CINNAMON BABE, the emerging nu-metal project of model/actress/influencer Stormi Maya, has released a music video for their new single "Messiah".
"Messiah" is available now on all streaming platforms.
Commenting on the new single, Stormi states:
“I wanted to try something different for our next single. Even though I consider myself more nu-metal/punk, I wanted to dip into the industrial/electronic rock sound. One of my biggest musical idols is Nine Inch Nails...that was my inspiration. I wanted to make something sexy, dark, and powerful. Feminine power."
She goes on to add: “While most of my music written is about my battles with mental illness, past traumas, and struggles, I took a break from that to make something sexually empowering and fun. [Messiah] is about being worshipped, adored, and in control: all the things we secretly desire. This song makes me feel like a goddess in a world where I mostly feel like a freak."
CINNAMON BABE is an LA-based nu-metal outfit led by model, actress, and outright hustler Stormi Maya. The Bronx native, who grew up on bands like The Cranberries and would later find inspiration from the rebellious voice of acts like Rage Against The Machine and Linkin Park, has come a long way to make this dream a reality. As a black woman, an ally of BIPOC and the LGBTQ+ community, and most of all, a survivor, Cinnamon Babe is Maya's vehicle to tell her truth.
Stormi has dealt with struggles and stereotypes her entire life. As a young girl, she survived domestic abuse, homelessness, the foster system, and mental health issues. To the world that knows her as a successful model and upcoming actress, those stories remain a mystery. But Cinnamon Babe is an entirely different venture for the tireless worker who built a better life on the other side of her tumultuous past - it's an honest expression of the demons and inner strength that came from it.
