koganbot | Cassie Like Cassie, Always

An actual available-for-legal-free-download-rather-than-a-leak mixtape from Cassie. Her presence or antipresence or whatever-it-is is as compelling as ever and I have no better explanation now than I ever have. I pretty much depleted my descriptive ability back in '07. In my 2006 P&J I expressed my disconnection from/indifference towards her lyrics and ethos. Dev subsequently became the Cassie Whose Words And Life Made Sense To Me. But Cassie still brings me to jelly knees a bit more consistently, which is all the time. On "I Know What You Want" and "Turn Up" she experiments with turning down the instruments to add even more spaciness to her spaciness. "Do My Dance" is as deliberately retrogressively dumb and crude as the rest of guest artist Too Short's oeuvre, and she's still sweet vapor on it. The instant initial swooners for me are "Paradise," "Addiction," and "Numb," but there'll be more.
