Cassie: The new Ciara?

loving this

The first Cassie leak in almost a year. It is an old song from 2007 produced by Brian Cox and written by some guy called Adonis. It's nice and pleasant:

you can shake your head til it falls off tbh rtc

this is making me :D so much

what interview?

lol @ cassie discovering cassiefanclub tho

the article that's linked 4 posts above yours, plax

that tweet's so heartwarming, like to see her find out that there are actually people who really love her music and her voice. hopefully it gives her the motivation to actually release an album something this year!

*sometime

idk i'm sure she must know, she gets fans tweeting @officialcas all the time - it's obv just that robin, y'know, runs a record label

weird how they make such a big deal out of hebden using that me+u sample on that joe goddard remix and dont mention how that same sample is all over the lead single off his last album?

i wonder if i could get into O_ooOo r w/e shes called

i would suggest checking creep out first/instead

yah but u h8 how to dress well and i love him

like LOVE him

:(

all of us let down lex sometimes.

i mean, that feels like a *pretty* self interested recommendation there, lex. u dont know what music i like at all.

that said im listening to creep now and not OO00ooOO

it'd be a self-interested recommendation if i had anything to do with creep!

imagine if cassie became this like post-chillwave witchhouse diva and started getting all this p4k play what would that do to cassie fanclub just wondering

like obv i would b into it

fyi creep are working with nina sky atm

let's not get p4k involved

y, do u have some negative opinions about p4k and the bands they cover?

cassie is already halfway to this if you accept that post-dubstep is the UK witch-house/chillwave.

i will concede this

cassie is already halfway to this if you accept that post-dubstep is the UK witch-house/chillwave.

when there are actual obvious connections and friendships between label owners and producers from witch house and (segments of) "post-dubstep", calling one the equivalent of the other is an odd way to put it

i still don't really know what chillwave is :/

o u r missing out, u would love it i can tell

Lex that's part of what I meant though? "Equivalent" just means "kinda similar scene"?

having said that there's still a difference between Cassie turning up on a Deadboy release and her doing vocal for Salem's second album.

i'd probably be as psyched as plax about Cassie/Dress Well collabs. I mean - I would also love for her to release a real sophomore album already, but becoming a witchhouse diva would be pretty fucking awesome too. the half-shaved head, etc. work well with the whole 'concept'.

How are Dress Well witchhouse?

More importantly let's stop talking about all this stuff on this thread actually.

yeha i think conflating them just erodes the differences - the fact that a group of people who are broadly in the same scene socially actually make stuff that's in different scenes musically kinda emphasises that? if they were all that similar they'd be in the same scene

xps

how to dress well is more post-chillwave rnb appropos

also, deadboy could easily pass as witchhouse if you didnt know

huge overlap in sound and increasingly imagery and mood

NOT how to dress well, christ, they can stay the fuck away

i'm really not bothered about whether the cassie album comes out actually: it's unlikely now that any of the 20 or so leaks i've loved in the past 3 years will make the cut. i want those songs to get their due but as i've said elsewhere, the most likely thing is some sort of retrospective rediscovering her as a cult artist 10 years hence

huge overlap in sound and increasingly imagery and mood

yeah a big part of the confusion is because "post-dubstep" covers such a broad spectrum of sounds and moods (being that it's kind of non-existent and all)

I look forward to the inevitable Soul Jazz double cd curated by How To Dress Well and Salem in partnership.

"Android Soundz"

yah but so does chillwave btw lex

i think it would be more like ***anDroID*soundzzz***

... The futureproofed daring of Cassie's recorded work was deemed unacceptable by a facile and superficial listening public to busy wondering whether they should have put a ring on it, and Cassie was for a time consigned to a life in the underground, with homemade tapes handed around at witch-house parties. The growing cult finally earned a name for itself in 2012 when Salem dropped the rare 7 inch release "Cassie Fan Club" featuring prominent vocal samples from unreleased Cassie song "Skydiver"...

... The next major development in the Cassie Fan Club movement was How To Dress Well making a positive reference to her music on Twitter...
