Cassie Club Ballad
The club ballad is a NextSelection innovation that began with a joint called “Lay U Down” and requires a nice melody over a tempo of least 100 beats-per-minute…put this one down with Cassie’s album in mind.
Stay tuned because I’m still waitin on Cheri Dennis to stop by!

Ryan,
I’m wondering what controller your using on the synth lead in tihs song. Also, I am wondering what application you’re using on your G5. I’m not too familiar with Mac Applications. I am a software based artist and rely fully on Windows; but the way you’re multi-tracking is ridiculous.
Just an aspiring musician from nowhere,

Hi Ryan,
My name is Res (seems similar to ‘R-Les’, hugh?)
First I have to say, my english isn’t very good, because I’m from Germany. I’m a big fan of you and I really love all of your tracks!
But there is one thing, which won’t get out of my head: How is this song called (I mean the club ballad above)? Or didn’t had you released this song until now?
Please, please answer me! Thx 4 your attention.
Res
