Are you referring to my last post? It was just a silly response to the "But she can't even sing!" nonsense. (Plus, it's probably the truth as well.) I could've also posted "I might like Shellac if Steve Albini could belt like Paul Rodgers."

Just discovering her album. It's tremendous! I prefer it to the new Amerie and Rihanna.
Long Way 2 Go hooked me in (funny MySpace-themed video!) and it's the delightful pop of Ditto and smouldering of Kiss Me that I'm currently stuck on.
― Alba, Monday, 28 May 2007 13:27 (sixteen years ago) link
Rumor has it she got dropped from Bad Boy.
This makes me a sad panda.
― The Brainwasher, Sunday, 17 June 2007 16:35 (sixteen years ago) link
Siik (the dude who made that jazzy remix of Amerie's "1 Thing" a couple years back also remixed "Me & U" and again, it sounds like a completely different song. It's great.
― Wookie Rookie, Sunday, 17 June 2007 16:47 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah the siik remix is pretty awesome
i guess the album didnt sell v. well? cuz it pretty much ruled from end to end (a lot of this was leslies production, anyone know anything else of note hes done?)
― nervous, Sunday, 17 June 2007 21:12 (sixteen years ago) link
cassie :(
the other two noteworthy ryan leslie productions i've heard - both v much in the same gently minimalist vein - are the new megan rochell single, 'my mistake', and 'like that', off the jojo album. both v well worth hearing.
― lex pretend, Sunday, 17 June 2007 21:21 (sixteen years ago) link
is the whole jojo album worth checking out? i hadnt seen the list of producers till just now, a veritable whos who of hiphop-pop crossover appeal
― nervous, Sunday, 17 June 2007 21:27 (sixteen years ago) link
it is, mostly - it's not exactly consistent but she does a v good beyonce impression on the swizz beats track, the storch one is surprisingly r leslie-esque (thought that was his one for ages), there's a really nice digitised country thing...
― lex pretend, Sunday, 17 June 2007 21:34 (sixteen years ago) link
oh yeah i didn't realise this before i heard the new album but jojo can really sing
― lex pretend, Sunday, 17 June 2007 21:35 (sixteen years ago) link
BOOOOOO. "Sometimes" is great!
― Tape Store, Monday, 18 June 2007 01:48 (sixteen years ago) link
Turns out she wasn't dropped by Bad Boy thankfully. New album Still Cassie due out in October.
― The Brainwasher, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 08:17 (sixteen years ago) link
YEAHH!
― baaderonixx, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 08:47 (sixteen years ago) link
The new single is kinda mediocrish.
― The Reverend, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 21:41 (sixteen years ago) link
YOU'RE WRONG.
― Tape Store, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 21:59 (sixteen years ago) link
Well, if you say.
― The Reverend, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 22:08 (sixteen years ago) link
Exactly.
"Me & U" = Sinister and Seductive "Sometimes" = Unsure and Sweet
They use the same sound effects, and they're both based around the same setup (verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge for "Me & U"/guest spot for "Sometimes"-chorus). They're like cousin tracks...Obv. "Me & U" is better, but "Sometimes" goes down just as easily.
"Me & U" >>>>> "Sometimes" >> "Long Way 2 Go"
― Tape Store, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 22:54 (sixteen years ago) link
I want this album. Sure, as a single, "Turn the Lights Off" is a bit of a letdown, but I now prefer "Is It You" to "Sometimes" and maybe even "Me & U." That fuzzy guitar, the perfect structure and hook. Oh, and Cassie sound sweet and soulful...it's perfect.
― Tape Store, Sunday, 14 October 2007 03:33 (sixteen years ago) link
This thread is absurd without pictures! "Me & U" is CLASSIC.

― Alex in Baltimore, Sunday, 14 October 2007 18:40 (sixteen years ago) link
OK OK. I underestimated this "Turn the Lights Off" track, but I'm not going for this "In Love With the DJ" one. BLAAAH.
Cassie, Based on those first three tracks, this could be my number one album of the year. Don't fuck up! <3 -tape store
― Tape Store, Saturday, 20 October 2007 03:38 (sixteen years ago) link
Shit, I never heard Me&U before I clicked on this thread. So daringly empty, Its basically her and that snare for the first minute. I dig minimalism.
― I know, right?, Saturday, 20 October 2007 12:28 (sixteen years ago) link
uh, not to keep bumping this, but I just listened to "Sometimes" with the bass up. There's this fucking amazing growling noise going on throughout the entire thing. AWESOME.
― Tape Store, Saturday, 27 October 2007 01:41 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, "Sometimes" is still the best leaked song IMO... followed by "Turn The Lights Off"
The album is due out in February now, btw.
