“Average Man” by Casii Stephan is the song we need to hear!

Musical genius from Tulsa Casii Stephan has just released her latest soul-infused pop-rock single. The song, titled “Average Man,” follows her single releases “Wine & Gold” and “Can’t Handle Me” released earlier this year. All three tracks are taken from her highly anticipated upcoming EP, Relationship Status.

With “Average Man,” Casii found inspiration in an unexpected place. According to the press, the artist watched a documentary about one of her musical influences. Shania Twain. The film portrayed the icon’s struggles, including how her husband left her when she was in the midst of battling Lyme disease. Casii was shocked by this revelation and when she spoke to an oncology nurse about it, the nurse shared that it was so common for men to leave their partners when they get cancer that nurses counsel women on the matter. Lyrics like “I was the trophy / That you had to love / Until my paint started to peel” showcase this sad theme. Musically, “Average Man” features loud, classic rock-inspired guitars under Casii’s captivating vocals. A driving and anthemic chorus full of fervor and grit rounds out the musical masterpiece that combines rock, pop, soul and blues. The artist teamed up with the producer Ben Tanner (Alabama Shakes, St. Paul and the broken bones) and the collaboration is impressive.

Casii Stephan was born and raised in Minnesota, but found her true home in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The creator signed with music publisher TRO Essex (The Who, Black SabbathAnd Pink Floyd) and has made waves with performances at SXSW and Folk Alliance. Casii continues to delight audiences around the world with his talent for storytelling, creating irresistible melodies, and telling important stories.
