Australian rocker CASSIDY PARIS is excited to announce the release of her sophomore album, ‘Bittersweet,’ out now via Frontiers Music Srl. To celebrate, CASSIDY shares her new single and official visualizer “Finish What We Started,” available to view below.
Talking about her new single, CASSIDY shares:
“‘Finish What We Started’ is a powerful anthem about perseverance, staying committed, and pushing through the chaos life throws our way. The song captures the raw struggle of trying to find direction when everything feels overwhelming. But it’s not just about the hardships – it’s about resilience. In a world where social media makes everyone look flawless, the song exposes the pressure to keep up and the courage it takes to stay real.”
“I don’t care if we fall as long as we finish what we started,” CASSIDY added. “A reminder that falling isn’t the end – giving up is. ‘Finish What We Started’ is for anyone fighting to stay committed, stay brave, and keep moving forward.”

Known for her distinctive blend of ‘80s-inspired rock attitude with a modern twist, CASSIDY PARIS is stepping confidently into her own identity as an artist with ‘Bittersweet,’ the powerful follow-up to her acclaimed 2023 debut album ‘New Sensation.’
“My debut album was ‘80s infused with a current vibe,” CASSIDY explained. “With ‘Bittersweet,’ I’m stepping even more into who I am as an artist – influenced by icons like Debbie Harry, Pat Benatar, Joan Jett, and Lita Ford, but always with my own spin on things.
“This is the most honest and raw I’ve ever been with songs. This record feels like it’s a part of me. Like reading a diary of my life over the past couple of years. Releasing this is both so exciting and equally emotional because, when I started, I had no idea of the journey I would go on personally in my life”, she added. “It makes me beam with happiness that these songs are yours now. This record is love, strength, and immense heartbreak. It’s emotions on a level I didn’t even know existed prior to this season of life. It truly lives up to its name in its entirety. I hope you too love it as much as I did creating it.”
Featuring songwriting contributions from Paul Laine and Steve Brown, ‘Bittersweet‘ showcases CASSIDY’s growth not just as a performer but as a songwriter with a message. Lyrically honest and emotionally charged, the album balances hook-filled anthems with heartfelt ballads, capturing both vulnerability and strength.
CASSIDY continues to stand out as a passionate voice in modern rock, not only for her music but for her advocacy. A strong supporter of Metalheads Against Bullying, she regularly performs in schools around Melbourne, using her platform to inspire resilience and authenticity in young fans.

As a teenager growing up in Australia, there’s likely very few others out there with ambitions of being a “rock star.” Especially considering rock music isn’t exactly regarded by the mainstream as the “coolest” thing in the 2020’s. However, 22 year old CASSIDY PARIS is an exception.
CASSIDY is determined to make rock music a ‘cool’ thing again and inspire a new generation of younger fans to not only listen to rock ‘n’ roll, but maybe even pick up a guitar, instead of a phone.
At the age of 11, CASSIDY met singer songwriter Paul Laine (ex Danger Danger, The Defiants), who developed a unique mentoring role. Paul took CASSIDY under his wing to help develop her as an artist and songwriter, collaborating with her in songwriting and producing her music.
From early on, CASSIDY has wanted to deliver a strong message through her music. In 2018 she released the song “Stand,” a heartfelt song about standing up for yourself as a young woman.
Having already performed in the USA, UK, and Japan, CASSIDY’s global fanbase continues to grow rapidly. Despite the postponement of some European dates due to personal circumstances, she is planning to return stronger than ever with new shows in the UK and Ireland.
With ‘Bittersweet,’ CASSIDY PARIS reaffirms her position as one of rock’s most exciting young talents – bringing heart, power, and purpose to every note.
CASSIDY is endorsed by Fender Guitars, Ernie Ball & Wornstar Clothing.
BAND LINE UP:
Cassidy Paris – vocals
Pete Lesperance – guitar solo
Stevie Janevski – guitar & bass
