Kaitlin Cassady "North Star" Album Review

September 25, 2025 by SUMMIT . in Album Review

With North Star, Kaitlin Cassady avoids the sophomore slump entirely. It’s a record unafraid of vulnerability, of beauty, of speaking plainly about things most people keep buried.

Pushing the gas pedal a little too angsty while the Twin City skyline fades into the rearview mirror.
