Cina Soul has never rushed her moments. Since the release of her debut album “Did I Lie?,” the Ghanaian singer has moved with the patience of an artist more interested in longevity than spectacle.
That restraint made the first edition of her CinCity Concert feel less like a victory lap and more like a carefully chosen next chapter—one that unfolded with warmth, intention, and just enough chaos to feel real.
The maiden “CinCity“ wasn’t about excess. It was about presence. Cina Soul’s performance carried the emotional clarity that has long defined her music: controlled vocals, intimate delivery, and a confidence that doesn’t need to announce itself. Songs from “Did I Lie?” translated seamlessly to the live setting, revealing their emotional depth in ways studio recordings can only hint at.
The guest lineup read like a nod to both influence and community. Efya—an artist Cina Soul has openly admired—brought a sense of full-circle reverence to the night, while KiDi and YG O’Kenneth injected contrast and energy. Rather than overshadow the headline act, each guest performance felt deliberately placed, reinforcing the idea that CinCity was built around collaboration rather than hierarchy.

What made the night linger, though, was Cina Soul’s openness after the show. In a candid message to fans, she wrote:
“THANK U TO EVERYONE THAT CAME OUT TO CINCITY I COULDNT BELIEVE MY EYES!! To my friends that showed up to support me I love u and God bless everyone of you for the amazing performances. Apologies for the minor inconveniences as well! Bigger n better next year my people!!! #CinCity!”

The honesty of the statement mattered. By acknowledging imperfections alongside gratitude, Cina Soul framed CinCity not as a finished product but as a living idea—one still finding its shape. That humility, paired with clear ambition, is often what separates moments from movements.
For a first edition, CinCity didn’t try to rewrite the rules. Instead, it quietly asserted that Cina Soul is ready to host her own space in Ghana’s live music ecosystem. If this was the soft launch, then the promise of “bigger n better next year” doesn’t sound like hype. It sounds like a plan already in motion.
