344. Cass Eager, Australian's Finest Singer/Songwriter, It’s The Way She Feels About You!
Cass Eager is a modern soul singer with a sound that embodies old-school cool with bold sexy optimism. Her sound takes its cue from a vintage sonic swagger a-la Amy Winehouse, but she’d be just as much at home drinking martinis with Andra Day, Brittany Howard and Nancy Sinatra at her favourite lounge bar in LA.Cass’s soul-leaning, sun-seeking songs remind you that if the champagne glass isn’t already full,then it’s at least half-full (and definitely never empty). Her signature chocolate-coated vocals are drenched in a feel-good vibe, and her megawatt smile and natural charisma draw you in with gravitational force.It isn’t just Cass’ new single “The Way I Feel About You” and its crowd-sourced video that have captured the imagination of her fans and industry. Cass’s acclaimed last single “Ain’t No Stopping Me ” hit over 1.7M streams on a recent US Hyundai commercial. Her music has also been featured on a US McDonalds ad, as well as multiple TV shows on Amazon Prime, Nine Network, and the E channel. So strap up your seatbelts, and let’s take a ride to Australia by way of LA California on this episode of the dHarmic Evolution podcast.
As a Preview
Cass Eager is our highlight in this episode, Cass is a soulful singer and discusses her two latest singles and a behind the scenes look into the creation of “the way I feel about you”. A lot of introspection, we talk about Cass’ experience in co-writing, from dislike to joy. We talk about family, her agent husband and motherhood. We also talk about pushing ourselves when we have a supporter, a producer like Billy Elfer. Trust us, this episode is definitely one of a kind. Wanna know the Australian word for hiking?
