CADE Pours His Heart Out On Highly Personal, Synth-Pop Tinged Dance Single “Love To Be Let Down.” Out Now as Self-release
CADE is a 28-year-old singer, songwriter, and producer known for blending nostalgic melodies, emotional lyricism, and sleek electronic production into a sound that’s both evocative and forward-thinking. Originally from Tampa, Florida and now based in Los Angeles, he grew up studying music theory and playing instruments, laying the groundwork for his genre-blurring approach. He’s released music with major labels like Spinnin’ Records, Armada Music, and Ultra Records, and built a diverse catalog that spans moody ballads to high-energy anthems. CADE’s collaborations include Cheat Codes, Desiigner, Lil Aaron, and Dipha Barus, and he’s delivered remixes for artists such as James Arthur, Jennifer Lopez, and Maggie Lindemann—his remix of Lindemann’s “Pretty Girl” with Cheat Codes has surpassed 900 million Spotify streams and earned Platinum status in the US and UK.
Now moving independently, CADE continues to evolve his artistry with a focus on creative control and cultural influence. His 2021 collaboration “Down” with Dipha Barus won an AMI Award for Best Dance Collaboration, affirming his global appeal. Beyond music, his passion for fashion and visual storytelling is woven into his brand, positioning him as a multifaceted creative force at the intersection of pop, electronic music, and youth culture.
“Everybody tells me I should try writing something happier, but the simple truth is, I feel most drawn to the studio when something is weighing on my soul. No one ever told me how much worse a breakup can feel when no one did anything wrong, and the love wasn’t lost. Even though the intentions were pure on both sides, somehow things unraveled the same way. I’m just learning how to be on my own again, and it’s harder than I remember. Whether it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy or just the emotional wear and tear of dating in the digital age, ‘Love To Be Let Down‘ captures the chaos of loving fully and losing constantly – with honesty, clarity, and a sonic edge.” – CADE
CADE’s newest independent single, “Love To Be Let Down,” marks his most emotionally raw and sonically experimental release to date. Blending his signature heartfelt vocals with glitch-tinged synth-pop, gently undulating basslines, and nostalgic melodies, the Tampa-born, LA-based artist crafts a poignant portrait of mutual heartbreak. The track captures the quiet pain of two people growing apart despite pure intentions, set against a soundscape that feels both tender and forward-thinking.
Lyrically, CADE explores themes of timing, disillusionment, and emotional resilience—offering a confessional reflection on dating in the digital age. As he continues to carve out his path as an independent artist, “Love To Be Let Down” not only showcases his evolution as a producer and songwriter but also reinforces his place as a deeply resonant voice in modern electronic pop.
