Kaskade – I Can’t Make You Love Me (feat. Cayson Renshaw)
Kaskade teams up with rising indie-folk/alternative artist Cayson Renshaw for a reinterpretation of Bonnie Raitt’s classic “I Can’t Make You Love Me.” Built around Renshaw’s raw, heartfelt delivery of the iconic line “Cause I can’t make you love me if you don’t,” the track starts as a slow, emotional ballad before Kaskade lifts the track into his signature, melodic drop. This modern spin, which blends indie storytelling with intense emotional production, arrives ahead of Kaskade’s upcoming album, undux, out December 4. –Liana Stern
