 (58 Customer Reviews)
By the time Cassie's first album was released in August 2006, her first single had been on the Billboard pop chart for nearly four months and reached nine million plays through her MySpace page. The page, set up in late 2005, was part of a strategy that sparked a lot of chatter and eventually landed the model-turned-vocalist on Diddy's Bad Boy label. With plenty of anticipation already in place, Diddy stepped aside, and allowed his new signing -- along with her musical partner, Ryan Leslie, a studio do-it-all with credits on songs by Britney Spears and Donell Jones -- to run her course. "Me&U," the decidedly unwholesome track that excited so many MySpace users, became one of the spring/summer hits of 2006, following the likes of Ciara's "Goodies" and Teairra Marí's "Make Her Feel Good" as a sexy, assertive single with an intricate and space-filled arrangement that doesn't batter the ears into submission. The looming synthesizer patterns, along with Cassie's upfront vocal, combine with an ice-cream-truck melody to give it a slightly twisted and threatening edge contained by none of its like-sounding predecessors. The second single, the snapping and swirling "Long Way 2 Go," is just as irresistible in its flippant playfulness. Cassie scolds a hopeless suitor with such cutting nonchalance -- she's basically swatting a fly -- that you can see her delivering the lines by cellphone as she eyes a display of designer shoes. As a vocalist, Cassie has enough character and ability to sell her material without fail. And there will never not be a need for a vocalist who doesn't handle each stage of a relationship as if her life depends on it. ~ Andy Kellman

Purchase Cassie CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Chamillionaire Sound Of Revenge CD (2005) Parental Advisory
Cassie
 $13.15  
With THE SOUND OF REVENGE, Chamillionaire's 2005 Universal debut, the Houston-based rapper makes the most of his major-label deal, which includes his own Chamillitary imprint. On SOR, Paul Wall's former collaborator amps up that duo's signature chopped-and-screwed mixtape sound with heavy-duty arrangements that expertly showcase Chamillionaire's deep, husky voice. The introductory title track is marked by machine-gun beats, and establishes the album's fierce, restless mood. But the disc's highlight is the utterly infectious single ...
| | Mary J Blige Breakthrough CD (2005)
Cassie
$10.49 
The album's lead-off single, "Be Without You," a bittersweet slow jam, is representative of the album's themes, which focus on feelings of strength and weakness in love. But whether waxing romantic ("Can't Get Enough") or detailing the travails of the heart ("Baggage"), Blige lays down elastic R&B vocal lines that are second to none. Even a seemingly unlikely duet with Bono and U2 on "One" comes across beautifully, adding a new dimension to that familiar tune.
After her somewhat lukewarm 2003 release LOVE & LIFE, Mary J. Blige returns to her rightful place as the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul with 2005's THE BREAKTHROUGH. Blige enlisted a host of guest producers to contribute tracks to THE BREAKTHROUGH, and the result is one of her strongest and most varied albums. As usual, the sound is a mixture of smooth, urban contemporary and hip-hop edge, but ...
| | Ne-Yo In My Own Words CD (2006)
Cassie
$11.09  
The grooves on IN MY OWN WORDS are mostly down- to mid-tempo, with plenty of room to showcase Ne-Yo's way with a lyric and melody. The album's first single, "Stay," is a case in point, layering vocal lines for a choral effect while Ne-Yo's fine, flexible voice soars over the top. As one might expect, matters of the heart are the primary theme, but Ne-Yo proves that the market can handle another romantic neo-soul crooner, especially one this talented.
By the time of his Def Jam solo debut in 2006, Ne-Yo had already been a high-profile behind-the-scenes figure in contemporary R&B, penning hits for the likes of Faith Evans and Mary J. Blige. Like those artists, Ne-Yo's music is influenced ...

| | Beyonce B'Day CD (2006) Bonus Tracks
Cassie
$9.99
Beyonce had little to prove on her second solo outing, B'DAY, having already demonstrated her taste, (solo) vocal prowess, and sparkling star quality on her first post-Destiny's Child release in 2003. Nevertheless, the singer and her crack team of producers and collaborators (R&B's finest, including the Neptunes, Swizz Beats, and Rich Harrison) have come up with a collection that's at least equal to her previous triumphs, and that shows off an almost angry intensity only hinted at on earlier releases.
The club hit "Deja Vu," with an extended rap from boyfriend/producer Jay-Z, boasts an addictive bass line that contrasts dramatically with Beyonce's emotive upper register. The haunting "Ring the Alarm" is a multilayered melodrama built around a dizzying minor-key hook that relies on Beyonce's vocal dexterity and newfound fire. Despite the appealing bravado of most of the tracks on B-DAY, the most memorable song is the beautiful lovelorn ballad "Irreplaceable," on which a wounded Beyonce protesteth too much about an errant lover's dispensability. Her nuanced and soul-deep ...

To merge all the great aspects of modern rock & metal with the beauty of soul was just a small step for gegengift. But it's been a huge leap for mankind. You like emo ?

| | Diknu Schneeberger Rubina CD (2007) (Import)
Cassie
$17.99
Diknu Schneeberger Trio Diknu, born 17.01.1990 in ViennaWinner of the Hans Koller Prize 2006 ( Talent of the Year!) Diknu Schneeberger is an exceptional talent, a rising star in guitar heaven. This very young musician has this typical virtuosity and rhythmic precision of the Gipsy Jazz in his playing, and a distinctive feeling for melody and sound. In February of the year 2004 he was starting to have rhythm guitar lessons with Striglo Stöger, in June of the same year he already had the first public performance and October he was making the first recordings for a CD with the Joschi Schneeberger Quintet.From 2005 Diknu attended classes with the well-known Vienna Jazz guitarist Martin Spitzer. Soon they developed a tight friendship and found they both had the dream of playing music with the esprit of Django Reinhardts.2006 they founded the Diknu Schneeberger Trio with Diknu’s father Joschi Schneeberger on bass!The trio plays rapid Gipsy Swing, carefully arranged standards, interesting originals and Django's finest compositions, but also those of his follower like Stochelo Rosenberg or Bireli Lagrene, who enriched the Gipsy Jazz with some modern elements. Some interesting catchlines from a recent interview with the artist:...school never interested him, just did what was needed...wanted to be a tiler....plays the guitar just since 2004, after having a short try 6 years before...got lessons of his uncle...practises at least 2-3 hours a day...just wants to play, doesn´t compose till now...have to learn to read music on the conservatory now, but ...
