CADE has just unleashed his latest single, ‘Love To Be Let Down’, hitting streaming platforms today as a raw testament to his independent evolution. The 28-year-old Tampa native, now calling Los Angeles home, has carved a lane in electronic music with a sound that stitches together nostalgic melodies, heartfelt vocals, and cutting-edge production. His resume boasts heavy-hitting collabs with Cheat Codes, Desiigner, and Lil Aaron, plus remixes for icons like Jennifer Lopez and James Arthur. The Cheat Codes rework of Maggie Lindemann’s ‘Pretty Girl’ racked up over 900 million Spotify streams, snagging RIAA Platinum status in the US and UK, while his 2021 track ‘Down’ with Dipha Barus nabbed an AMI Award for Best Dance Collaboration. With releases on labels like Spinnin’ Records and Ultra Records, CADE’s genre-bending chops and music theory roots shine through, cementing him as a standout in the electronic scene.
The track itself, ‘Love To Be Let Down’, digs into the messy aftermath of heartbreak with a sound that’s equal parts vulnerable and electrifying. It’s built on a backbone of smooth basslines and synth-pop glitches, paired with melodies that linger long after the beat drops. CADE’s vocals cut deep, carrying lyrics that wrestle with timing, loss, and the grind of modern dating—think emotional resilience set to a pulsing, bittersweet groove. It’s a tight blend of retro vibes and slick production, making it both a gut-punch and a playlist staple.
CADE opens up about the single’s core, saying, “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.” This is CADE unfiltered, channeling personal chaos into a track that’s as real as it is replayable.
