Frontwoman Michelle Hindriks, with her soft yet emotive melodies, serves as the band's soulful core. Reflecting on 'Talk,' she shares, "I wrote the song starting off with a kind of dissonant chord progression and some random bits of lyrics. We finalized it as a band in the studio where it really came together. It has been one of my favorite songs that we played live this year."

 In 2022, CIEL achieved significant radio success with their track 'Baby Don't You Know,' securing a spot on the A-list of BBC 6Music in the UK. The song also garnered playlist support on NPO Radio 2, KINK FM, and Radio Veronica in the Netherlands.

As they step into 2023, CIEL is set to release two new EPs of material alongside an international tour. 'Talk' is a powerful showcase of CIEL's sonic evolution, offering an energetic yet beautifully layered take on their live performances.
