Cadence is a modern melody with ancient roots. The name springs from the Latin “cadentia,” the lilting rhythm that sets music and poetry in motion. Picture a tabla keeping time at a joyous sangeet or the drum flourish before a Bollywood hero’s entrance—Cadence carries that same skip-step energy. She burst onto U.S. charts in the early 2000s and still grooves along, proof that a good beat never goes out of style. The sound KAY-dəns starts crisp and ends cozy, like the last note of a lullaby. Tied to heartbeats, dance steps, and the flow of speech, Cadence hints at a life that moves with purpose. Expect a girl who might tap her foot before she can talk and keep every room humming with her happy rhythm.
