Cassie is the self-titled debut album by American singer Cassie, released on August 8, 2006, by NextSelection, Bad Boy Records, and Atlantic Records.
Cassie was discovered by music producer Ryan Leslie, who helped her record demo tapes. After Cassie was signed by Diddy, the founder of Bad Boy Records, she continued to work with Leslie who produced the entire album.
Two singles were released from the album: “Me & U” and “Long Way 2 Go”.
I’m hoping to show I can do a wide range of things. We have slow jams, the pop side, a little rock ‘n' roll, and I actually rap! The album’s really for everyone. The whole album really just goes back to love songs."
Working exclusively with Ryan Leslie, who brings a fresh, unique approach to the music, Cassie also described her sound as “mellow, chill, and easy to relate to.” – Warner Music Ca, 2006
