CAUTIOUS CLAY
.
Deadpan Love, the hotly anticipated debut album from New York based singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Cautious Clay, is out today independently via The Orchard. Stream it HERE and watch the visualiser for new single ‘Shook’ HERE. Wrapping influences from R&B, hip hop and indie pop, the record follows acclaimed singles ‘Strange Love‘ featuring rising Chicago rapper SABA, ‘Wildfire,’ ‘Karma & Friends,’ ‘Roots,’ ‘Dying In The Subtlety,’ and ‘Agreeable.’
Of the release, Cautious Clay shares: “’Deadpan Love’ is something that I have inside me; the way I cope with the worst of what the world has to offer. So much of life and relationships are spent in grey areas—we mistreat the people we love and we’re friendly with the people we hate. This is an album about those complexities in friendship, investigating toxic behaviour and self-worth.”
Cautious has collaborated with a host of notable co-writers for the album including Tobias Jesso Jr. (Adele, HAIM), Jim-E Stack (Caroline Polachek, Empress Of), Daniel Nigro (Olivia Rodrigo, FINNEAS), Jesse Shatkin (Sia, Kelly Clarkson), Ammar Malik (Maroon 5, Halsey) and Sir Nolan (Shawn Mendes, Selena Gomez).

Cautious will appear in the second season of the critically acclaimed Forest Whitaker drama ‘Godfather of Harlem’. Reprising his role as the leader of the Geechee Band from the first season, he will appear throughout the season and is working on original music for the show.
Since the release of his breakout debut single ‘Cold War‘ three years ago, 28-year-old Cautious Clay has been on a whirlwind ride. He’s released three EPs—Table of Context, RESONANCE, and debut Blood Type—that have earned critical praise from The New York Times, The New Yorker, NPR, TIME, Complex and many more. His songs have soundtracked key scenes in films like Olivia Wilde’s Booksmart and TV shows like Issa Rae’s ‘Insecure’ and Selena Gomez’s ’13 Reasons Why.’ He was enlisted personally by FINNEAS for a remix of Billie Eilish’s breakout ‘Ocean Eyes,’ his music has been sampled by Taylor Swift (Lover), and he’s written songs with John Legend and John Mayer. He’s linked up with the who’s-who of next generation talent recently collaborating with Ruel on ‘Say It Over’ and sharing ‘Cheesin’ with Claud, Remi Wolf, Still Woozy, Sophie Meiers, Melanie Faye and HXNS to raise money for the COVID-19 Relief Fund. Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, Cautious Clay currently resides in Brooklyn, New York.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
