Tulsa-based alt-rock singer-songwriter Casii Stephan is back. She unveiled a new song “Trapeze Artist” on February 6th. It was premiered exclusively on Billboard.
The song features silky vocals floating atop gushing piano and swirling strings and is her first single in two years since the 2018 “Letters”.
"I was trying to write another song, actually and trying to challenge myself -- 'OK, write a cute little love song,'" Casii Stephan told Billboard. "And it was turning out, I felt like crap. So I was sitting there going, 'Obviously this isn't working. What am I really feeling?'"
"I kind of go back and forth between soul and pop-rock," she said. "Musically I always like to stay in very acoustic instrumentation; I love electronic music, but I never felt like it fit where my heart and soul is and how I write songs. I love anything with strings and horns, and I'm a big fan of choirs. This (song) hits all of it."
Recently, she was nominated for “Pop Artist of the Year” and “Solo artist of the year” for the Tulsa Music Awards.- source : Billboard
