Genre-bending singer, songwriter, and producer CADE returns with his most personal release yet: “Love To Be Let Down” — a soul-stirring, synth-pop-infused dance track released independently. Known for his signature blend of heartfelt lyricism and forward-thinking production, the Tampa-born, Los Angeles-based artist leans into raw vulnerability on this new single, crafting a song that’s equal parts intimate confession and polished sonic exploration.
Built around emotive vocals and lush electronic textures, “Love To Be Let Down” pairs shimmering synths with glitched-out flourishes and undulating basslines, creating a soundscape that is both modern and nostalgically melodic. The track reflects the quiet ache of a mutual heartbreak — when love is still present, but circumstances lead to parting ways. CADE explores themes of timing, emotional exhaustion, and the fragility of human connection in the digital age, transforming personal reflection into a relatable, danceable anthem.
“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
