人人都喜欢灰姑娘式的童话故事。2006年夏天,穿上水晶鞋的是一个叫Cassie的黑人姑娘。几乎一夜之间一个慵懒性感的女声,带着一首叫做《Me&U》的歌,抢占了所有电台和夜店。iTunes网站上,这首歌已经成为购买次数第三高的歌曲,而这个叫做Cassie的19岁女孩的个人space也迅速吸引到了超过三百万的点击率。 本名Cassandra Ventura的Cassie凭借着出众的外型,从14岁开始便是一名签约模特。但由于出生在一个有着良好音乐氛围的家庭,她一直尝试着在音乐方面也做出成绩。 2005年,Cassie录出一首歌曲《Kiss Me》作为送给母亲的生日礼物,她把这支歌送到纽约Casablanca唱片办公室的一个音乐制作人手里,恰好遇上了前SONY唱片公司总裁Tommy Mottola,这位慧眼发掘出Mariah Carey和Jennifer Lopez的唱片业传奇人物在试听了Cassie的几首歌曲后立刻产生浓厚的兴趣。 2006年Cassie终于在Mottola的引荐下与Bad Boy厂牌签约,并开始酝酿在8月推出首张个人专辑。 专辑介绍: CASSIE:以一曲《Me & U》横扫纽约乐坛
“You can’t always start at the top. The key to my madness is, remember my face, because I plan on sticking around for a while.”
1986年出生于New London,Cassie的惹人性感与音乐才华继承了菲律宾父亲与非裔母亲的血统。 最近,Cassie仅凭借一支单曲“Me & U”便一路走红,冲击纽约音乐圈之后,在Billboard排行帮上也跃升至前三。 可以说,Cassie进入音乐圈完全是一个巧合。在认识音乐制作人Ryan之后,Cassie的母亲希望她能够录一张CD作为给自己的生日礼物。于是,Cassie找到Ryan,和母亲一起完成了二重唱“Kiss Me”。Cassie的音乐才华打动了Ryan,于是,她得到了与Sony唱片合作的机会。 在步入音乐之前,Cassie曾在Wilhelmina公司做职业模特。她和Adidas、Complex杂志以及Abercrombie & Fitch活动都有过合作。现在在她的个人博客上还可以找到她原来模特时期的照片。 Cassie的音乐节奏感很强,虽然有时会显得有些单调,但她穿透性极强的性感嗓音中和掉了节奏的不足,让人不自觉地跟着音乐摇摆,随着摇摆进入那迷离、放松、性感、挑逗的都市夜生活。 Cassie音乐的另一个亮点是效果虽然复杂但却不吵闹。很多音乐元素被用到单曲Me & U中。其它的,就让你的耳朵自己去享受吧。
