Cyrena Wages once again makes people talk about herself with the single ‘Same Shit, Different Century’. This is a case where an entire personal and cultural perspective stands behind the release, something suffered through and rethought.
Having grown up between Millington and Shelby Forest, Cyrena Wages brings into her music a complex heritage, family stories, social frameworks, and an inner conflict with them.

Her debut album ‘Vanity Project’, which she worked on together with producer Matt Ross-Spang, sounds like an act of liberation, from others’ expectations, labels and the roles that were imposed on her for a long time. ‘Same Shit, Different Century’ in this context serves as the key to the overall concept of the release.
The track remains in this space of uncertainty, where behind an apparent lightness lies a rather precise observation about the cyclical nature of human problems. Eras, settings and rhetoric change, but the essence remains painfully recognizable. I recommend listening to it!
