Kassidy – Useless: Canadian pop-soul artist Kassidy returns with “Useless,” a poignant new single released via Universal Music Canada. The track offers a raw, relatable take on emotional neglect, drawing from the quiet heartbreak of friendships and connections that slowly fade away.
“‘Useless’ was inspired by friends who don’t reach out anymore or won’t make the time or effort the way they used to,” Kassidy shares. “It’s about that feeling of always being the one to reach out.”
As the song took shape, its emotional reach expanded beyond friendships. “Somewhere along the way in the writing process, I realized that this concept could also be fitting for a romantic relationship where one of the partners is feeling let down or used.”
Layered with Kassidy’s soulful vocals and expressive lyricism, “Useless” balances vulnerability with quiet strength, making it a heartfelt anthem for anyone who’s felt taken for granted.
The single arrives ahead of an official music video, set to premiere on May 30, which captures the tension and emotional complexity of a relationship in decline. Fans will also get to experience a stripped-down live version of the song featuring acclaimed Black Pumas keyboardist JaRon Marshall, spotlighting Kassidy’s dynamic vocal range and intimate storytelling.
With more music, performances, and collaborations on the horizon, 2025 is shaping up to be a milestone year for Kassidy as he continues carving out his space as one of pop-soul’s most compelling new voices.
