Cinzia & The Eclipse will release The Wax EP on March 20, 2026. The Montreal singer-songwriter has also shared a new single, Thread, ahead of a Quebec run that opens March 6 at Petit Campus.
Thread is a slow-build, acoustic-led track that traces how early curiosity in a relationship can tip into something more fragile. “If you’re not careful you begin to lose yourself and your flexibility starts to turn into begging,” Cinzia said, describing the shift the song captures. The arrangement stays measured and uncluttered, giving the lyrics space to land.
The five-track EP pulls together songs she has been previewing over the past year, including Home and When I Think About Us. Written during what she describes as two difficult years, the project marks a change in how she approaches her own stories. Looking back at her earlier material, she realized she often framed songs around other people’s choices. “This body of work is a way to own up to choices I’ve made, as opposed to blaming other people for situations we found ourselves in,” she said.
The sessions took shape with LucaTheProducer and Markybeats, along with a writing night that included Emma Lamontagne and Vanessa Roque, known as Exa. The sound stays rooted in folk-pop, built on acoustic textures and light atmospheric touches that nod to the eclipse imagery she has woven into her project from the start.
Cinzia has grown her audience steadily through festival appearances at Festivoix, Ottawa Bluesfest, Festival sur le Canal, and St. Roch XP, and through a consistent run of singles. She has also timed recent releases around lunar cycles, a detail that longtime followers will recognize.
The Quebec dates begin March 6 at Petit Campus in Montreal, followed by March 19 at Source de la Martinière in Quebec City. Stops in London, Hamilton, and Toronto round out the spring run.
The Wax EP includes When I Think About Us, Runner, Thread, I’ll Be There, and Home.
