Youthful, melancholic and contemplative, it occupies such a profound space. As you listen to the song, it feels familiar. The sadness, the nostalgia, the grief, and the glimmers of hope. Like a soft summer day spent under the shimmering shade of the trees. This song would fit right into this scene and this mood. Listen Now! 

Cassidy Dickens – Lanterns 

Cassidy Dickens is a prolific singer-songwriter and performer. She wears her heart and her sentiments in her song. So nuanced and intricate is the web she casts that it absorbs you into its reality, mood, and ethos. Her latest release is ‘Lanterns’, a ruminative track that feels so nostalgic. With a ribbon of country running through it, she keeps it earthy, personal, and alive. The piano melodies and guitar acoustics disperse like dandelions, leaving such an immersive resonance behind. In this cloud of melodic harmony, Cassidy’s vocals tell a nostalgic story. She delivers folk rock in a contemporary style. With a fluidity that suits her protagonist and her philosophy of life. That’s what makes it stick and stay. Linger on in us, because she makes it her own.
