NASHVILLE, TN (June 27, 2025) – LECADE delivers a hard-hitting take on heartbreak and the self-destruction it can leave in its wake with his new track “Liver,” out today via Big Machine Records. Backed by acoustic and electric guitar, piano and raw vocals, the song is a gritty portrayal of lost love, where the only thing more damaged than the heart is the liver trying to forget. Caught in an intense downward spiral following a breakup, the narrator finds themselves on a continuous bender as they attempt to drink them out of their system. Written by Sara Bares, Ryan Kohn and Carson Wallace, the track balances recklessness with reflection, pairing sharp lyrics with catchy production. With “Liver,” the Mississippi-raised artist continues to carve out his lane in Country and resonate with fans for his vulnerability and raw honesty.
“I knew that I needed to cut ‘Liver’ from the first time I heard it back in 2024,” shares LECADE. “The track really connected with me, and I’m super happy with how the final product came out and how the song represents me as an artist. I’m really hopeful that the fans will feel the same way!”

ABOUT LECADE: Splitting his upbringing between Winfield, Louisiana, and Hattiesburg, Mississippi, Cade Brinkley, better known as LECADE grew up watching his dad play in dives and legendary honky tonks (like Tootsies) across the south with his band. Falling in love with music at such an early age, LECADE began consuming music of all kinds before converting from an avid listener to a creator himself. In high school he began creating music in his bedroom by buying beats from YouTube creators and writing lyrics over them—which caught the attention of Nashville and TikTok alike. Now, the Country artist is determined to be the next to defy genres, successfully marrying Pop-Country with just enough Hip-Hop style. Averaging more than 3 million monthly listeners, he is growing his streams and has accumulated more than 100 million streams to date. With his unique, yet somehow familiar vibe, made for mainstream and outlaw Country fans alike, LECADE has produced his song “Next Town Over,” his popular single “When I’m Gone” and songs from his debut Country album, Chasing Ghosts. Now signed to Big Machine Records, LECADE is currently in the studio working on new music.
