About Cassie
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. ~ Marisa Brown, All Music Guide

Kids MGMT |
| With 2005's "Time To Pretend" MGMT created a musical moment that would resonate for the next three years, putting it amongst the creme de la creme of new millennium indie anthems. With latest single, "Kids", MGMT fail to scale the heights they did with their first single, but still deliver a track that has met with strong approval from such critical sources as Pitchfork media, Zane Lowe and, surprisingly, dance music bible Mixmag who cited it as one of their "tunes of the year". Sporting an overridingly childlike melody that shimmers due to the interesting use of a distorted stylophone, the track washes over the listener thanks to the great use of a Gary Numan-esque synth line. This is all brought to the fore on the new remix by Belgian dance maestros Soulwax, who turn the muted indie cool of the original into an irrepressible club monster. If any evidence is needed, here is a clip of Erol Alkan playing the track at the recent Pukkelpop festival. Quite simply, amazing! | |
