On the heels of his most recent hit single "DOWN" with Dipha Barus, CADE returns to Ultra Music with a brand new single entitled "Kill Me Softly" with Diamond Pistols and Miles Wesley. A sonic mirage of future R&B, CADE shifts from dance music toplines to personal soulful melodies, real instruments, and electronic-influenced 808-driven production in his newest. Sweeping vocals courtesy of CADE drive the hip-hop laden track as production from Diamond Pistols (producer for Rich Brian, Lil Pump, & more) carries listeners into sweet serenity. An impressive departure from CADE's usual electronic-driven flare, "Kill Me Softly" is the beginning of a new era for the young star.

With Metropolis2104, I am able to place the listener in my metropolitan mega-city based in the year 2104. These 4 tracks detail a story of high-level government corruption and scientific testing, where a protagonist begins their quest to expose the truth of the government's unethical practices.”- chromonicci
