Jump deep into the space of introspection with Cash & The Change’s fresh single ‘Hard to Breathe’!
‘Hard to Breathe’ will leave you wondering if you’re back in the 90s. But, there’s something refreshing and new about it. The 90s vibes come from the sound, but the production style also dashes in a bit of nostalgia with some standout sonics in the instrumentations but a bit of a softness in the the way the vocals are produced. The main instrumental riff, built with the bass and some guitar, serves as a great guidepost for the rest of the instrumentation to build off of. It has a good bit of atmosphere with a DIY sound, and it’s crafted seamlessly. The lyrics to this track provide a poignant tale of mental health struggles. The lyrics detail a messy room, self-medication, voices in the head, and feelings of entrapment.
Cash & The Change is an Abeline, Texas-based band who are known for the way they mix rock and country while dashing in 90s influences. On top of their releases, they’re known for putting a lot of energy into performances. Their goal is to bring fans together with electric sounds and deep songwriting. ‘Hard to Breathe’ is no stranger to this kind of deep lyricism. It serves as the bang they brought into the start of 2025, and with its nostalgic influences and modern sonics, there must be more excitement around the corner.
