Cadre Scott Returns With a Beautifully Woven New Album

“An album release from Cadre Scott delivers such a beautiful approach to blending folk and elements of Americana, even hints of classic rock, and more, all with this almost vintage tonality, and a gorgeous approach to songwriting that gives off loads of personality, which is one of the biggest things you end up really getting attached to throughout the course of this album.

The Higher album certainly doesn't waste much time with its first track, "Sweeter", coming right in with this folky but slightly southern-toned guitar, followed by vocals that automatically pull you right in with her wonderful vibrato, which is one of the many staples I love about this artist. She just has such an inviting tone to her voice, and even the way she sings sort of captures those classic, almost 70s influences super well.

As the album unfolds, you hear it branch out in some different directions, but she definitely sticks to a lot of that old-school Americana and folk approach, and it fits perfectly with the way that she writes her music. It sounds like "Lovely" that you start hearing some of the classic rock coming in. This is the track that's got some electric guitar work and a unique time signature coming from the drums, which really made it stand out.

One of the things I loved about this track in particular is that it had this sort of open, almost breezy element to it that felt right and still didn't stray from the staples and influences that she obviously holds close to her heart.

This one was sort of refreshing, in its own way.

Her vocals had some brilliantly colorful melodies to them, and I love it when she doubles up her vocals but sings the same notes. There's just something about the feel and texture of the songs when she does that sort of thing.” Buzzslayers (Read More Here)

“The closing track on the record is the title track, "Higher", and it is definitely one of the songs that has that higher level of energy that comes across as completely infectious. This combines acoustic and electric guitars, layered on top of each other with such a brilliant approach, and her voice is just robust here. It's an attention-grabbing style, and it works wonders because not only is this track leaning more towards that classic Americana style, but it is also bursting with flavor and color. It's got character all over it. But then, the entire album does as well. This is a record I do not suggest skipping around on. I would say you should listen to this album all the way through from start to finish, in one shot. This way, you get all those layers and tones and soundscapes that you can drift along with, dance to, or sing along with at any given moment. She really captured that bit of vintage tonality and laced it throughout the record brilliantly.” Buzzslayers
