Asela Perera

Cast Away has been a rollercoaster experience that spanned six years in the making. Born in the backdrop of Covid and lockdown, it evolved in the studio and then sat quietly on my laptop for 3 years. At the beginning of this year, I stumbled across it again and the lyrics seemed to speak to me as strongly as ever, but also in a whole new perspective.

As I get older, I would like to think you gain a certain perspective and clarity in life. While this is true for the most part, what they don’t tell you is that it also gives rise to new struggles of identity. This song made it full circle back to me at such a crossroad in life and I only felt like it was time to share it with anyone else out there who might feel the same way. 

"Cast Away" comes your way on 5th June 2026.
