Electro-pop artist Caz9 first caught our attention with the release of her Phase II EP back in 2017, including tracks like ‘Running’ and ‘Want To Wake’ that we liked a lot.
This Thursday she’s playing our Future Proof gig in BelloBar and yesterday she gave us a taster of what to expect ‘Walk it Off’, a new collaborative track with Dublin-based producer CIDOT.
It’s is a cheerful and quirky beat driven song that features CIDOT’s signature synths, rolling bass and intricate percussion lines that lay the perfect bed for Caz9’s vocal delivery and melodies.
Thematically, the song was inspired by a festival performance Caz9 did last year that left her feeling underwhelmed and required ‘walking off’. She translated this energy into the track and the result is an uplifting anthem about picking yourself up after you’ve fallen down. She said that the collaboration with CIDOT was born very naturally:
“I showed him a few tracks in progress and before we knew it, new songs were pouring out of us in a really intuitive way. It’s been such a joy to write this collection, bringing our two musical backgrounds together to create something new to both of us.”
The song is taken from their upcoming collaborative album Collide (date TBC), a project that they say “flits from dance, to drum & bass, to house and dark wave”.
