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 (nineteen years ago)
Rumor has it she got dropped from Bad Boy.
This makes me a sad panda.
― The Brainwasher, Sunday, 17 June 2007 16:35 (eighteen years ago)
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 (eighteen years ago)
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 (eighteen years ago)
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 (eighteen years ago)
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 (eighteen years ago)
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 (eighteen years ago)
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 (eighteen years ago)
BOOOOOO. "Sometimes" is great!
― Tape Store, Monday, 18 June 2007 01:48 (eighteen years ago)
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 (eighteen years ago)
YEAHH!
― baaderonixx, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 08:47 (eighteen years ago)
The new single is kinda mediocrish.
― The Reverend, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 21:41 (eighteen years ago)
YOU'RE WRONG.
― Tape Store, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 21:59 (eighteen years ago)
Well, if you say.
― The Reverend, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 22:08 (eighteen years ago)
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 (eighteen years ago)
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 (eighteen years ago)
This thread is absurd without pictures! "Me & U" is CLASSIC.
― Spencer Chow, Sunday, 14 October 2007 03:41 (eighteen years ago)
Is It You

nickanylaboo (1 week ago) 0 (Reply) (Spam) wow cassie is actually getting better at singing! she can now be up their with hilary duff! keep going cassie i always knew you had potential
― Alex in Baltimore, Sunday, 14 October 2007 18:40 (eighteen years ago)
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 (eighteen years ago)
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 (eighteen years ago)
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 (eighteen years ago)
Yeah, "Sometimes" is still the best leaked song IMO... followed by "Turn The Lights Off"
The album is due out in February now, btw.

The first single from her new album is called "Official Girl". Produced by Danja, should leak any day now...
― The Brainwasher, Wednesday, 13 February 2008 03:39 (eighteen years ago)
!!!!!!!!!!
― Tape Store, Wednesday, 13 February 2008 04:00 (eighteen years ago)
Best album of the year, i bet!
not to jinx it or anything
― Tape Store, Wednesday, 13 February 2008 04:01 (eighteen years ago)
btw, where'd you hear that? Google says nothing.
― Tape Store, Wednesday, 13 February 2008 04:02 (eighteen years ago)
oops. wikipedia, i see
― Tape Store, Wednesday, 13 February 2008 04:03 (eighteen years ago)
actually she said it on 106 & Park today
― The Brainwasher, Wednesday, 13 February 2008 04:04 (eighteen years ago)
jeez, you guys sure know how to pick a random-ass singer to obsess over. I just saw Step Up 2 The Streets and she's only in it for like 5 minutes, but I'll leave it up to you to decide whether that's worth camping outside the movie theatre for.
― Alex in Baltimore, Wednesday, 13 February 2008 05:05 (eighteen years ago)
yeah i respect you two dudes but this cassie obsession boggles me
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 13 February 2008 05:22 (eighteen years ago)
'me + u' is classic for all time but i don't see much beyond that tbh
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 13 February 2008 05:24 (eighteen years ago)
Tape Store has been notoriously SUSPECT getting all !!!!!!!! about 'produced by danja' is pretty weird
that said, j0rdan ... "Is It You"? She's got some great other tracks, its just
― deej, Wednesday, 13 February 2008 05:28 (eighteen years ago)
tbh my interest was peaked by produced by danja
i mean he coaxed a good song out of lifeless 07 britney, i don't see why he couldn't do the same for cassie
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 13 February 2008 05:34 (eighteen years ago)
plus last year alone he had production credits on the only two good songs on the timbaland album, 2 of the 4 great songs on the t.i. album + we takin over so i'll check for his shit for at least the rest of this year
