Work in Progress
As you’ve noticed by now - I’ve been hard at work on new records for Cassie’s album and it’s been a consuming process to challenge myself musically. This past weekend was a very creative time, and we spent Friday and Saturday exploring new ground for her. We decided to experiment with talking on a record, and also found that she had a unique vocal texture when she sang in her lower register. Since Diddy had just returned from Brazil, and was in town working on his own album - we paid him a visit at his studio Saturday night to get his opinion on the work in progress.

I like the way y’all respond to diddy with a positive attitude and recieving the feedback in a positive way. Some cats come into the game thinking they know everything and take offense to things that could help them in the long run … Personally, I am sweating you guys hard!!! -Nat

yah man… i love cassie and all, but i don’t know about the speakin’ on the track… the tracks hot, but the rap almost sounds untrue to who cassie is as an artist… it could grow on me, but personally i like a joint that i like from the get go, not one that heavy rotation influences… you kno what i mean… but please understand, i love the production of the track… just maybe need to go with the vocals more so than speakin’
Tuesday, March 7th, 2006 at 6:22 pm

Peace.
Tuesday, March 7th, 2006 at 8:01 pm
I like it, do what you gotta do.
Tuesday, March 7th, 2006 at 8:56 pm
I agree, Cassie should stick to that lovely singing and no rapping or speaking, it’s just not her. She has such a beautiful voice for singing the way she always did…
Tuesday, March 7th, 2006 at 9:35 pm
I’m really feeling that joint you played for diddy. It really fits Cassie’s Voice. I love her style of music . Everything I’v heard from her seems like hit material that I could hear on the radio, or play constantly in my Ipod or my car.Keep up the great work. P.S I Love Ryan’s voice on your songs too, I think together You guys sound great, I can’t wait for his album too.

Tuesday, March 7th, 2006 at 9:57 pm
Hey Cassie,
You are out of here girlie. You have the look and the new joint is sounding a little like a girl Pharell from the Neptunes. Nice vibe. Your voice is super inviting. I love it. Keep Strivin’ Mama
Tuesday, March 7th, 2006 at 10:56 pm

Wednesday, March 8th, 2006 at 12:02 am

Like the track.and the speaking sounds good for me.Maybe some extra gimmick things here and there + a Little effort t in the rythym part to make it sound complexer or obtain some fuller bodyed sound (or adding some bass!) Try adding a snare on the finger snap (make it dynamic)
Wednesday, March 8th, 2006 at 5:04 pm
jo man just say you RESPECKT man cant wait to listen the song in full

Sunday, March 12th, 2006 at 10:08 pm
I think Cassie has a nice voice but she sounds like what is already out, i.e. Christina Milan, Ciara, even Mya– studio creations, with the same multi-ethic look of long hair and fair skin, soft-airy voices with heavy computer generation and beats and lyrics produced and written by a team that’s done this for the umptenth time. It’s really disappointing that nothing new and fresh and original is coming out just more formula pre-divas. I hope Cassie can dance.
Monday, March 13th, 2006 at 1:32 am
it sounds hot both you and cassie make so WONDERFUL music together. so whats the name of that track and when is her album dropping?? im already a fan and im just waiting for it so i had rep her to the fullest!!

More than anything in the world, Another artist who has succeeded can understand how another artist who is willing to give anything, and everything, and who feels as if they already have, and yet only gained a inch, that still gets you nowhere…
can understand how important and meaninful it would be to take three minutes flat out of your day to listen to the song Recorded specifically for STEP UP 2, The Streets, Movie Soundtrack.
An oppurtunity is all someone needs sometimes.
