Americana folk singer and songwriter Cashavelly Morrison has released her first single "Long-Haired Mare". The song is a beautiful, atmospheric ballad with raw and painful lyrics. Paired with Morrison's bright and melodic voice, it forms a powerful contrast, giving the song much depth.
According to Morrison, she wanted to write a song about a mother who saves her daughter from abuse, but is ultimately punished for it. Being interested in systems of a family and the normalization of certain roles within the family, Morrison explores these themes in her lyrics.
Together with her husband Ryan MacLeod, who plays the guitar and composes music around Morrison's melodies, they form a folk duo with strong Americana atmosphere.
Her music blends the sounds of traditional American roots along with Appalachian ballads, deriving inspiration from her years of growing up in a coal mining town in West Virginia. For her, music is a way to address to racial prejudices in the U.S and the need for equal rights for women and children.
Cashavelly Morrison is currently working on her debut album The Kingdom Belongs to a Child, which will be out in September.
