I got so swept up in M for Montreal that I totally missed DEAD WEIGHT’s 1 yr anniversary 🥲. I wrote this song through a lot of pain and anger. At the root of it, I wrote it through love. It is a fragile exposure of part of my experience. I didn’t expect this song to go as hard as it has. It is bittersweet that it strikes a deep chord for listeners.
One of the best directional advice Mishka gave me when producing this song was to sing it less and lean into almost speaking/ whispering it. So the focus can be on the actual words I’m saying. That was such a good call.
Making the music video for this was also an awesome experience. Stephan really took the visual inspiration I gave him and ran with it. We had one evening to execute, and thanks to the amazing small team including my manager Malli and projectionist extraordinaire Piazza, we did.
I remember Malli submitting it for editorial playlist while we were shooting the music video.
Considering that making Spotify editorial is like “winning the lottery”, I feel deep gratitude for dead weights placement on two of those playlists.
The cover art for dead weight was actually a photo that was a spontaneous surprise. I was doing a shoot with Ana-Maria and she just randomly proposed this idea after I had already changed out of my clothes I wore for the shoot. Visually, it captured exactly how I feel in regard to the experience that the song is written about.
I can’t explain how I feel when I hear people in a crowded venue sing this back to me.
Thank you for listening and thank you for loving the song.
I left a snippet of the demo towards the end of this carousel. ❤️🩹
Happy 1 yr anniversary “dead weight”. To many more hearts you reach.
There’s a shadow in my room and it isn’t mine — my debut album is OUT today.
I am elated to see this come to full fruition. Looking back at all the moments during the creation, pre-prod and production phases; my heart is FULL.
Thank you for everyone involved, from production/ post production to live shows and marketing/ management. Thank you from the core of my being for believing in me and for supporting me every step of the way. Through all the moments. The good, the bad, the challenging and rewarding. I am eternally grateful for you.

NEW ARTIST
Very happy to welcome @_apacalda to the Fair Enough family in sync 🙏
APACALDA is the project of Montreal-based singer and composer Cassandra Angheluta, whose emotionally immersive music blends goth-tinged indie pop and electronic textures into a distinctive alternative sound.
The name APACALDA, meaning “warm water” in Romanian, symbolizes Angheluta’s cultural roots and, symbolically, the sense of healing and refuge she finds through music. With a growing reputation for striking honesty, atmosphere and sharp artistic direction, APACALDA is fast becoming one of Montreal’s most compelling new voices.
