REVIEWS / SYNOPSIS

"Connection", his Easy Star Records debut, is aptly named. It's all about those deep-running connections that make him what he is—those unbreakable links between artist and audience, between styles of music, between art and life, and most of all, between all people. As Cas points out, reggae's core message is, after all, "one love."

His crystalline voice and funky, easygoing beats earned Cas a second-place finish on "America's Got Talent," which in turn netted him a measure of fame and a following. But the contest also locked the Texan singer/songwriter/guitarist into a major label deal that didn't feel right. So, not wanting to be turned into a manufactured product, he struck out on his own. The superb result: "Connection," a collection of songs basking in the philosophical and musical maturity that comes from staying true to his artistic vision.

Mixed by Danny Kalb (Ben Harper, Beck), "Connection" bristles with chill grooves, rocking guitars, and funky horns, all fueling Cas's irresistible melodies. Meanwhile his lyrics effortlessly balance simple, spiritual truths with thoughtful reflection. Cas's songs recognize the complexities of life—love, family, worldly troubles and uncertainties—but always comes back to the central message of connection.
