Bittersweet
Cassidy Paris

Cassidy Paris from Australia is known for her 80's inspired rock attitude with a modern twist.When Cassidy was 11 Paul Laine (Ex Danger Danger,The Defiants) took her under his wing & also a mentor helped her develop her as a songwriter and artist collaborating with her in song writing and producing her music.Cassidy has always delivered a strong message in her music as well as been an advocacy and a strong supporter of Metalheads Against Bullying regularly performing in schools around Melbourne."Stand" was Cassidy's debut single in 2018 a heartfelt song about standing up for yourself as young woman,Fast forward to 2023 signing to Frontiers Music and releasing her debut album "New Sensation".Cassidy has started to see her worldwide fanbase grow, has already toured in Japan,USA and the UK,with dates already booked in for a 2026 with another tour of the UK & Ireland Cassidy goes from strength to strength with huge support from her family and loyal fans.
After Cassidy's superb debut album "New Sensation" which I personally think was one of best debut albums of 2023,also being one of my top ten albums of that year the follow up is here."Butterfly" the lead single from kicks off this album with great fire & energy.A well written track,Cassidy's vocals are a perfect match to the melody, also the flow of the song which all equate to a great Modern Rock track."Nothing Left To Lose" has some solid crunchy guitar riffs,the rhythm is solid, with the vocals full of honesty,resentment,hurt and attitude."Finish What We Started" is the perfect mix of 80's rock from artists such as Pat Benatar,Lita Ford with plenty of fresh modern elements,a great pop rock number which is punchy,full of hooks with an infectious chorus."Wannabe" is that perfect modern rock/pop song which has worldwide hit written all over it oozing attitude,catchy melodies with an ear worm in your face chorus.The second single "Getting Better" has positivity,the title says it all,another,after the acoustic lead in the track,which then kicks in with strong rhythm,the chorus is anthemic another strong offering which lyrically will resonate with many."Give Me Your Love" is a bluesy rock track,full of sass,attitude and fun.Some solid bright guitar work with acoustic touches start "Can't Let You Go" which is track with a slower tempo,a beautiful ballad with some fantastic heartfelt vocals full of emotion that show just what a great singer Cassidy is.
"Undecided" and "Sucker For You Love" are another two rockers which are full of chugging guitars and motor along booth great tracks which fit the album perfectly.With the perfect contrast of tracks "Brand New Day" is another anthemic pop/rock number,before another slower track "Is Anybody Out There" which changes the mood of the album before we come to another infectious number in the shape of "Turn Around And Kiss Me" which deserves chart success,certainly a better number than material released by artists such as Avril Lavigne,P!nk etc."Stronger" finishes the album in style which is Cassidy's anthem, a strong defiant message and a two fingers to the personal turmoil earlier this year. Pardon the pun,but Cassidy Paris is back and she is stronger! You have to respect her for dusting herself down,picking herself up, clawing back with grit,determination and such bravery.The result is a brilliant second album which has 13 superbly written and performed,produced tracks, with Paul Laine being the perfect mentor guiding Cassidy.This is a great album which is only the start for Cassidy Paris,who is leading the female charge & landscape of Hard Rock music, superb stuff."Bittersweet" is out now via Frontiers Music.
