My love for Cassie is one that is undying. What other bitch can shave her head and still look this ridiculously gorgeous? Beyoncé could never pull this off!
Weaves and shaved heads aside, following this epic fail, Bad Boy are getting their shit together and releasing the Red One produced "Let's Get Crazy" featuring Akon.
Yeah, it sounds like Cassie doing GaGa and it's not nearly as hot as anything Ryan Leslie did for her on her debut, but anything is better than the dire crap that was "Must Be Love." Still, hopefully this is good enough to get her eternally pushed back sophomore album -- currently titled Electro Love -- a solid release date.
There was an interesting article about Cassie published in the UK paper The Guardian last winter talking about the countless leaks from the album and if it would ever see the light of day. The article, which goes as far as calling the album an "unreleased classic," mentions the track "In Love With The DJ," noting that:
[Cassie's] double-tracked vocals on the chorus – one Cassie blank and robotic, one Cassie reaching for ever higher levels of bliss – are pure genius.
This is one notion people have failed to realize. As an artist, Cassie might be nothing more than what she is given in the studio, but it's her nonchalant, distant, yet at the same time completely sexual and hypnotizing vocals that make her unique. Unfortunately, "Let's Get Crazy" is the one exception to Cassie's typical style, oozing over-processed, chirpy vocals from the typically blasé singer. *sigh* It's not right, but it's ok...
With her career seemingly on the line, we can only hope Casandra can overcome. Have a listen to "In Love With The DJ."
