New York, NY – September 13, 2024 – Today, GRAMMY-nominated, Platinum-certified singer-songwriter Cassadee Pope has released the deluxe edition of her new album, Hereditary. As the voice behind the iconic 2000s pop punk group Hey Monday, Hereditary marks The Voice winner’s first full length following her shift from country back to her pop punk roots. Stream Hereditary Deluxe here: https://orcd.co/hereditarydeluxecp The album, that GRAMMY.com named as one of their top 15 Must-Hear Albums In July, is an emotional rollercoaster ride through the ups and downs of life, love and self-discovery. Each track is a testament to the journey we embark on, shaped by our upbringing and the legacies passed down through generations. Whether that’s love, betrayal or the intricate web of family dynamics, the title Hereditary captures the essence of our roots, the echoes of our past and the quest to carve our own path. The deluxe edition of Hereditary includes three new songs: “Say it Again,” ‘The Poet,” and “Bad Decisions.” “Say it Again” confronts insecurity in relationships, reflecting on how past experiences can color how we approach relationships in the present. It touches on themes of love and insecurity, but also personal growth and resilience, a continuing motif throughout Hereditary. The song includes nostalgic pop punk riffs and catchy melodies, making for a memorable and emotionally compelling, yet fun and lively track. Pope shows off her storytelling skills with cheeky lyrics tied into a track filled with crunchy guitar lines and energetic drum lines to create “The Poet.” The song calls out someone who may seem like the perfect partner, but who is ultimately “just a poet,” using words to create a false narrative. Recently released single, “Bad Decisions” is a relatable track reflecting on life’s twists, turns and unexpected journeys. The upbeat tune and lively melody reminds us that life is full of experiences and lessons that make us who we are. Encouraging listeners to find value in everyday life’s experience throughout each chapter of our lives, the song speaks to the common theme on the coming of age record, Hereditary, noting the importance of embracing our pasts and personal stories. “I wanted to release a deluxe version of Hereditary because there were other songs I wrote that didn’t make the album but feel important to tell my story. I look at these songs like bonus scenes at the end of movie credits. They help round out the story but give it a place to go.” – Cassadee Pope Listen to “Bad Decisions” here: https://orcd.co/baddecisionscp Watch the Official “Bad Decisions” Music Video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPo8uG1YdkU Hereditary Deluxe Tracklist - People That I Love Leave

**New Song But through it all – the Warped Tour parking lots, tours with Fall Out Boy and Yellowcard, CMT Awards and chart-topping singles – she’s always remained fearlessly, unapologetically herself. 15 years into her career, her confessional writing continues to redefine her place as a pop punk mainstay as she enters this renaissance with a new found sense of freedom. She just wrapped her successful U.S. Headlining Hereditary Tour and will be kicking off a North American run supporting multi-platinum-selling Canadian pop-rock band, Marianas Trench this September. There will be a limited supply of deluxe album vinyls that are only available at shows while supplies last. Take your pick from either black or clear pink records signed by Cassadee herself.

Pope’s first full-length since 2021’s Thrive marks her boldest, most resonant reimagining yet, a return to the upbeat, high-octane pop-punk sound she built her career on some 15 years ago. As a teenager, she and her band Hey Monday quickly rose to acclaim in the new-millennium emo scene, signing to Pete Wentz’s Decaydance and releasing a pair of cult classics via Decaydance/Columbia. In her 20s, she launched a country music career, headlined by a first-place finish on The Voice, a chart-topping album (2013’s Frame by Frame) and platinum singles (“Wasting All These Tears On You” and “Think of You” with Chris Young). Now, in her third decade, Pope is truly back where she belongs – aided by the benefit of years of personal introspection and a desire to fully understand her true identity. Her comeback single, “People That I Love Leave,” was released to critical and fan acclaim in 2023: features in PEOPLE and Rolling Stone, a performance at the historic Rose Bowl Parade, guest DJ sets at Emo Nite LA, a top 5 slot on TikTok’s Pop Music playlist and a special appearance at the 2023 When We Were Young festival duetting with Yellowcard, Simple Plan and Michelle Branch. The album’s 12 tracks are, in many ways, the reclamation of the grief Pope has experienced throughout her life, whether she’s laughing off the pain (“Rom Coms,” an ode to perfectly imperfect relationships), lamenting her own propensity for self-sabotage (“People That I Love Leave”), boldly embracing her sexuality (“Almost There”), leading a ceremonial eulogy for a failed flame (“I Died,” a collaboration with “The Rap Girl” Daisha McBride) or helping a loved one navigate the strains of addiction (“Three Of Us”). The album is the result of a decade and a half as a professional songwriter, yes, but also a relatively newfound willingness to unlock the why behind her feelings. After years spent inside the machine, everything’s come full circle for Cassadee Pope, though she’s now finally confident enough to sit back and enjoy what’s to come.
