With a voice and live performance which triumphed over 600+ acts in a nationwide competition to support Ed Sheeran; Caswell and her band are without doubt one of the most exciting and dynamic live acts of the moment. Hailing from Suffolk, the journey began as a preteen writing songs on a second-hand piano after watching a musical episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

Ten years on, Caswell debuted her first works which quickly accumulated 400k+ Spotify streams and features on playlists Fresh Finds, New Music Friday and Chilled Pop Hits. Single Dance Sober caught the eye of ITV producers and was then used on This Morning for a fashion feature, with presenter Holly Willoughby describing it as “What we’re loving at the moment”. Soon after that Caswell opened for Pixie Geldof and Arlissa and was selected by BBC Introducing to play Latitude 2018, after which she was listed as a festival highlight on the official website alongside acts Wolf Alice and alt-J.

In her first release of 2020, ‘Distraction’ takes a bold look into the loneliness that we feel upon becoming newly single, all whilst trying to temporarily fill that void with meaningless, inebriated, intimate interactions. The downtempo electronic track highlights Caswell’s ability to create music with distinctive rich vocals laced with attractive soul and pop melodies. Questioning why the rebound is such a taboo topic to talk about (let alone write a song about), Caswell says,

“I like lyrically exploring thoughts or feelings that everyone has but seldom say aloud. We’ve all been there when we’ve desperately wanted a rebound whilst in the depths of a grievous break-up, in this song I’m directly asking a stranger if I can pretend they’re my ex-partner. Imagining someone other than who you are with is not something people will openly admit, so this song addresses that quite candidly.”
