Cadium Music’s 2025 Year In Review

Cadium Music’s 2025 had plenty of untimely turns, but overall it was still quite productive. The year in review: "Good in Goodbye" Last year’s “Good in Goodbye” by Catch Your Breath, co-written by Curtis Martin and Chris Linck, was more or less limping into '25, but Cadium’s social media marketing campaign in the spring helped to get the song more exposure. The biggest takeaway was that 46 percent of listeners played the track at least 75 percent of the way through - off of a visualizer (no formal video accompanied the track) - which in the Social Media world is a great statistic. [...]

The Status on Catch Your Breath’s Best Song, “Good in Goodbye”

[NOTE: this is probably a long read, so if you're looking for immediate gratification, listeners like the song, regardless of the lack of promotion it has received.] A little over a year ago, "Good in Goodbye," the last track on Catch Your Breath’s debut album, Shame On Me, was released. Unfortunately, the song went out into the world with little fanfare. The “why” would require a whole other blog entry, but the point is that even though very little was done to promote the song and even though there was no formal video to accompany the melancholy, downtempo rock track, it is one [...]

2024 – Cadium Music Publishing’s Year in Review

Cadium Music's 2024 had some interesting highlights and some unexpected turn of events, as well. The Expected and Unexpected Going into the year with multiple releases from Attila was to be expected, but the ebb of releases from Rachel Lorin was not. The New York pop/rocker made some changes to her creative team in the hopes of taking her act to another level. As of this writing, it looks like there will be some results from Lorin's recalibration with at least one song dropping in the first quarter of next year. It wasn't entirely a plateau moment for Lorin, though, as she recorded [...]

Cadium Music’s 2023 in Review

The year for Cadium had a nice string of highlights, as the company signed metal act Attila, and pop artist Rachel Lorin, amongst some other notable moments. Attila Attila is in the midst of a re-birth, dropping new songs throughout 2023 and gaining some traction at outlets, such as Octane (Sirius XM), with “Bite Your Tongue” and “FU4EVR.” The Atlanta-based quartet toured Europe over the summer and completed a U.S. run, shortly thereafter. The guys will continue to release new material throughout 2024. Rachel Lorin Rachel Lorin continued to release new material this year with some stand-outs, such as “Lifeline,” and “Sugar Baby,” [...]

Great Songs You Might Not Have Heard Of

Cadium Music Publishing has added an additional playlist to its Spotify account. Titled, Great Songs You Might Not Have Heard Of, the list shines a light on non-Cadium tracks that haven't received the attention they deserve. The obvious question is why would Cadium do that? While Cadium is proud of its writer roster and always wants more people to be exposed to the many great songs in its catalog, there is never enough great material being exposed to consumers. (How many times do we complain about some of the mediocre music on the airwaves?) Another reason is that this list can serve to [...]

The Lack of Song Quality in Today’s Rock Acts

Gene Simmons continues to claim that rock is dead. The ongoing dialogue by Simmons and others on this topic fascinates me, because the lack of song quality in today's rock acts rarely, if ever, enters the conversation in this debate. In an article in Metal Injection by Greg Kennelty, Kennelty takes on Simmons' point of view on the life or death matter, and while I don't believe that fans killed the genre due to streaming, a Simmons opinion, some subscribers to Metal Injection offered their reason for the lack of dominance in the genre. While I respect some of [...]
