional depth of SZA and the cinematic elegance of Raye and Beyoncé — a ballad that feels as intimate as it is epic.
Already a seasoned performer, Cybèle has graced iconic stages including The Apollo, Staples Center, and the Clive Davis Theater; sung for Motown founder Berry Gordy; and earned the “Shining Star” Award from Earth, Wind & Fire’s Larry Dunn. Her work has been commissioned by the American Cancer Society and Stanford University, and her voice has powered campaigns for Prada Beauty, the Super Bowl, and DreamWorks. With over 175K followers and millions of views, she’s fast becoming one of pop’s most magnetic new voices.
Raised in Paris, Beijing, and Los Angeles, and now splitting her time between Harvard and Berklee, Cybèle creates music that feels like film: dramatic, elegant, and deeply felt. Her upcoming nine-track debut Paradise, all written or co-written by her, is an emotional journey of self-reclamation, creative power, and soul-level connection — brought to life with Grammy-winning collaborators who have worked with Chris Brown and Toni Braxton.
With “In Another Life,” premiering exclusively via Music Crowns, Cybèle steps into her most vulnerable and cinematic space yet — proving that for her, destiny might just be set to music.
