Cas du Pree brings a brighter, bolder energy with “Prism”.

Cas du Pree is slowly carving out a space in the pop scene that feels both personal and refreshingly honest. Coming from Brummen in the Netherlands, Cas has built a sound that blends emotional storytelling with a slightly playful edge, thanks to collaborations with creatives like Hugh Webber and Arron Storey. What makes Cas stand out is how real everything feels there’s no over-polished, artificial vibe here. Instead, the music reflects real experiences, moods, and personality shifts. With a mix of Dutch straightforwardness and a bit of British pop finesse, Cas creates songs that feel relatable but still polished enough to sit comfortably in today’s pop landscape.

“Prism” feels like growth you can actually dance to!

“Prism” honestly feels like a turning point. It’s more upbeat and danceable than what you might expect, but it still holds onto that emotional core. The whole idea of the song being like a prism that reflects light or darkness depending on what it's given is simple but really effective. It seems like Cas is getting something back, both personally and musically. The song doesn't try to be too deep or complicated, but it still hits you emotionally because it feels so real. It’s the kind of song you’d play during a late-night drive, when you’re in your head but still want something with a bit of energy, or even when you’re getting ready to go out and need that quiet confidence boost. Overall, “Prism” feels like an artist growing into themselves, and doing it in a way that’s actually fun to listen to.

We got a chance to talk to the artist:-

1. What inspired the concept of “Prism,” and how does it reflect your personality as an artist?

Prism was inspired by the two halves of my personality. I can be really sweet and caring. But treat me poorly, and I will not be sweet at all. Also as you might have noticed my music goes in all sorts of directions. As human beings we are all multi faceted and I wanted to capture that in a song!

2. The song feels more upbeat and danceable than your previous work, what pushed you in that direction sonically?

I always wanted to create music that I like to listen to. Since I have a radioshow focused on indie pop with lots of danceable beats, I really am in my dance-pop era! But I will not be stopping here and pushing it even further! Also, having this type of music is more likely to be booked for shows or festivals and I would really like to perform live with a band.

3. How did the collaboration with Hugh Webber and Arron Storey shape the final sound of “Prism”?

I myself only had the concept and some lines written down. Hugh really shaped the narrative and tightened the lyrics into a song format. He really works wonders with text! And Arron is the musical creator and producer. Since we have worked together for such a long time (6 years) he really knows when my voice shines and how to use my range.

4. The line “let me take control” stands out a lot, what does that moment represent for you personally and creatively?

The last couple of years I felt like I lost a lot of control. Musically, personally. I am now taking that back with ofcourse keeping in mind that you cannot control every single thing. That's kind of hard when you are a perfectionist and a control freak!

5. How did you approach balancing emotional depth with a more commercial, catchy pop sound in this track?

I am not sure we ever had an approach for that. Every single song no matter the genre has that personal reference because I right based on experiences and memories. I did have a few refence tracks sent to Arron so he knew which way I wanted to go. In the end it just came together like this!

6. The prism metaphor suggests both light and darkness, how did you translate that duality into the music and production?

I feel like we kept it neutral, in between even. Because darkness can't exist without light and vice versa. I like to think of it as upbeat mysterious. Does that make any sense?

7. Did recording multiple tracks during your UK studio sessions influence the energy or confidence you brought into “Prism”?

It certainly did! I mean, I recorded this album while having an burn out. I was already drained with energy and recording 13 tracks in 3 days is madness. Still Arron and I created these tracks. But as you can imagine, recording multiple songs a day does influence the energy. Confidence grew so sometimes we laid a few vocals for a track and went back later to record more for that one.

8. Where do you see “Prism” fitting into your overall musical journey and the direction you’re heading next?

Prism is only the start. After this track there are more upbeat dance-pop tracks coming. (I have a new release every 6 weeks this year!) I even have a very special collaboration coming up which is currently being mastered. But that's really all I can say for now!
