Album Review- ‘Summer’ EP by Cassadee Pope

As summer begins, many new tunes are sure to be heard while listening to country radio stations, one of which will be released from powerhouse vocalist Cassadee Pope this month, “Summer.” The Summer EP was released on June 3rd and has been a highly anticipated EP among fans, who have anxiously been waiting for another album. Pope, winner of The Voice Season 3, has not released an album since her debut to country music with Frame By Frame.

Pope  was not one to disappoint, releasing four tunes that easily capture the essence of summer and individuality. Lyrics such as “you played me like a piano” (“Piano,”Track 2) and “somehow they mean more, kisses at airports” (“Kisses at Airports,” Track 3) draw a diverse crowd in, from vengeful teenagers with broken hearts to grown adults with a loved one overseas. Each song shows off the powerhouse vocal capabilities that allowed her to win The Voice, and captures your attention with catchy beats. If you are a fan of “Think Of You” (By Chris Young and Cassadee Pope), this EP is very similar to the hit song and is just for you! Even though the EP is called Summer, we think we might just have this stuck in our heads long after summer comes to an end!

A full length album is expected from Pope in the future, but for now you can check out Summer and the fun, summer-break reminiscent music video that goes along with the single here. If you find the songs as catchy as we do and want to sing along with her in person, you can see Cassadee Pope live on tour this fall with Chris Young!

It’s an album you won’t get tired of listening to because it’s not the same sound, as so many albums can often be. Some may criticize that some of the songs aren’t “country enough” but for those who enjoy a mix of genres, this album is perfect!

Kristy Lee Cook shared exclusively with Variety Beat, how much releasing new music means to her:

“Getting the chance to release some more music is such a great feeling. I’m so thankful to everyone at Broken Bow for believing in me and continuing to support my career.  I can’t wait to see what people think of these songs.”

All four songs are upbeat and instantly catchy. Cook co-wrote two of the songs “Everything” and the title track “All Kinds Of Crazy.”

‘ALL KINDS OF CRAZY’ EP REVIEW

“Everything” immediately draws you in with the catchy banjo strumming and keeps the tempo going throughout the course of the entire song. Baby tell me what you need, I’m open to anything.

“Ruined” has a chorus that will get stuck in your head and never leave. You’ll instantly be singing along If I ever lose you, what am I suppose to do? Baby I’m ruined, Baby I’m ruined. How am I suppose to kiss anybody else’s lips? Baby I’m ruined. I’m so ruined by you.

“What We Got” is perfect for those mushy couples who seem to be #RelationshipGoals. Even if you aren’t in a relationship, after listening to this song you’ll be wishing you got what they got! Everybody’s gonna want we got, Gonna wanna find a love that’s this hot. They gonna wish they had a kiss like we got, like we got. 

“All Kinds Of Crazy” is a song you’ll want to blast in the car, especially once you hit the chorus. There are some less uptempo parts of the song, but once you hit that chorus, it will get your heart racing! You’ve got my heart racing baby, it’s going all kinds of crazy. So why don’t we just roll on with this moment, baby the night is ours so let’s own it.
