alright, so this is ridiculous. absolutely no good reason for ELECTRO LOVE's non-release.
so i propose that, for end-of-the-year listing purposes, we put together a Cassie Fan Club Cassie Mixtape. an updated version of the Cassie leaks. like a Piracy Funds Terrorism buzz-builder. it needs to be thoughtfully constructed.
anyone else interested?

ha, i guess i would be interested! except i put together an incredible connecticut fever one last year, track listing probably upthread. there have been enough leaks etc to make up electro love this year but it wouldn't really be as great :(

ok, yeah, so now i'm really psyched about Operation Cassie Fan Club Mixtape
― avatar brothers (Tape Store), Sunday, 13 December 2009 07:14 (fourteen years ago) link
she tweeted that they're not going to be on electro love (lol as if that thing will EVER get a release at this point), they're all from a couple of years ago. they're nice enough but tbh nothing that's leaked this year has grabbed me half as much as the connecticut fever non-album from 2007-08 that i put together for myself.

dammn if I never new isn't the best version of Last Christmas I never heard
― plaxico (I know, right?), Monday, 14 December 2009 00:20 (fourteen years ago) link
also I had never heard her teriusntricky track, surprised how well she fits into that sound world
― plaxico (I know, right?), Monday, 14 December 2009 00:24 (fourteen years ago) link
which terius one? keep on lovin me? b/c if anything her really minimal pipes always seemed very well suited to his deal.
― wrapped up, packed up, ribbon with a donk on it (Alex in Montreal), Monday, 14 December 2009 00:43 (fourteen years ago) link
and JEEZ I Never Knew really is Last Christmas, isn't it?
So let's review, Lex+My Connecticut Fever was:
Activate2 the Morning (ft. Young Dro)Is It You?Official Girl (ft. Lil Wayne optional)In Love With UI Don't Love YouIn Love With the DJNobody But YouThirstyMy HouseSometimes (feat. Ryan Leslie)Turn the Lights OffBonus track: Summer Charm
― wrapped up, packed up, ribbon with a donk on it (Alex in Montreal), Monday, 14 December 2009 00:45 (fourteen years ago) link
This is what I have for the 2009 Electro Love
Let's Get Crazy (ft. Akon)Must Be Love (ft. Puff Daddy)Keep On Lovin' Me (ft. The-Dream)I Need Love (Ft. K-Love)StaminaShakespeareLook What You've DoneShe Can't Love YouWhat She Don't Know Won't Hurt HerCan't Shake the FeelingPush ItLet Me GoI Never KnewUp In HereStray (ft. Brandon Hines)
― wrapped up, packed up, ribbon with a donk on it (Alex in Montreal), Monday, 14 December 2009 00:46 (fourteen years ago) link
Is there any 2009 Cassie I'm missing here? And while there's good stuff here, for sure, I think Lex might be right that nothing matches up to her best 07-08 stuff.
Or is it possible that after last year we're just having Cassie leak-fatigue?
― wrapped up, packed up, ribbon with a donk on it (Alex in Montreal), Monday, 14 December 2009 00:48 (fourteen years ago) link
No, Nobody But You (ft the dream), I dunno I just picture her voice in such clicky icey soundscapes that tricky's lush minimalism shouldn't work but the way her voice shifts gears between the verse and bridge is pretty next level
― plaxico (I know, right?), Monday, 14 December 2009 00:48 (fourteen years ago) link
altogether, incl. "cassie" i have 63 tracks on my iTunes, but there might be a couple of duplicates in there...
― plaxico (I know, right?), Monday, 14 December 2009 00:49 (fourteen years ago) link
also the ft. lil wayne is not optional, wayne-free vers is the only real version
Oh, jeez, yeah. That was the tail end of 2008 and at the time I think a lot of us wrote it off as a sub-Mariah Mariah song, esp. since Terius'n'Tricky were working on Memoirs at the time, but in retrospect a) it's a fucking GREAT song, and b) They didn't give Mariah ANYTHING close to this (would that they had).

― wrapped up, packed up, ribbon with a donk on it (Alex in Montreal), Monday, 14 December 2009 00:54 (fourteen years ago) link
i can send it your way, if you can help me figure out/fill in the gaps in my collection.
― wrapped up, packed up, ribbon with a donk on it (Alex in Montreal), Monday, 14 December 2009 00:59 (fourteen years ago) link
hah, i got it and i'm already lookin to see what i got that you don't (i have a lot more duplicates than i thought, also i think the "interludes" and shit are making up a little too)
― plaxico (I know, right?), Monday, 14 December 2009 01:01 (fourteen years ago) link
(i counted the interludes!)

Also, how did I never give Stamina a proper spin before? This is pretty sweet.

okay i'm not sure abt these:
At the BarAddictionDo ItDon't Go Too SlowHighI hope you're behaving (interlude)Leave You A MessageShe Can't Love You
???
― plaxico (I know, right?), Monday, 14 December 2009 01:10 (fourteen years ago) link
some of those could just have different titles u kno?
― plaxico (I know, right?), Monday, 14 December 2009 01:11 (fourteen years ago) link
Don't Go too slow is one of my "Cassie" bonus tracks (the other is when your body is talking)
I have the hope you're behaving (interlude) and she can't love you. addiction is the ryan leslie track? or something else all together?
definitely missing: at the bar, do it, high + leave you a message.
― wrapped up, packed up, ribbon with a donk on it (Alex in Montreal), Monday, 14 December 2009 01:14 (fourteen years ago) link
oh yeah, sorry addiction is the RL i must have it under both, do you have I'm a Lover as well? Whatever you're stuck for I can rar u
― plaxico (I know, right?), Monday, 14 December 2009 01:18 (fourteen years ago) link
Got I'm a Lover, yeah. Always forget about that a lot because it sorta whatever.
― wrapped up, packed up, ribbon with a donk on it (Alex in Montreal), Monday, 14 December 2009 01:27 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah, her voice is weird on it
― plaxico (I know, right?), Monday, 14 December 2009 01:31 (fourteen years ago) link
"High" is a one-minute long snippet of a Neptunes-Cassie collab, it sounded v promising but doesn't really stand on its own
― avatar brothers (Tape Store), Monday, 14 December 2009 01:46 (fourteen years ago) link
also there's a lot of amazing 09 stuff that holds up w/ the 08 leaks
― avatar brothers (Tape Store), Monday, 14 December 2009 01:47 (fourteen years ago) link
and cross off "Do It," it was a demo for Cassie
And add "Make U A Believer" w/ jadakiss

Yeah this is gorgeous, James Fauntleroy is pretty much my fave songwriter at this point, his melodies are beautiful.
