Cassie talks ‘Electro Love’ leaks, upcoming new single and much more!

Things have been pretty quiet on the Cassie front lately, but finally the star has broken her silence and is giving her fans a long overdue update on where she’s headed with her career and what exactly she has planned for her highly-delayed sophomore album Electro Love.

In a new interview with her fansite CassieVerse, the ‘Me & U’ singer has pointed the finger at the constant leaks from her project as being one of the main reasons that it still hasn’t been released, but says that she has a brand new single due out in the next few months.

Right now, I do not have a concrete date to give you all for the full album, but I will definitely have singles released in the coming months. To be honest, as so much content was released (leaked), I took it upon myself to record new things so that I wouldn’t be releasing an entire album of leaked records.

I definitely have a single [picked] but I won’t cut myself off until the label says that I need to be done.

The singer, who won’t include her previously released singles on the upcoming LP, said that Electro Love won’t fall into a particular genre or music.

I love creating what some consider pop records, I love creating what some consider r&b records and I will continue to do both. I don’t see myself falling into one category or another. These days everything has crossed over so much that you can’t really put yourself into a specific category. Pop, r&b, country, rock, hip hop… A single radio station might play all of that within an hour.

Cassie then stated that she is no longer signed to Ryan Leslie’s Next Selection label.

She also said that she has several performances lined up across Europe this Summer, she’s been working a lot with Dallas Austin as well as a lot of up & coming producers and that she’ll be back on Twitter and doing Vlogs once more music is ready to be released.

To read the full, unedited interview please head on over to CassieVerse.

I’ve also heard that Bad Boy are still very focused on Electro Love, and after Diddy’s Last Train to Paris Cassie’s album is their next biggest priority. It’s a good idea for Cassie to keep on the down low until she has some new music ready, but at least now we know that there is a new single coming and a whole album of fresh material.

Can’t wait!

    i can’t wait! cassie always seems to put out songs with good production. i can’t wait to hear the beats. that voice, or lack there of, is another story. terrible.

  • Dont get the Gaga hype

    Seriously she needs to give up already the industry already has one who cant sing or dance(Rihanna). Cassie chances of becoming an respected artist r slim to none. Sucking Diddys d**8 does that to you

    Cassie actually can dance and really well. She trained in dance when she was younger.

    I don’t know why she doesn’t show off her skills more to get ppl to stop hating.

  • Lashae

    Proph, I hate you!
    You’ve turned me into a Cassie fan. lol
    She has absolutely no musical talent what-so-ever……
    …but her music is so smooth and catchy!
    I can’t wait for the album!♥

  • http://www.theprophetblog.net The Prophet

    She isnt as untalented as everyone makes out. At least she co-writes and can dance and she creates really fresh sounds, which has to be some of her input.

  • That Cranberry Sause

    Guess this means no My House. Sad face.

    a “singer” LMAO!

    yall know this album will never see the light of day. Thank GOD! Why would Bad Boy waste the money? For what?

    Go back to Target Cassie, and take The Avon Lady (ms. keri baby) with YOU!

  • Dope Bwoi

    Noooo, does this mean we’ll never get High in full?

  • jawon (juju)

    prophet she is struggling with those moves…
    but i like that she actually wants to, or tries i should say. But she can easily be replaced thats why she is not as popiular/famous i think…

  • http://www.theprophetblog.net The Prophet

    She isn’t struggling with those movies, especially the end. They are filming the video and u can hear the director yelling at her when to move coz they have to film it a certain way.

  • Luke

    I hope she just means the commercially released singles (Must Be Love, Let’s Get Crazy) won’t be on the album, but maybe a few of the other leaks will…? Some of those are way too hot to throw away!
    Hurray for a new single soon!

  • JayCred

    I don’t think this album will come out.. I know everyone thought the same for Keri but I just have a feeling that Cassie so finished. A majority of the material that has leaked has just been shit besides a good couple.

  • http://www.theprophetblog.net The Prophet

    She said the leaks wont be on it because she wants to have all new material that ppl haven’t heard.

    Hide could make it tho coz it never fully leaked.

  • Typical!

    I think she should put Official Girl on the album, at least as a bonus, I even think Must Be Love should be a closer-that wasnt bad. But she can scratch of Let’s Get Crazy with Akon. Out of the leaks i think Skydiver definitely, you cant throw that away and maybe Look What You’ve Done and 2 The Morning. Goes on YouTube to listen to Hide.. yep and that track too.

    This girl doesn’t need to have a voice, in fact it’s her lack of it, the breathy vocals that make her songs good. It means you can focus on the beats as well, which is what she’s all about. For her direction in music alone she needs to be in the industry as no one does her kind of style.

  • http://asimpleformula.blogspot.com JohnnyS

    Wait wait wait…i went back and looked at that video….your a Britney Spears fan and you said that was good dancing? That was ok. mediocre at best. Stop trying to make her happen Proph! She’s a talentless FLOP! Shes as successful AS SHE SHOULD BE! maybe even to successful…lmao

  • Lashae

    Proph…she’s untalented. lol

  • divatude

    prophet i respect the fact u stan for her

  • ~AalexisR~ The Summer King (The Bahamas)

    I like her. In addition to that, she’s hot.

  • can’tthinkofone

    I’m rooting for Cassie this time around. I wish her the best of luck. I agree with proph, she’s not talentless. I think she just got off to a REALLY BAD start with her terrible performances.

    I loved the production on “Official Girl” !

  • BBD

    Ryan Leslie recently said she was still signed to him, so somebody is lying. My guess is its Cassie. She does need to go sit down somewhere. Her career is done.

  • http://deleted TJ

    Lmfao @ these haters!
    How these ppl think that they r the end-all judges of talent amuses me.

    And I cud see the album not fitting into one genre. I mean, the new Diddy & Dirty Money music is really breakin boundaries, and with Cassie being his “bff,” I’m sure the quality might rub off. lol

  • http://asimpleformula.blogspot.com JohnnyS

    Were not hating we’re just telling the truth. Sorry if you can’t take it. She’s cant sing. She cant dance. She’s just pretty. And she’s fucking Diddy. But he like any1 else with common sense knows this girl has ZERO TALENT, and thats why this album will NEVER happen.

    shit Last Train to Paris may not even happen. lol…ok im done. lmao

  • Dont get the Gaga Hype

    She is very talented as a model which she should invest her time in. But as an entertainer there is no more space for Cassie. She is not a dancer she can move like most ppl but she cannot dance.

  • Dallas

    Novel said on his twitter that he was doing stuff for her. I don’t know how pop he can get, but Im interested to see what he did for the girl.

  • Mizzberlyn

    tha video Proph posted just scream AALIYAH …God makes me wish she was here :/ I used to STAN so hard for Cassie because she was with NextSelection…now she just gave her soul to the Diddy….. byyee

  • adrian
