Cecily Hennigan is a versatile Christian singer and composer who infuses her songs with a deeply personal brand of faith. Ever since her initial brush with fame—a 2018 viral video of her singing in a McDonald’s drive-through, followed by an appearance on the U.S. version of The Voice, all by the age of 16—the South Carolina native has straddled the Christian and secular pop divide. While she’s racked up collaborations with groups like Maverick City Music and Housefires that infuse praise and worship with gospel’s urgency, she’s also crafted ethereal pop confessionals chiselled by the ups and downs of everyday life. This is especially true of Hennigan’s 2023 debut EP, I Wish I Didn’t Love You, on which she uses her love of Christ as a means of becoming more intimate with the very human contours between romance and heartache.
