With her latest piece of art offering, The Cassy Judy Mixtape, Cassy Judy delivers a bold, sincere, and vibrant statement of self-expression. Across seven tracks she brings together humour, emotional honesty and musical ambition in equal measure. From the opening track, ‘Learn to Love Again’, the mood is one of soft uplift: the gesture of renewed hope, underscored by her debut saxophone work, immediately signals that this is more than just another release.
What makes the mixtape compelling is how Cassy moves effortlessly between reflection and defiance. In ‘Love Letter to Society’ she channels her past life as a criminal lawyer into a pointed critique—but delivers it with warmth and clarity rather than bitterness. At the same time, tracks like ‘Xanthan Gum’ and ‘I’ve Come So Far (Calypso Version)’ prove she’s not afraid to let joy and playfulness dominate the soundscape.
Producer Derek J Turner’s work at the studio gives the EP a textured but accessible sound: nothing feels overly polished, instead the choices highlight Cassy’s rawness, her exploration, her willingness to take chances.
The Cassy Judy Mixtape is a triumph of authenticity. It sits well beyond genre boundaries, guided by voice and story rather than commercial dictate. For listeners seeking music with heart and character, this is a release well worth diving into.
