Cassandra Baratto's debut single, "Buried Words," is released on Spotify, YouTube, Amazon, and iTunes, and she makes a mighty first impression. This is a pop ballad on the somber side with soul-stirring realities in Baratto when it comes to lingering heartbreak. You have to go and hear the emotions of lost love and words they never said.
"Buried Words" was written and composed during a time of intense emotions, during a period of personal reflection, which came about as a result of a breakup during which Cassandra amassed many unresolved emotions. Then, a year passed since the affair ended, and all those suppressed feelings burst forth, crying to be released. Partnering with the producer Marco Malavasi, she channeled that emotional disarray into deeply cathartic musical form.
"Buried Words" is about everything I never said when I was there," Baratto says. "It's how I let go of those feelings and get closure. And I hope others who have gone through heartbreak can relate to it and feel less alone."
With evocative melodies and disarmingly honest lyrics, "Buried Words" highlights Baratto's gift for turning raw emotion into her songs. Her mesmerizing voice exudes fragility and power, it is the kind of song written in the soul long after the last note.
With the arrival of Cassandra Baratto, we have an authentic, fearless voice in the pop music scene. As she emerges into the spotlight, "Buried Words" is a brilliant debut that promises more poignant tale-telling in the future.
