no more leaks - we have enough to comprise the whole thing already, and if they all make it it's album of the year easy - bring on the damn album already! i hunger for PRODUCT

It's better this morning.

hang on did we ever talk about '2 the morning'? that song is so amazing, those cut-up backing vox and lurching beats and disquieting 808 pulses. waitaminutewaitaminutewaitaminuteyeah - everything i do i be makin' them stare...
'official girl' and 'thirsty' both have such awesome middle 8 pay-offs:
and i ain't makin' ultimatums i'mma tell you like it is verbatim
vs
ooh i got you dreamin', wishin' you was in the deep end here we could be fully submerged hmm - i think about it, i doubt it, should make you live without it and keep you dying of thirst - i'm just playin' with you!

oh god that ultimatum/verbatim bit is my favorite...also it took me forever to notice: back to back dudes away from my door

Album has been pushed back to early '09 I hear. Makes sense, Cassie can't really compete with all the big names releasing 4Q '08 like Beyonce, Cici, Keri, etc.
― The Brainwasher, Thursday, 7 August 2008 04:30 (sixteen years ago) link
What the fuck?! :( She could release all the leaks and still have the best album of the year!
― Tape Store, Thursday, 7 August 2008 04:34 (sixteen years ago) link
the leaks are good, but 08 has been an excellent year and it's getting even better in the 4Q so....

speaking of leaks a new song "my house" is doing the blog rounds
it's really great. also this 'over it' demo sounds so promising. this really makes me sad.
― Tape Store, Thursday, 7 August 2008 04:48 (sixteen years ago) link
YES:
official girl 2 the morning in love with the dj sometimes thirsty my house over it is it you? turn the lights off
― lex pretend, Thursday, 7 August 2008 09:40 (sixteen years ago) link
a lot of that stuff is actually pretty good
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 7 August 2008 09:46 (sixteen years ago) link
at least a new pussycat dolls album is coming out
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 7 August 2008 09:47 (sixteen years ago) link
a lot of these are a little same-y to me though
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 7 August 2008 09:56 (sixteen years ago) link
the girl on 'over it' doesn't sound like cassie at all, at least the version i heard.
no, you were the right the first time. however, i do approve of young dro on the new '2 the morning' mix.
there are also some good songs that didn't make it to the first album, 'in love with u' especially
― dbs, Thursday, 7 August 2008 10:04 (sixteen years ago) link
however, i do approve of young dro on the new '2 the morning' mix.
holy shit what
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 7 August 2008 10:07 (sixteen years ago) link
she has an aesthetic*, she sticks to it. i admire this! and there are endless subtle variations within it. 'in love with the dj' = every word is truth
*actually she has 2
― lex pretend, Thursday, 7 August 2008 10:15 (sixteen years ago) link
OMG "Nobody But You" (Prod. by The-Dream)
Love the drums! Not sure about the mixing, but this isn't high-quality.
― Tape Store, Saturday, 9 August 2008 22:14 (sixteen years ago) link
no, it certainly isnt.
― r|t|c, Saturday, 9 August 2008 22:46 (sixteen years ago) link
this is pretty good but it's giving me "love in this club" flashbacks
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 9 August 2008 22:51 (sixteen years ago) link
which would be the second dream song to leak this week that kinda beatjacks that song
chorus is really pretty on this, kinda sounds like something mariah would do
"my house" is incredible omg.
― The Brainwasher, Monday, 18 August 2008 04:45 (sixteen years ago) link
did you see her vlog message? she said she was upset that it leaked because "she really wanted it to be on the album." This frightens me.
― Tape Store, Monday, 18 August 2008 04:48 (sixteen years ago) link
oh no :( it MUST be on the album. i'm starting to doubt whether her album will actually come out because of all these leaks...
― The Brainwasher, Monday, 18 August 2008 04:51 (sixteen years ago) link
activate is soooo great!
― Tape Store, Saturday, 23 August 2008 04:05 (sixteen years ago) link
also official girl video
― Tape Store, Saturday, 23 August 2008 04:07 (sixteen years ago) link
she looks great in the video
― The Brainwasher, Saturday, 23 August 2008 04:09 (sixteen years ago) link
also on myspace, cassie (cute as ever) says she's really pissed at the people leaking these tracks and that every time one leaks, she goes back in the studio and records a new one. and that as a result, she keeps getting better. but she's still pissed.
― Tape Store, Saturday, 23 August 2008 04:09 (sixteen years ago) link
she should do a double disc, one of the leaks and one of new material.
― Tape Store, Saturday, 23 August 2008 04:10 (sixteen years ago) link
lol who would buy a double disc cassie album (besides you and lex)
― The Brainwasher, Saturday, 23 August 2008 04:16 (sixteen years ago) link
whichever assistant diddy sent out for the assignment
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 23 August 2008 04:17 (sixteen years ago) link
Cassie has 627275 friends.
― Tape Store, Saturday, 23 August 2008 04:33 (sixteen years ago) link
... then why hasn't her first album gone gold yet?
― The Brainwasher, Saturday, 23 August 2008 04:36 (sixteen years ago) link
It sold like 600,000 and she didn't even have a fraction of her current hype. Also Ciara has 292434 friends.
― Tape Store, Saturday, 23 August 2008 04:38 (sixteen years ago) link
I mean, the second collection of tracks could be a digital-only deal.
― Tape Store, Saturday, 23 August 2008 04:39 (sixteen years ago) link
she only sold like 300k in the US, Ciara's last album is 2XP
― The Brainwasher, Saturday, 23 August 2008 04:41 (sixteen years ago) link
and there's like no hype for her album anymore since official girl flopped and all of the tracks leaked
but I think the video should restart things
― The Brainwasher, Saturday, 23 August 2008 04:42 (sixteen years ago) link
why hasn't gotten a 360 deal yet??????
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 23 August 2008 05:03 (sixteen years ago) link
omg 'activate' <3
'my house' inevitably wormed its way deep into my heart, so fragile. there's a real secret-garden mystique about it which i love, like cassie's some sort of victorian gothic heroine. "this is my castle, babe..."
she has to release all of these songs! they are too good to be lost down the back of the sofa. but saying that she makes a new song every time one leaks is tremendously heartening.
― lex pretend, Saturday, 23 August 2008 10:30 (sixteen years ago) link
i am particularly cassie-fan-club this week
― lex pretend, Saturday, 23 August 2008 10:31 (sixteen years ago) link
"activate" is like "i'm that chick" vs. "migrate"

Tape Store, I have a bridge I'd like to sell you...it has 80 gazillion friends on MySpace.

also we're talking about the protege of a guy infamous for creating a ton of fake accounts to get on YouTube's most subscribed list.
― some dude, Saturday, 23 August 2008 15:21 (sixteen years ago) link
"nobody but you" is by far her best song
"official girl" is really good of course. serious alliyah vibes from that video, mostly the wardrobe/hair
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 23 August 2008 15:36 (sixteen years ago) link
guys, i was joking but i failed. ok.
also wtf. nobody but you is really good, but it's not close to being her best song!
― Tape Store, Saturday, 23 August 2008 15:38 (sixteen years ago) link
she's somehow managed to become even more awkward and lacking in charisma since she started making videos.
xpost - when you're really good at self-parody, don't be surprised when people are fooled by it!
― some dude, Saturday, 23 August 2008 15:39 (sixteen years ago) link
her most affecting chorus
sounds like a low-key mariah song to me
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 23 August 2008 15:41 (sixteen years ago) link
Anyway, "Official Girl" is an official flop, any news on a second single Tape Store?
