oh, and does anyone know what's going on with Ryan Leslie's album?

What the fuck?! :( She could release all the leaks and still have the best album of the year!
YES:

do mp3s of this exist? if so, could someone make this album and upload it here (lex? tape store?)
― racist (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 26 November 2008 05:14 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah, Lex and I put together a compilation of the leaks from the new album and some bonus tracks off of the s/t. I'll upload it and post a link.
if it were released it would easily be somewhere in my top ten with erykah and tvotr and whoever. the degree to which cassie murks danity kane/pcd/anyone else doing this spacey fragile r&b is staggering.
gimme a minute.

i think cassie fanboys will really love the hilson album
― racist (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 26 November 2008 06:02 (fifteen years ago) link
or should at least
fair enough. nothing hilson's done has stuck with me yet, but my r&b tastes are mercurial, and only fairly recent, so i'm not the best barometer.
i'm curious as to what else gets classed as "micropop" a la I know, right's designation. is it a distinguishable subgenre? stillness of voice, lack of soaring emotions or vocal dynamics, intricate production....
part of me thinks Danity Kane should fall into it, but there are only 3ish songs off their album that seem worth my time, so perhaps they're micropop gone wrong.

I guess AIB and Lex have all these tracks...but mine so far:
Cassie - I am...Classy Undercover Hoe
I Am1. Is It You?2. Sometimes (feat. Ryan Leslie)3. Official Girl4. Don't Go Too Slow5. My House6. Nobody But You (feat. The-Dream)7. I Don't Love You Outro
Classy Undercover Hoe1. Activate2. 2 The Morning (feat. Yung Dro)3. Turn the Lights Off4. In Love With the DJ5. Thirsty6. Addiction7. Sell It (Outro)
OH, and GOOD NEWS:
MVRemix: With regards to the one’s that have already leaked, do you have plans to use those or put them elsewhere?
Cassie: You know what? I love every single one of the songs that has gotten leaked, so if [there are] any that I want to keep - I’m just gonna go back into the studio and re-vamp them and have fun with it. ‘Cause I’ve gotten good feedback on a lot of the records and that helps a lot too. Even though it’s a gift and a curse; the whole song leaking thing, it helps me try to figure out what people want to hear and what they like. So I’m definitely gonna go back in with some of the songs. I did a record called “Nobody But You” that I did with Tricky and [The] Dream and that got leaked. I’m keeping it because I really liked that song.
MVRemix: You’ve mentioned your frustrations at leaked songs, and as a music consumer, I wonder how you and the label don’t keep tighter wraps on material. How does it get out of your guys’ hands so easily?
Cassie: You know I think right now people are so intelligent and so smart with technology and with computers and with everything that I don’t count anything out. So if we’re sending a song through email or whatever, it’s a risk. So now you just have to be more conscious and make sure that we’re making the right decisions if we’re sending it to people. Just to be careful who you’re sending it to and what email you’re using. I don’t really know how it happens, but it happens to every artist now.

hahaha congratulations, you came up with the only possible album title worse than "Connecticut Fever"
― dumb pseud (some dude), Wednesday, 26 November 2008 06:24 (fifteen years ago) link
Voila:
<a href='http://www.mediafire.com/?oyykideomok'>Connecticut Fever</a>
Activate2 the Morning (Ft. Young Dro)Official Girl (Ft. Lil' Wayne)Is It You?In Love With UI Don't Love YouIn Love With the DJNobody But YouThirstyMy HouseSometimes (ft. R-Les)Turn the Lights Off
I didn't think to put Addiction on there, and I think Over It is in the folder from before we knew it wasn't Cassie. Don't Go Too Slow, When Your Body Is Talking and that other one are bonus tracks off of Cassie and aren't ever going to be on Album #2, so I left them be. If you want them, they're floating around the internet.
What's Sell It?
― the other Alex in MTL, in fact (Alex in Montreal), Wednesday, 26 November 2008 06:27 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah, I only kept it as "Connecticut Fever" because that's the title/cover that was floating around for a while. I was under the impression that it was legit.

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" :(

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?
