After the resounding success of his previous singles “Real Love” and “Day And Night” that garnered attention from notable platforms and tastemakers such as capital Xtra’s DJ Semtex, North West London’s dynamic rapper and songwriter, Casscade, is back with another compelling release, “Signs.” – A Reflective Anthem on Modern Realities. The artist, known for his unique blend of Hip-hop, Pop-rap and R&B, showcases his lyrical prowess and creativity once again, creating a track that resonates with authenticity and emotion.
This thought-provoking track delves into the complexities of contemporary life, exploring themes of deceit, moral decay, and the constant pursuit of validation in the age of social media.
Featuring powerful lyrics and a mesmerising melody, “Signs” opens with the poignant lines, “I can see the signs, game is sold, never told when it’s live. No returns, no receipts when you buy” which basically means; you never know what happens behind the scenes, you only see the end product and once you have bought into that product, you can’t return from it. The song takes listeners on a journey through the artist’s observations of a world filled with blurred lines and obscured truths.
The chorus resonates with a haunting repetition of the phrase “I can see the signs,” emphasising the artist’s keen perception of the decline of authenticity in today’s society. The verses skillfully weave a narrative of betrayal, self-reflection, and the struggle to maintain genuine connections in a world driven by superficiality.
The track doesn’t shy away from addressing the harsh realities of our time, touching on themes such as the obsession with social media validation, the consequences of spreading rumours, and the pursuit of materialistic gains at the expense of genuine human connections.
“Signs” is more than just a song; it’s a mirror reflecting the contemporary struggles and challenges faced by individuals navigating a world dominated by illusions and facades. Casscade encourages listeners to reflect on their own lives, relationships, and choices, urging them to break free from the confines of societal expectations and find authenticity in a world filled with signs.
