CASSIE：以一曲《Me & U》橫掃紐約樂壇 “You can’t always start at the top. The key to my madness is, remember my face, because I plan on sticking around for a while.” 1986年出生于New London，Cassie的惹人性感與音樂才華繼承了菲律賓父親與非裔母親的血統(tǒng)。 最近，Cassie僅憑借一支單曲“Me & U”便一路走紅，沖擊紐約音樂圈之后，在Billboard排行幫上也躍升至前三。 可以說，Cassie進入音樂圈完全是一個巧合。在認識音樂制作人Ryan之后，Cassie的母親希望她能夠錄一張CD作為給自己的生日禮物。于是，Cassie找到Ryan，和母親一起完成了二重唱“Kiss Me”。Cassie的音樂才華打動了Ryan，于是，她得到了與Sony唱片合作的機會。 在步入音樂之前，Cassie曾在Wilhelmina公司做職業(yè)模特。她和Adidas、Complex雜志以及Abercrombie & Fitch活動都有過合作。現(xiàn)在在她的個人博客上還可以找到她原來模特時期的照片。 Cassie的音樂節(jié)奏感很強，雖然有時會顯得有些單調(diào)，但她穿透性極強的性感嗓音中和掉了節(jié)奏的不足，讓人不自覺地跟著音樂搖擺，隨著搖擺進入那迷離、放松、性感、挑逗的都市夜生活。 Cassie音樂的另一個亮點是效果雖然復雜但卻不吵鬧。很多音樂元素被用到單曲Me & U中。其它的，就讓你的耳朵自己去享受吧。 by Marisa Brown R&B singer Cassie got her first taste of the music industry at 16 when she had the opportunity to speak with the producer Rockwilder, a meeting that inspired her to take formal voice lessons. This decision paid off nicely later on, when, after she'd graduated from high school and was working on her modeling career in New York, she became acquainted with producer Ryan Leslie. He encouraged her to pursue music more seriously, and in January 2005, Cassie's mother's request for a song provided the impetus to go into the studio with Leslie and record one. Tommy Mottola heard Cassie's work and signed her to a management deal, and with Leslie as her producer, the young singer joined P. Diddy's Bad Boy Entertainment in 2006. That same year, her self-titled debut album was released; "Me&U," its lead single, reached the Top Ten. 更多>>
