Cassadee Pope is an American singer/songwriter who was previously in a touring pop-rock band called Hey Monday, which formed in 2008, but is currently on a hiatus as of Dec. 2011.
Pope started her solo career, which began in December of 2011, and she let her fans know that the band had not “broken up.” In early 2012, she played her first acoustic solo tour before releasing her debut solo EP titled, Cassadee Pope EP. She took part in the third season of NBC’s The Voice and became the season winner on Dec. 18, 2012; also the first female winner of The Voice. Her debut solo country album, Frame by Frame, was released on Oct. 8. Here is what I thought about each of the 11 tracks on the album:“Good Times”: The song has an upbeat tempo with a pull into the beginning of the song. The title of the song makes you really want to have a ‘Good Time’ after listening to it.
“Champagne”: The song starts off instrumental, and is very moving, and then is accompanied by Cassadee’s vocals.
“Washing All These Tears”: The beginning of the song has a serious tone to it and makes you want to listen to the meaning of the lyrics and what she is trying to say.
“I Wish I Could Break Your Heart”: The meaning to this song is really strong, and you can tell by the way Cassadee arranges her vocals throughout the song.
“Everybody Sings”: This song starts off by her singing, la dada dada la dada dada, and it is very catchy and made me want to listen to see what came next. The lyrics of this song also are very clever and fit well together.
“You Hear a Song”: The song has a slow tempo which makes you want to sway back and forth with all your friends while listening to her voice. To me, this song is emotional and touches you with what she is trying to say.
“This Car”: The way she starts off the song with, woah ohh, and then goes into her lyrics, pulled my attention.
“One Song Away”: The start of this song has the guitar followed by drums. The tempo of this song is steady and slow, and you can understand the concept of what she is trying to express.
“Easier to Lie”: The lyrics to this song are very clever and you can relate to what she is saying if you have been through the situation she explains throughout the song.
“11”: I really loved the melody and the way she sings the lyrics in this song. I also enjoyed how she had the guitar accompany her vocals throughout the song.
“Proved You Wrong”: This song is catchy and the lyrics are incredible, which fit together well. She has that passion in her voice that makes the song strong like her lyrics.
