How much are you willing to sacrifice for your dreams? Cassidy Dickens has certainly sacrificed a lot. Moving away from her Virginian motherland and landing in Nashville, she’s pursued her artistic dream, championing a songwriting prowess that’s frankly quite impressive. Built over acoustic guitars and simple, relatable and heartfelt lyricism, Dickens is able to release music speaking to the listener’s heart, introspective gems encompassing the full spectrum of human consciousness and life’s deepest meaning. It’s this nuanced lyricism that makes Cassidy extremely relevant, even more when you factor in her evocative yet controlled vocal tone.
‘All I’m Missing’ is the project’s latest effort, a wonderful jump into soothing and poignant territories, channelling a strong sense of nostalgia and solace. In it, Cassidy Dickens asks herself what she’s missing from her home in Virginia, highlighting how every dream comes at a price. The Nashville resident’s vocals draw the listeners into the track, guiding them on a mesmerising and authentic journey, one where we can finally get to know Dickens on a deeper level.
Speaking about the inspiration behind ‘All I’m Missing’, the talented songwriter explains: “Choosing to move far away from the people and places you know and love is never easy, you tell yourself all your sacrifices are going to be worth it—and most days they are. But this song is about those in-between moments, when you find yourself feeling vulnerable and questioning whether you’ve gone down the right path.”
