Cassie, who has been working on her sophomore album since Danity Kane were fighting on their MTV reality show has been making the fashion rounds as of late. Not only does she have a hot spread in Vibe magazine, but she also has a feature in Nylon magazine as well. In the latter article, she opens up about what sound we can expect from her long-awaited album Electro Love, whether she considers herself a model or musician, and why she decided to shave one side of her head.
Tell us about your new album
It’s a cool blend of pop, hip-hop, and ska. It’s urban Gwen Stefani meets Aaliyah. I hate referencing people but if you had to compare, that’s it.
What’s your favorite track on the new album?
“Lonely Disco Ball,” which is about the end of the night when the party is done and everybody has left.
How did you transition from model to musician?
I started modeling at the age of 12. Then I moved to New York City
when I where I met Ryan Leslie through friends and started recording. We did three demos and one of them was “Me and U.” At the time Myspace was booming and the song took off. Then it was number one and it stayed there for six weeks.
Do you consider yourself a model or musician?
Musician because I love being creative and letting myself be emotional in that moment.
What promoted you to shave the side of your head?
It was time for a change and I never do anything crazy to my hair.
What did your mom say?
I was worried about what she would think but then she said, “OMG!..I get to see your pretty face”
I think the one-sided shaved do works for her, since I believe she was the first to become memorable with that style, and it's clearly become her signature. I just hope this new album will not only exceed her debut, but will also get people interested in her as an artist.
