"Till They Do" - single by Cassandra 

Release Date: August 2, 2024

What You Should Know: "This has been such a fun project to create as I blend my passions of opera and Pop music. This song could’ve taken a number of forms, but the theme of, “Till They Do,” came about like this:

1. I wanted to make a song with Puccini’s “O mio babbino caro”
2. That piece is written for a damsel in distress
3. I am not a damsel in distress and love female power anthems
4. Should there be mob wife vibes?? Yes. Crime of passion vibes??? Double yes.
5. @jasonthrem created this incredible track with my opera sample
6. @eitansnydermusic and I cooked up the fun lyrics in this song
7. After recording and the hundreds of steps it takes to make, record, and release a song, it now hits your ears!

Beyond proud of this one and hope you love it."

Each song has a very specific story and are very special to me. They are meant to help people going through tough times, whether that’s with their partner, family, friends, at school, work, etc."
