It mixed elements of dream pop, psychedelia, twee harmonies and slower tempos. The single received critical acclaim and sold a lot of sales at her BandCamp website. Few weeks later, she released two singles, "All I Want Is You / Rainy Days". The All I Want You single is a straightforward chamber folk song while Rainy Days is a dream pop/slowcore heavy hitter. This time, she got a backing band. Cecilia gathered Angela as her pianist, Olivia as her bassist, Miranda as her drummer, Linda as her second guitarist.
