LECADE Releases Stripped Down Version of "Liquor & Cigarettes"
LECADE, born Cade Brinkley, has released a new version of his track "Liquor & Cigarettes" titled "Liquor & Cigarettes (Stripped Down)" on February 7, 2025, under Big Machine Records. This intimate rendition showcases his distinctive sound, offering listeners a more vulnerable artistic perspective.
In addition to "Liquor & Cigarettes," LECADE has released several other tracks in recent months. These include "Glass," "You Get Me," and "Bed We Made". His single "Next Town Over," released in November 2023, marked his debut with Big Machine Records after signing with the label.
The young artist, hailing from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, has been making waves in the country music scene with his unique blend of country melodies and hip-hop beats. LECADE's musical journey began at a young age, influenced by his father who played in honky tonks across the South. He initially experimented with hip-hop and pop-punk before finding his niche in country music, a genre he describes as "emo country" or "grunge country".
LECADE's sound is inspired by artists like Koe Wetzel, Parker McCollum, Juice WRLD, Kid Laroi, and Hardy. His music often touches on themes of heartbreak, small-town life, and the struggles of Southern America, drawing from his own experiences growing up in areas with prevalent alcoholism and drug use.
LECADE's rise to prominence has been swift, with his music garnering over 100 million streams and over 2M monthly listeners on Spotify. He has also amassed a significant following on social media, with over 200,000 followers on TikTok.
The artist's upcoming tour, titled "Liquor & Cigarettes Tour," is set to begin later this month, with stops in various cities across the United States. This tour, along with his recent releases, demonstrates LECADE's growing presence in the country music scene and his commitment to connecting with fans through live performances.
As LECADE continues to carve out his unique space in country music, he remains focused on consistently producing quality music that resonates with his audience. His blend of traditional country themes with modern production techniques and emotionally charged lyrics is helping to redefine the boundaries of the genre for a new generation of listeners.
