about

A quasar is a supermassive black hole found at the center of some galaxies, a luminous and active mass. CIFIKA extends this galactic image into a metaphor for a love that is collapsing yet increasing in magnitude. CIFIKA’s vocals feel nearly improvisational, freely flowing from note to note. Inspired by church choir music, CIFIKA’s syllables blend into each other as she showcases her wide range and layers vocal lines.

lyrics

Dark Quasar

[Verse 1]
It seems we’ve come far I see you losing
all your energy
I wanna say
You’ve made this far
There’s no way back
In your sorrow I see
all reflection of your insecurity
Borrow all my agility and prophecy bae Leave it all behind
Leave it all yeah
[Verse 3]
Tell me you want me to be by your side Don’t let go of your hope
That’s your fuel
Show me all your fear
It widens my love
Now put your brave face on I will lead
[Chorus]
Hold me tight Dark Quasar We are falling, falling
I wish I was your night sky See you levitate
Oh babe I’ve never been this high Don’t let go of your hope
Don’t let go of your heart
I’ll do anything to make you bright I got you on my way
Meet me at the apex
[Verse 4]

Since you have orbited the blue star
Tell me a tale of your genesis
Although myself is totally from different time We have something in common
Like knowing the concept of love and hate Like wanting the alchemy of a fate
Tell me you want me to be by your side Don’t let go of your hope
That is your fuel
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
Hold me tight Dark Quasar We are falling falling
I wish I was your night sky See you levitate
Oh babe I’ve never been this high Don’t let go of your hope
Don’t let of of your love
I’ll do anything to make you bright I got you on my way
Meet me at the apex
You and I
Meet me at the You and I
Meet me at the You and I levitate
Hold me tight Dark Quasar Show me all your fear Orbiting a blue star
It widens my love
Falling falling
We're finally fading Orbiting a blue star (Your fuel)
I know a place You’ve never been
From above It agitates, like love and hate

about

CIFIKA Seoul, South Korea

Emerging from the Korean underground, CIFIKA is redefining what we think contemporary Korean music sounds like.

The producer/vocalist’s bilingual, debut full-length album, HANA, reflects CIFIKA’s borderless upbringing (living in both South Korea and North America) and her vision of a world where language, art, music and gender are all fluid.
