Cassie: The new Ciara?

thx

connecticut fever is a great name for a bootleg cuz it brings the lols

i don't have 'i don't love you'!!! which is a singularly enticing title for a cassie song, i have to say.

there's a song called 'soldier 4 your love' doing the rounds too. it's a really lovely stargate-produced track - almost does the whole cosmic ryde-or-die declarative epic thing which every chick's been jumping on recently (not hating, i've got love for 'right here (departed)' and 'halo' and 'us against the world', but it's definitely becoming a rather rote thing now) - anyway, 'soldier 4 your love' almost does it but cassie drags it halfway back to her own introverted territory, as is her wont, and it ends up as oddly captivating as the rest of her material.

i like basically all the hilson i've heard, but i was never that enamoured of 'energy' - really the only hilson tracks which i've had that "whoa must put on repeat 4eva" reaction to are 'the way i are' and an 05/06 mixtape cut called 'hands & feet', which i was hoping that the scherzinger would exhume for her solo career. it goes "well u got big feet/and u got big hands/so i already know what's up in ur pants/where'd u get that from, ur daddy? where'd u get that from, ur daddy?"

haha the only leak cassie singles out is 'nobody but you', which is my least favourite of the connecticut fever leaks by some way - it's fine but cassie doesn't quite overcome the 'love in this club' familiarity of the beat. it'd be better without the signature ravey synths, they get rather intrusive. still worth it for that bizarro lyric "you got me sitting right here with my back facing this man/you're tormenting me in my serenity".

the other week i read some blind item about "which B-minus list r&b singer has just had her second abortion b/c a condition of her relationship w/her A-list producer is no children" and half the comments were "cassie and diddy, duh" :(

lolz at "classy undercover hoe" btw

No thanks, Cassie hype kru.

I stand by this.

rev, if you can't stand by a classy undercover hoe in this world what can you stand by?

if anyone outside of the 5 ppl who read this thread would get it i would change my sn to "classy undercover bro"

new track! 'summer charm' has a 'stand by me' rhythm and is as amazing as everything this girl touches. i love her.

OMFG SHE'S SO GREAT

God, this is like fucking 60s girl group without the harmonies. So beautiful!

Ha, that male vocal really comes outta nowhere with like 30 seconds left, huh?

you're the one i need by my side
i know i'm young but here boy take my li-i-i-fe

this song is so fucking good.

R n' twee more like

so clean. vox are simple and earnest.

fucking hell. if only cassie lived in the UK. Patrick Wolf, among others, are using this ridiculous thing called Bandstocks to fund their upcoming albums, which basically entails fans buying stocks in the artist/album and earning back whatever they've put in, once/if the album breaks even. or...i don't know. I'd say she needs a wealthy benefactor/patron but she already has Diddy.

What do we have to do to get this album OUT already?

Some old school Cassie:

guys, are there any other songs other than what alex in MTL upped upthread? im loving this

um, summer charm, that one i posted plus a few other leftovers from the first album and the first album (alllll stellar)

oh, it's gone. it's called "Can't Do It Without You" and it used to be on her myspace pre-debut.

lol yeah besides the first album i meant. thanks, ill try to track 'em down

xpost ok thanks

xxxxxpost, I'm pretty sure I know someone who used to live in that building.

official girl is really good, even if it is a little "lol collabo"

lil wayne version is pointless, original is stellar

wait wtf, i need to find the weezyless vers.

"youtube.com"

This is the girl who wrote "Activate."

I think she might be the one singing "Soldier 4 Your Love"

I'm a Lover

are the same 5 posters still circle-jerking over this?

good question you probably couldn't answer it from reading the thread

too long; didn't troll

I'm a Lover

I really like this beat but, for once, I have to agree with the otherwise annoyingly wrong criticisms of her voice (that never seem to go away, at least on Youtube). She doesn't sound like she can handle this kind of material with sufficient authority (although the song may just be in the wrong key for her - the high notes sound like they are just out of her range).

this is basically cassie covering 'high price', no?

Man, I forgot how amazing "My House" is. It's the most smoldering, sensual thing... if her album ever does come out this has to be on it for sure, I think it's my favorite song of hers. That "double doors" part OMG
