London based Rapper/songwriter Casscade; The artist, known for his unique blend of Hip-Hop, Pop-rap and R&B has officially released his EP titled “Found The Remote Lost the Control.” This project comes alongside a short film – a poignant exploration of the complexities of finding oneself amidst the chaos of modern life.
At its core, “Found The Remote Lost the Control” delves into the contradictory nature of self-discovery and loss, portraying them not as opposing forces but as intertwined aspects of personal growth. Through introspective lyrics and evocative melodies, Casscade brings you on a journey of self-awareness, social consciousness, navigating the complexities that arise from being money obsessed and finding acceptance. The EP explores the impact of external influences on identity formation while confronting the relentless pace of modern society.
Reflecting on the inspiration behind the project, Casscade shares, “The past few years have been the most testing of my life. Emerging from a debilitating bout of burnout from my journey as a musician, balancing my day job and family feuds; I found myself deeply affected as someone very close to me faced a life-altering illness. Standing in the face of adversity, I was forced to confront the pain of it all while the world was still moving; shaping the essence of this EP. It was my therapy. It’s a testament to resilience, an unfiltered view of my experiences and emotions.
An unfiltered account of navigating through the depths of hardship and emerging stronger on the other side. It was a journey I had to take.” The EP’s release is accompanied by a visually captivating dystopian-inspired short film, further immersing audiences in the thematic exploration of the human experience. Set in a world where masks conceal truth and represent those who have lost themselves, Cascade takes us on a journey. Through arresting visuals and atmospheric storytelling, the film serves as a compelling companion piece to the music, enhancing the immersive nature of the project. The project was Fully produced by Chima Chalice with a heartstrung melancholy piano piece contribution from Elliot Herrington on “Tired.”
