Casie Luong: “Easy Lately”

By: Jack Anderson

When it comes to high standards, Mother Falcon doesn’t just let any old fledgling into their collective nest. There’s no exception to the rule when it comes to Austin-based songwriter Casie Luong who, in addition to her virtuoso piano and vocal skills, has become an integral part of the annual Mother Falcon Music Lab as an instructor.

And on top of her semi-recent interest in acting, Luong’s blossomed into quite the solo songwriter and producer since the release of her 2015 EP Grow, venturing into soul, pop, and R&B considerably more than her MF chamber-folk bandmates. With the help of Moses Elias and Payton Long, Casie Luong just shared another groove-heavy single last week, one that’ll keep you wanting more and more from this up-and-comer: “Easy Lately”!
