CELLO - To Release New Single "Like A Tiger" (Out 12th June)
Ahead of her forthcoming album ‘Kung Fu Disco’, emerging indie-pop artist Cello returns with her third single, “Like A Tiger” on 12th June. Part Robyn, part Bolan, with a hint of Madonna, driving funk guitars on a heavy disco beat lay the foundation for this song, which explores the idea of otherness.

Brighton-based artist Cello is set to release her defiant third single, “Like A Tiger”.
Ahead of her forthcoming album ‘Kung Fu Disco’, emerging indie-pop artist Cello returns with her third single, “Like A Tiger” on 12th June. Part Robyn, part Bolan, with a hint of Madonna, driving funk guitars on a heavy disco beat lay the foundation for this song, which explores the idea of otherness.
“I wanted it to feel like breaking free,” shares Cello, “The song is about feeling like an alien, like you don’t belong, and maybe you’re not even from here.” But instead of being afraid of that feeling, “Like A Tiger” is about learning to love the strangeness. The universe is infinite and we are just specs of dust amongst the stars, but somehow, through it all, we are connected.
And of course, there’s the tiger. We all want to be like a tiger, don’t we?

About Cello
Cello is a solo artist from Brighton, UK. Nicknamed Cello after studying at the Junior Royal College of Music as a young cellist, she blends classical discipline with a lifelong love of post-punk, indie-rock and art-pop to create a sound that feels both fresh and strangely familiar.
Drawing inspiration from everything around her – from the dramatic flair of Stevie Nicks and Lady Gaga to her parents’ eclectic vinyl collection of heavy rock, David Bowie and Eurythmics – Cello channels those influences through the sharp-edged energy of post-punk and art-rock acts such as Wire and Blondie.
While touring internationally as a professional cellist, she met producer and co-writer JB – a former EMIM Music Studios engineer whose credits include Guru’s ‘Jazzmatazz’, Primal Scream, Heavy Stereo, The House of Love and Merz – after a chance meeting on the last train home from London.
During lockdown, Cello began writing songs of her own, bringing her love of rock and roll from the stage into the studio. Together with JB, she developed her debut album, ‘Kung Fu Disco’, due for release in autumn 2026 on Barracuda Recordings. Recorded at The Metway – home to The Levellers – the album captures the excitement, experimentation and irreverent spirit that drives Cello’s music.
