Cassia are back with new single ‘Do Right’

Manchester trio Cassia are back with their first release ‘Do Right’ since their debut album.

Having released indie pop ridden LP ‘Replica’, Cassia have shifted their sound culturally after spending time in Cape Town, South Africa, to write the song.

Rob Ellis, Lou Cotterill and Jacob Leff delve deep into their jangly-pop-rock sound once again. ‘Do Right’ is a proper sunshine indie-pop sound with infectious vocal hooks, percussive stabs and intricate guitar work, this is a real statement of intent from the trio.

In South Africa, Rob used the landscape and culture to help shape the sound. A culmination of global influences that destroy genre boundaries on every level, ‘Do Right’s delicate guitar work and intricate percussion make for an uplifting indie-pop triumph. Not to mention the infectious vocal harmonies that transcend into new levels of sing-along melodies.

On the deeper meaning of the track, they add: “’Do Right’ was written in Cape Town where the landscape and culture helped to sculpt the sound and inspire the concept behind the lyrics. The idea for the song was triggered by a conversation I had with my friend Jeremy out there, he described to me in such detail devastating happenings around the world and it made me realize my own lack of awareness.

“I didn’t know a whole lot about what he was talking about and I felt ashamed. The lyrics draw on the idea that even if you find yourself inattentive to what is going on around you, you can still make that conscious decision to positively change what is happening now. I think understanding that you aren’t yet completely awake is the first step to living a much more fulfilled life.”
