Jakarta, ThedailyID — TikTok LIVE launched the debut mini album Caramelting by Indonesian music creator Cece Caramel on April 10, 2026, marking her shift from content creator to professional musician.
The team produced the album in Seoul with support from TikTok LIVE and SoundOn. The project highlights TikTok’s growing role in developing local talent for global audiences.
Michael Tan said music plays a key role in the platform’s ecosystem. He added that creators like Cece help drive its growth through consistent and authentic live content.
“We are proud to support Cece’s journey into the professional music industry. We hope this milestone inspires other creators to share their work and reach global audiences,” he said.
Cece said TikTok LIVE has served as her creative space for the past four years. She credited the platform with helping her connect with fans and grow as an artist.
“I hope this album not only reaches music listeners, but also encourages other creators to stay consistent and pursue their dreams,” she said.
The mini album title combines “Caramel,” from her stage name, and “melting,” reflecting the warm and emotional tone she aims to deliver.
The album features three tracks with distinct styles:
- “Fling Thing” opens the album with an upbeat, catchy sound mixed with rap elements. The track, which she released in February, has reached listeners across Asia, including South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.
- “Say Less” delivers a K-ballad style produced by INFX. The song highlights Cece’s emotional vocals and entered curated playlists such as Pop Rising Indonesia on Spotify and Pendatang Baru on YouTube Music.
- “Buzzin” brings an energetic pop sound produced by Highkey Music, designed to energize live performances.
During production, Cece collaborated with samUIL, a Grammy-nominated producer known for working with acts like SEVENTEEN and NCT DREAM. The team held workshops, vocal training sessions, and studio recordings in Seoul.
“Cece’s journey on TikTok LIVE inspires many. We hope this release encourages more creators to share their talent,” samUIL said.
TikTok LIVE also supported the album’s promotion through major events. The platform introduced “Fling Thing” at TikTok LIVE Fest in Las Vegas, while Cece performed “Say Less” at TikTok LIVE: Sparkle on Sound in Jakarta.
Before this release, Cece won several music competitions, including Gimme The Mic 2024 and Music on Stage 2025. She also released “Sisi Lain” with Eka Gustiwana and “Fireworks Confession” with Michael Lin.
She also earned multiple awards at TikTok LIVE Fest 2025 in Phuket, strengthening her position as a top music creator on the platform.
Caramelting is now available on major streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music.
