Following the groundbreaking, tone-setting single “it’s time to go home” and the electrifying “stranger,” WHIPPED CREAM unveils a new track today, March 19 entitled “2 u.” The song precedes her official debut album HOME WAS ALWAYS ME, set for release April 30 via Monstercat.

Sampling the iconic Tamia hit “So Into You,” “2 u” contains a unique and unexpected sound design that perfectly blends melancholy and euphoria. Within a nostalgic 90s R&B framework, the track follows WHIPPED CREAM’s signature approach towards conveying multi-dimensional stories and emotions within dance music.
“‘2 u’ is one of my personal favorites on the entire album. I’ve been playing it out for months and every time it lights up a room,” shares WHIPPED CREAM. “It’s a song that makes people close their eyes and smile without knowing why. It’s pure feeling, the kind of record that reminds you why dance music exists at all.”
The Canadian producer and vocalist, who is Caroline Cecil, is known to provide a masterclass in storytelling through dynamic, expressive vocals and a multitude of house & techno soundscapes as heard on her previous EP releases Careline (2025), is this real? (2024), Someone You Can Count On (2023) and Who Is Whipped Cream? (2020). For her debut full-length studio album, HOME WAS ALWAYS ME contains boldly cinematic dance music, as WHIPPED CREAM strives to encapsulate raw emotion grounded in the human experience, covering universal themes and connecting with audiences across the board.
At a surface level, the album appears to show WHIPPED CREAM’s strength, but it actually details her authenticity. She utilizes the Biblical figure Eve, widely portrayed as a sinner, and re-examines her as an archetype of truth, a woman bold enough to never betray herself. WHIPPED CREAM hopes to convey that our true selves aren’t lost; they’re just buried. She created HOME WAS ALWAYS ME for anyone who’s ever been misunderstood while evolving.
“People say ‘be yourself,’ but the moment you do, they project onto you. This album is about choosing yourself anyway,” she explains, further describing the project as “a modern retelling of an ancient idea that people are not defined by the stories written about them, but by the truth they choose to live.”
