JUST LOOK AT THE MOON
LATEST PROJECT
From heartfelt love songs (“Labels,” “Only Human”) to existential reflections (“Moon,” “Fresh Start”), the 7-track EP demonstrates his remarkable range — vocally, sonically, and lyrically. “I managed to get much more existential with this project, for better or worse,” he says. “The more I give to music and the pursuit of it, the more detached from reality I become, and there’s a lot of that in here.”
The EP features a range of musical guests and collaborators, like Rob Moose (Sufjan Stevens, Phoebe Bridges, Taylor Swift), Harper James (Eighty Ninety, James Bay, Aaron Taos), Bobby Hawk (Taylor Swift, The 1975, Florence and the Machine), and Jesse Blum (Twenty One Pilots, MisterWives, Nas) that amplify the record’s richly textured sound.
Following his 2021 EP ‘Tell Me How It’s Worth It’ and 2022 EP ‘Everything That’s Wrong With You,’ ‘Just Look at the Moon’ showcases Cade’s growing confidence as an artist, songwriter, and producer. In just a few short years, the 23-year-old has gone from writing songs in his bedroom to working alongside legendary musicians and producers. With his steadfast determination and undeniable talent, Cade Hoppe is one of indie-pop’s most exciting young stars.
Everything That's Wrong With You
Sophomore EP
On the heels of his 2021 debut EP, ‘Tell Me How It’s Worth It,’ ‘Everything That’s Wrong with You’ is a five song collection that fully documents Cade’s growing confidence as both a songwriter and artist. The EP includes his 2022 singles, “Hurts” and “Morphine,” as well as 3 brand new songs, all of which he produced with Harper James.
Elaborating on the EP as a whole, Cade says: “’Everything That’s Wrong with You’ is about finding yourself, and choosing the version of you that makes you happiest over the version of you that pleases others. It might feel like the world is ending when the people that are supposed to love you unconditionally don’t approve of who you’re becoming, but then again, I think that says a lot more about them than it does about you.”
TELL ME HOW IT'S WORTH IT
DEBUT EP
Tell Me How It's Worth It is the debut EP for indie pop newcomer Cade Hoppe. Working with Brooklyn-based producer Harper James (of Eighty Ninety), he has put together a selection of five tracks that hit the sweet spot between hazy indie rock and catchy pop.
On the EP, Cade’s distinct baritone vocals deliver meaningful vignettes of love, loss, transition, and desire with lyrics that wade through a gamut of emotions and experiences: he explores the pain of wanting someone or something you can’t have (“Loverly High”), taking blind leaps of faith (“On My Way Down”), unrequited love (“Click Boom Run”), not knowing how to say goodbye (“Borrowed Time”), and learning to accept love from those who love you just as you are (“Afterparty”).
