Cassidy Dickens-Deep End
Cassidy Dickens is an Americana girl, but in a new world. She brings her unique style to music through her lens-and the kind of melodies people are envious of. Her tone is as diverse and special as you would find in a musician-someone who can arrange music as well as they can execute it. The singer-songwriter from Nashville brings her soulful voice to her with her latest single, Deep End. Though the core is acoustic, Cassidy takes us on a textural journey. Her dynamic range and inflection in tone is like a storyteller, full of depth and creative flow. In a way, it’s a trust fall, a leap of faith that she elucidates. Her vocal charm is mesmerizing, it brings in what the emotive core might be like for the protagonist. The acoustic guitar and lead moments are more than just fillers, they express as much as the vocals do. Cassidy Dickens shows us what its like to study a moment, a feeling. The result is the manifestation of it all, told effectively through lucid imagery and definitive detail, which makes it seem even more real. This is a musician that writes and performs from the heart. The result will always leave you spellbound. Moments of the movie 500 Days of Summer (2009) came to mind, hearing this. From Cassidy Dickens showcasing her writing to the brilliant use of instrumentals to aid the storyline, this song has it all. Clear Creek, All I’m Missing and Anxious Love are some of my favourites by Cassidy. Listen to her single and follow her for more!
