THE CASSIE TRILOGY

The now-cult heroine who stole our hearts with Me & U hasn't been idle but who knew? Awhile back someone with a tumblr put together these compilations to showcase over 3 hours of unreleased tracks in "minimalist R&B," "dark electro," and "pure pop" styles. Her second album is serially delayed but it hasn't fazed her most devoted fans. 

Also the same industry that hasn't given Cassie enough credit is the same one that snubbed Ciara, just saying.
