Hear it Now
View
Cassie's electro banger "me and u" is the song of the summer -- the kind of car-radio hit that sends you skidding into the breakdown lane every time you hear that obsessive three-note synth pulse. Not a bad rookie shot for this nineteen-year-old, Diddy-sponsored, MySpace-fueled New York model turned starlet. Bad Boy's Ryan Leslie is a master of the minimal electro hook, whether he's going for an R&B ballad ("Kiss Me") or hip-hop ("Long Way 2 Go"), and Cassie shines with her understated cool. Best of all, "What Do U Want" mashes bhangra with the Go-Go's, featuring some head-scratching cosmology from Cassie ("The devil made this sweet little cupcake/Now we got Brooklyn and Harlem to educate"). But the whole album coasts on the hypnotic groove of "Me and U."
