Adam Cahn is just getting started with his musical journey. He started playing guitar around three years ago and began writing songs about two years ago. By all accounts he is getting his feet wet at this point. The nice thing about today's advent in recording technology is you don't need to shell out tons of money to record and you can start recording immediately if you have a fairly basic modern computer. That's exactly what Cahn did when he released a demo Visions.
Even though the demo has the hallmarks of a musician who is just starting off you can tell he has some talent. The EP starts with “Naive” which is a basic song where someone picks and then strums basic chords and sings. The recording is very rough but the chorus is still fairly catchy. Up next is the piano lead title track “Visions.” He implements distorted guitar and drums on this on a very standard sounding punk/alternative song. The same could be said about “Understanding” and “Into Deep.” The most well written song was “Awkward Goodbye.” Cahn is in the embryonic stage of his development. In addition to his songwriting he is going to have to improve his singing. I would have liked to have heard a more dynamic performance and more emotion in his voice. This can sometimes take years to develop. The songs at this point while fairly well written are very derivative sounding from myriad sources. Cahn doesn't have a distinct signature sound as of yet but that something will emerge with more dedication to his craft. Cahn still has a long way to go if he wants to make a career out of this but I don’t want that to discourage him. He obviously enjoys what he's doing and I hope he continues to refine his talent that he's just starting to explore. As of right now Cash is very much a case of wait and see.
