Nu-gen trailblazer Cassyette today releases the new single ‘Friends In Low Places’, lifted from her highly anticipated debut album‘This World Fucking Sucks’, out August 23rd 2024 via 23 Recordings.
Following a sensational performance at this year’s Download Festival and fresh from supporting Bryan Adams on a nationwide UK tour, Cassyette has shared the gritty and anthemic new single ‘Friends in Low Places’. Delving into themes of solidarity and resilience, the track celebrates the power of friendship during times of hardship. With its crashing drums and heartfelt lyrics, the track effortlessly showcases Cassyette’s ability to create raw and emotionally cathartic tracks.
Speaking about the new single, Cassyette said: “‘Friends in Low Places’ is the last song I added to the album. It felt like the final piece of the puzzle after writing a record about times of hardship, while grieving my dad, getting clean after struggling with addiction and ending a long term relationship.
This album needed ‘Friends in Low Places’ to even exist in the first place. It’s because of those very important friends that continued to hold me up at every pitfall that I am even still here, and vice versa.
I dedicate this song to those friends (they know who they are) as we’re so lucky to have each other throughout everything. I want people to dedicate this song to friends who have been there for them through times of hardship. This World Fucking Sucks but it definitely sucks a little less when we have friends around us to help hold us through those times. We are all in this together.”
‘Friends In Low Places’ is another brilliant track from Cassyette’s highly anticipated debut album, ‘This World Fucking Sucks’, and follows previous tracks ‘Over It’, ‘When She Told Me’, ‘Why Am I LIke This?’, ‘Ipecac’, and the touching surprise track ‘Four Leaf Clover’ which Cassyette released in honour of Father’s Day. The coming-of-age record is Cassyette’s most personal to date, and an anthology of collected feelings that address the nature of living in today’s society. Cassyette holds nothing back on this record as she tackles a range of complex subject matters from grief to substance abuse, nihilism and more. Sonically, expect to hear Cassyette effortlessly blend genres as she blurs the lines of rock, pop, metal, drum ’n’ bass and more like never seen before.
Speaking about her debut album ‘This World Fucking Sucks’ Cassyette said: “I’m so excited for the release of my first album. I’ve put in so much work and I’ve collaborated with so many amazing and talented people and I’m so grateful to see it brought to life. Since my Dad’s passing, I’ve tried my best to not surrender to the darkness that comes with grief. It’s from that darkness that ‘This World Fucking Sucks’ was born, and I really hope to do him proud, and that anyone that’s going through the same thing takes comfort in listening to it. We’re in this together.”
