Grammy-nominated, Platinum-certified singer-songwriter, Cassadee Pope, shares a new rock version of her massive hit, ’Wasting All These Tears,’ in celebration of the 10th anniversary of the song. Produced by Cassadee and former Hey Monday bandmate, Alex Lipshaw, this version breathes a new life into the seminal track and marks a full circle moment for her as she further cements her place in the scene.
Speaking on the song, Cassadee shares: “‘Wasting All These Tears’ changed my life when it came out ten years ago. It’s a song I’ll be performing for the rest of my career and one that’s managed to take on many new lives. In my move back to my pop punk roots, I wanted to take WATT with me. I thought who better to produce this with me than my old bandmate, Alex Lipshaw, from Hey Monday? The process was cathartic and sentimental… We truly did have the best time making this new version. ‘Wasting All These Tears (Cassadee’s Version)’ feels like a true depiction of the angst and frustration in the lyrics… it feels like coming home.”
Pope returns with her most joyously authentically statement yet, effortlessly sliding into the ebullient pop-punk sound that defined the late ’00s with unbridled energy, sugar pill melodies, and away message-ready wordplay. Now, with a tremendous sense of freedom guiding her and a forthcoming album set to once again amplify her confessional writing and redefine her place as a pop-punk mainstay, the future’s open wide in ways she previously thought impossible – leaving no doubt she’s exactly where she’s meant to be.
