Casey Desmond’s album cover for Déjà Vu pretty much summarizes her music: vibrant, vivacious, funky, and on-fire. The electro-pop princess, fresh from her stint on the first season of “The Voice”, has given us an entire album filled with '80s pop fused with electro-dance songs. Her music is just so danceable and fun I found myself wanting to bust a move as I listened to it, and, quite frankly, I’m stunned Desmond isn’t being blasted at every club in the country at the moment!

 

 

Déjà Vu features tracks that are perfect for Top 40 radio. Her music reminds me of a cross between Lady Gaga and Robyn, as well as '80s pop icons like Cyndi Lauper. I particularly enjoyed listening to Desmond’s voice, which is strong yet pleasant, and flows nicely with her bouncy music. I thought that her voice really came to life on the tracks “Rendezvous”, my favorite from the album, as well as on the title track, "Déjà Vu".

 

Desmond co-wrote several of the songs along with Robert Ellis Orrall, and this is her third collaboration with bandmate Taylor Barefoot. The Boston native also designs all of her own costumes and merchandise for her music videos and performances (I would love to see her on “Project Runway”!). I personally am going to keep an eye on Desmond, as I think that we may be looking at the next great pop singer. I think that this is just the beginning for her.
