Chadio - Cousin of Lucy

Chadio had a bad breakup. We’ve all been there. And when it’s a long-term relationship that ends in cheating, it can be especially rough. How does one get over it? For Chadio, he channels the anger and grief into song. The result is Cousin of Lucy, a short album of breakup songs that serves as a spiritual successor to his No Wives Club (2021). Here he breaks down the break up, revealing the circumstances of the situation throughout but most of all on first single “Hear Me Out”, gets metaphorical with second single “Sweater Song” featuring Nolto, and gives voice to vengeful thoughts on opening song “Morning Breath Takers” and “At Peace”. But light shines through as Chadio looks forward to moving on with third single and album closer “Wrong Way”. Aside from the frantic, upbeat sound of that final song, the production from Aalo Guha and Pasquale is dark, sombre and often off-kilter. Chadio’s Cousin of Lucy is profoundly personal and also thoroughly universal.

Chadio - Sweater Song (DJ Pack)

 

Chadio sums up love quite perfectly with the opening line of the second single from his upcoming album: “You know it’s love when you’re not mad because she steals your sweater”. And this item of clothing becomes the metaphor for love as his relationship goes from good to bad, and he finally asks for the return of his sweater. It’s a novel approach to a love/break up song, and it’s given more heft thanks to the folk-pop singing of rapper-singer Nolto on the moody hook. “Sweater Song” is the obvious pick for a single as the catchiest and most relatable song on the 8-song collection of break-up songs that is Cousin of Lucy.
