Her debut single “Me & U” was the sound of the summer of 2006 and still gets regular club play to this day, it still sounds as fresh as it did then with a murkier, minimal, darker, more menacing production style matched with Cassie’s icy, distant, sultry vocals transcending time itself, and not sounding a million miles away from the murky trap-pop currently ruling the airwaves. Her icy cool, chilly, slightly ethereal vocals and smooth, hypnotic and equally minimal yet experimental beats immediately made her stand out in the crowd of R&B Girls making a bid for superstardom towards the later end of the mid-2000s. She's an artist whose blend of pop, alternative R&B and hip-hop quietly pushed boundaries and always remained ahead of its time.
