"SILVER SPOONS," a new single from CAS ONE, produced by ALXNDRBRWN, dropped everywhere you listen to music on May 12, 2023!
Words from Cas on his new single:
"It’s been a long time since I have sat down to say something about something I've created in any real capacity. For a few years now, I’ve shared with you some of the changes that therapy and self-reflection have taught me to make. These changes have given me peace. Well, first they brought me a lot of turmoil. Then they gave me peace. The process has taken me to a place where I’ve felt comfortable creating again.
And so, I’m happy to announce: you are now hearing some of the fruits of that labor. We are starting with a song called “Silver Spoons,” which is really the only place fitting to begin. It’s a song that Alxndrbrwn did the score for. If you're wondering why I say 'score,' and not 'instrumental' or 'beat,' you’ll understand when you hear it. It feels like he gave me a piece of something that he’s seen before. It’s a warm and nostalgic song with a feeling of distant somberness - but the good kind of somber. Just like our teen years, right?
I’m also very excited to show this artwork that Pat Jensen worked on. He’s so good at capturing the feeling behind the music. It’s always so fun to give him a concept and then see it come back better than you described it, like an idea that’s been brought to life. It really is a pleasure and a dream to work with him. There are clues all throughout the cover hinting at what the song is about, so spend some time staring at it before the song drops and unlock the secrets to the Cas-iverse.
I appreciate everyone that’s ridden with me so long. I’ve never felt more confident in a song before. I’d be remiss if I didn't say that that confidence is also a sheath for the daggers of worry…or is that the fear of expectation? It’s been a long time since I announced something, ya know? But…It is my favorite song that I’ve ever made. Because it was so natural. I’ll try to make this announcement as natural as possible as well. You’ll see. I hope we feel the same. And there's more to come, both for this release and for the future.
STRANGE FAMOUS!" - Cas

Sometimes you come across an artist that is compelled to do what they do.
I appreciate the musicality and the arrangement and the artistry of the songs. He sings and plays like his life depends on it. I appreciate the humanity of the lyrics… Like reading Tortilla Flats, or watching Nobody’s Fool.
Ceschi is a bright star. I’m glad he’s loose in the world. oldtruck

Right from the opening strains' reference to the pro-union anthem "Step by Step", this is serious business. Plainly exploring and unpacking B's own life journey, this trail leads to places which are stirring and gripping in equal measure.
As the album progresses, explorations of philosophy, racism, kids' TV, influencer life and prosperity are set to a samples from artists such as Nina Simone and Tom Waits to 20s gospel.
This album is to be cherished. irishgamergrrl

Great chilled beats & sounds, quality scratching & intelligent rhymes. The mix is optimised for phone speakers too which is an excellent idea. What TF more do you want? Rory Bell
