NEW MUSIC: CASSIE ' MY HOUSE'


As much as I like to hate on Cassie for being a puny-voiced, non-talented(but gorgeous) model, there's always that little bit of curiosity to what her latest tune will sound like, as if the stars will align again and she'll come up with something as equally as impressive as Me & U. Despite a slew of mildly respectable tracks popping up all over the Internet in recent months from her, including new single Official Girl (featuring Lil' Wayne), nothing has been particularly brow-raising...that is until the leaking of the quite striking My House. A mid-tempo "trance & b" offering produced by Prince-obsessed eccentric Channel 7 that slithers to a knocking beat of light drum thuds and lurid synth notes, My House, puts Cassie right where she needs to be, sing-whispering, blow-up-doll double entendres about getting you to enter her "double doors". The song floats with the ethereal air of a daydream sex fantasy; a fitting vibe since A: it nurtures Cassie's featherweight vocals perfectly, and B: only in about 99.9% of the male population's dreams would they probably ever get the beauty begging them to come to her..."castle". Good stuff. Look for Cassie's sophomore album to drop sometime in early '09.
