Songtext: Cassie - Me & U


Aus dem Album: Cassie (2006)



When I'm layin' on a half on what's going down tonight,
Bet I'm gon pop that chris tonight
Bet shorty coming out them clothes tonight
Get the telly, slap the skin all night
I'ma drop the top, hit the club all night
I'ma sex you wet, all the thugs be like
Yo, was up mama, whatchu doing tonight?
How would you like to roll on 24's tonight?
If you pimp heartbreaker when you do that booty shaka
All out hustla, and the money maka
You're good to your man, but I know ****, nigga
Come holla atcha boy, I'm about that paper

You've been waiting so long
I'm here to answer your call
I know that I should, I've had you waiting at all
I've been so busy, but I've been thinking about what I wanna do with you
I know them other guys, they been talking bout the way I do what I do
They heard I was good, they wanna see if it's true
They know you're the one I wanna give it to
I can see you want me too
But, it's me and you

It's me and you, now
I've been waiting (Waiting)
Think I wanna make that move, now
Baby, tell me if you like it (Tell me if you like it)
It's me and you, now
I've been waiting
Think I wanna make that move, now
Baby, tell me how you like it

I was waiting for you to tell me you were ready
I know what to do if only you would let me
As long as you're cool with it, I'll treat you right
Here is where you wanna be
I know them other guys, they been talking bout the way I do what I do
They heard I was good, they wanna see if it's true
They know you're the one I wanna give it to
I can see you want me too
And now, it's me and you

It's me and you,now (Baby, it's me and you)
I've been waiting
Think I wanna make that move,now (Thinking bout making that move)
Baby, tell me if you like it (Tell me if you like it)
It's me and you, now (Uh-huh)
I've been waiting (Hey)
Think I wanna make that move, now (Wanna make a move)
Baby, tell me how you like it (Yea)

Baby, I'll love you all the way down
Get cha right where you like it, I promise you'll like it (I swear)
Just relax and let me make that move (It's our secret thang)
Keep it between me and you

It's me and you, now (Oh Yea-a)

Think I wanna make that move, now (Move now)
Baby, tell me if you like (Tell me if you like it)
It's me and you, now (Yea)

Think I wanna that move, now (Gonna make a move now)
Baby, tell me how you like it
It's me and you

Get cha glass ready
Yep, your songs on
She's getting so hot, she can't keep her clothes on
Ray mack and Kellz, hotels for Cassidy
We take it to the tour bus, this ones nasty
You can see if she's cluck, and here's my introduction
And, we can do it all damn night with no interruption
Chingy or Nelly, it's your boy Durell
Getting big spends with Ray J and Durelly

It's me and you, now (Oh Yea-aa)
I've been waiting
Think I wanna make that move, now (Move now)
Baby, tell me if you like it (Tell me if you like it)
It's me and you, now (Yea)

Think I wanna make that move, now (Gonna make a move now)
Baby, tell me how you like it (Uh-huh)

Think I wanna make that move, now (It's just you)
Baby, tell me if you like it (It's just me and you, now)
It's me and you, now (I've been waiting)
I've been waiting (You know I've been waiting)
Think I wanna make that move now (Gonna make a move, now)
Tell me if you like it

CASSIE: "Me & U"

CASSIE: "Me & U"



CASSIE ist der heißeste Newcomer aus dem Stall von Sean „Diddy“ Combs’ Label Bad Boy. Und sie ist eine Frau, mit der man in den nächsten Monaten zu rechnen hat. Die 19-jährige CASSIE gehört mit ihrem sagenhaft minimalistischen Track Me & U zu den ganz großen Hoffnungen der R&B-Landschaft. In der Reihe der meistgespielten US-Radio-Tracks (alle Formate) mit über 12.000 Plays pro Woche auf Platz 5, erreicht CASSIEs packende Stimme über 100 Millionen Menschen und ging bereits auf Platz 6 der Billboard Hot 100, auf Platz 11 der digitalen Downloads (nationwide) und auf die 1 der landesweiten US-Airplay-Charts – mit knapp 15.000 Einsätzen wöchentlich vor etwa 126 Mio. Hörern!

Dabei geht Me & U weit über das hinaus, was man landläufig unter R’n’B versteht. Das Arrangement ist ultrareduziert, der Beat treibt mit sublimer Kraft und die ausgewogene Mischung von Melodie und Monotonie entfaltet hypnotische Wirkung, der sich niemand entziehen kann. Ein großer Schritt für den modernen R’n’B - und ein massiver Hit für eine Sängerin, die eine unverwechselbare Stimme besitzt und zudem attraktiv ist, wie selten eine vor ihr.

Cassie - Me & U

Ich hab den Song (Cassie - Me & U ) bei einer Freundin gehört und er ist mir sofort positiv aufgefallen. Cassie singt ihren song me&you mit einer sehr schönen r&b Stimme. Dazu gibt es einen schönen Hintergrundsound und einen netten text. Das alles zusammen macht den song perfekt. Ich habe einen Dauerohrwurm. Ich hoffe wir werden bald mehr von ihr hören denn Talent hat sie auf jeden Fall. Also jeder der gernen r&b hört, sollte sich dieses Lied zulegen.

Cassie Just One Night Lyrics

(feat. R-Les)

Cassie, Next Selection, R-Les

[Cassie]
Just one night to be with you again,
cause I miss the way
That it felt when we made love oh...
Just one night to be with you again,
cause I miss the way
Miss the way we made love.

I ran across a picture, a picture of us, I admit I almost cried oh......
It made me realize how much I miss ya
how my life ain't been the same since you're gone,
Left on my own--left with an empty space
can't hide everything reminds me of you,
Next thing I know that's when I see your face.

And I know all I need,

Just one night to be with you again,
cause I miss the way
that it felt when we made love,
Just one night to be with you again,
Cause I miss the way...miss the way we made love.

Uh I hope that you've been,
That you've been missing, missing me the way I miss you,
Its so confusing my mind I'm losing, and I hide it everyday,
Left on my own--left with an empty space
can't hide everything reminds me of you,
Next thing know that's when I see your face.

And I...And I know all I need is,

Just one night to be with you again,
cause I miss the way
that it felt when we made love love love love
Just one night to be with you again,
Cause I miss the way miss the way we...made love

[R-Les]
Listen I miss you I'm scared I'll be real with it
Nights get cold but I deal wit it
Me in the club with an ill fitted
I know u feel me though uh...
can't sleep at all in my bed right
You can try today get my head right,
It's like I'm trapped in some head lights I can't make moves,
I'm thinking back to the days we were so tight
No lights make love right all night
I'm having ill flashbacks like a strobe light
I know ya feel me girl. Huh.....
See I understand what you run for
So your eyes don't cry but you're unsure
All u really need is one more just one more
I'll give it to ya!!

Just one night to be with you (One night to be with you) again,
Cause I miss the way
I miss the way we made love love love
Just one night to be with you again,
Cause I miss the way miss
The way we...made love
Yeah uh haahhhhhhhhh whoooo ahhhhh

Cassie - Start

Ventura was born in New London, Connecticut.Her father is Filipino and her mother is African American. Cassie attended the preparatory Williams School on the Connecticut College campus in New London, graduating in 2004. Cassie is best known for her single "Me & U", which is ascending the Billboard charts.

Ventura became a recording artist unexpectedly. Shortly after being introduced to music producer, Ryan Leslie, Cassie's mother requested that she record a song for her as a birthday gift. Ventura approached Leslie about producing the song, and he put together a duet for them called "Kiss Me". As it turned out, Ventura's mother wasn't the only one who loved the song. Leslie played "Kiss Me" for Tommy Mottola, former chairman of Sony, and the record mogul behind the careers of Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Simpson, and most notably Mariah Carey. He offered Ventura a management deal, and weeks later she struck a deal with Leslie to produce her debut album. She signed with Diddy's record label Bad Boy and Recordings, after he heard the track "Me & U" played in a club.

Before the launch of her music career, Ventura was a fashion model for the Wilhelmina modelling agency, where she worked with Adidas, Complex magazine and Abercrombie & Fitch campaigns, among others. As early in her modeling career as 2002 she modeled for local department stores, the Delia's fashion catalogue and the popular magazine Seventeen.

Cassandra Ventura

Cassandra Ventura (born August 26, 1986), professionally known as Cassie, is an American pop/R&B singer and former fashion model. She is best known for her hit 2006 single "Me & U".

just as literary

I find it an appropriate starting point to remark that according to my private research the 'historical Jesus' is a near "total myth" (see Acharya S, The Origins of Christianity and the Quest for the Historical Jesus Christ, 2001). Gautama The Buddha is too – a remarkable disclosure I should think, being as I am so deeply intimated with Bauddha tradition. I mean obviously, "a priest." Yet I would hope that my present ad libitum extensions of assumptions – apropos the quasi- and/or erstwhile historical figures being "just as literary" (if I may put it that way), or as "textual" as the beastly crucified Jesus – I would therefore hope to be granted a little standing as per the primmediacy of my puzzling motives. I mean really, if I'm so jolly willing to deprive my self of my own safe haven by biting, as it were, the very hand that feeds me - then please understand that I'm NOT out for scalps.

CASSIE

Eingeweihten dürfte CASSIE zumindest optisch schon bekannt sein: Sie modelte für Missy Elliotts „Respect Me“-Linie und spielte die Hauptrolle in Marios Single-Clip zu „Here I Go Again“. Producer Ryan Leslie entdeckte CASSIE in einem Club und traf sie im Winter 2004 auf Diddys Birthday-Bash wieder. Ein Geburtstagslied für ihre Mutter war dann der Auslöser für CASSIE, mit Ryan zum ersten Mal in ihrem Leben ins Studio zu gehen. Und nicht nur ihre Mutter war begeistert – so nahmen die Dinge ihren Lauf...

Der große Durchbruch für CASSIE kam allerdings über das Internet, und speziell über das legendäre Musikforum MySpace.com. „Zuerst lief der Song nur auf MySpace,“ erklärt die Sängerin, die in New London, Connecticut, geboren wurde und nach der High School statt aufs College lieber ins Showbusiness in New York ging. „Von da ging er dann ins Radio, bis er im ganzen Land gespielt wurde.“ Aber noch etwas anderes passierte: Über MySpace sickerte Me & U in die Clubs nach Europa und wurde speziell in Deutschland ein massiver Underground-Clubhit - lange vor der Veröffentlichung in den USA. Und man kann sicher sein, dass die große CASSIE-Welle hierzulande noch ins Rollen kommt.

Das Video zum Track drehte niemand geringeres als Ray Kay, der CASSIE im beeindruckend stylishen Setting eines alten New Yorker Lofts platzierte. Optisch sowie tänzerisch atemberaubend in Szene gesetzt, gibt CASSIE mit dem Clip eine stilprägende Vorlage für R’n’B-Videos einer neuen Generation.
Gemanagt wird CASSIE übrigens von Tommy Mottola (Der Mann hinter J.Lo, Jessica Simpson u.v.a.)

August 2006

In August 2006, an unreleased version of the video for Cassie's song "Me & U" appeared on YouTube, a popular video sharing website. In stark contrast to the more polished video that was shown on mainstream media outlets like MTV and BET, the original version depicts Cassie singing to an unidentified male (represented by the camera) before taking him home, presumably to engage in sexual intercourse. Latter scenes of the video depict Cassie caressing his genital region and then unbuckling his pants. She also dances around in a bra and panties while her companion videotapes her on a handheld camcorder. On her NS4LIFE Journal, the singer denounced the earlier video saying that it was "low budget" and "scarred the beginnings for a very bright future." She also said that she made the second version "clean" to preserve her "name and image."

Cassie is currently being questioned about her vocal ability after performances on TRL and 106 and Park. There is currently a petiton going around on the internet begging Diddy to drop Cassie from Bad Boy Records immediately.

Aretha Franklin

Aretha Franklin - The Queen Of Soul. ... Aretha Franklin is one of the giants of soul music, and indeed of American pop as a whole
As with so many models, Cassie wanted more. So, a few years back, an industry connection introduced her to the producer Rockwilder. He suggested Cassie take vocal lessons.

Cassie got further after mutual friends introduced her to producer Ryan Leslie, who had connections to P. Diddy's Bad Boy label. She signed to Leslie's production company last year, and, savvily, the two set up a Myspace site to expose their demos, including "Me & U." "I answered every E- mail that came in. I really got into it," Cassie says.

The site took off - to the point where deejays started playing the song from the demo alone. Eventually, that inspired the usual bidding war among labels. Diddy's Bad Boy won out.

His label needs the hit badly. Having lost smash acts like Faith Evans and 112, Bad Boy's only score of late has been through it's Southern division, thanks to Yung Joc. The imprint may advance the turnaround next week, once Cassie's self-titled debut album hits stores.

Cassie's disk benefits from a uniform sound. Leslie produced every track. While the disk takes detours to new wave rock, it's mainly bubblegum R&B, with a splash of synth-pop tossed in. The album's lyrics hone a sex-kitten persona for Cassie, a role she calls "my alter ego. It's really not me."

The candid singer is the first to admit that, vocally, she's "no Aretha Franklin." But Cassie can do a decent Janet Jackson. And so long as summer lasts, there's no need for her to do much more.

Bubblegum R&B with a splash of synth-pop

There's not a lot going on in the song - just a blip of a synth line, a tap of a beat and a voice as light as a lemon drop.
But clearly that's enough to have made "Me & U" one of the summer's defining singles.

This week "Me & U" hopped all the way to No. 1 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs (on the Pop Song list it's No. 3). The success surprised the song's mono-named singer, Cassie, as much as anyone.

"It's a really robotic song, with pretty much one note going all the way through," the 19-year-old admits. "At first I thought, 'How am I going to perform this?' I didn't expect it to go anywhere."

Then again, summer calls for the shedding of sounds as well as clothes. And there's no denying that "Me & U" has the same irresistible minimalism as an equally hot smash from last year: Snoop Dogg's "Drop It Like It's Hot."

There's also the teasing appeal of its lyric to consider. It presents Cassie as the sexual aggressor. "I'll love you all the way down/get you right where you like it," she purrs. "I promise you'll like it."

At least it's likely her object will like her looks. Like many modern singers, Cassie's entry into the recording world didn't come about by anything as old-fashioned as singing. She started out - you guessed it - as a model, appearing in campaigns for Abercrombie & Fitch, Adidas and Delia's.

The woman born Cassandra Ventura (whose gene pool draws from Mexico, the Philippines and the West Indies) did some singing as a child growing up in New London, Conn. But her first break came as a Wilhelmina mannequin at age 15.

Christina

Ich hatte mir schon immer gewünscht live bei einem Konzert von Christina dabei zu sein. Leider hatte ich nie die Chance dazu, was sich hoffentlich bald ändern wird.
Meine Freunde schenkten mir daher als Trost die DVD. Ich freute mich darüber, sah es aber als herausgeschmissenes Geld, da ich mir DVD's grundsätzlich nicht kaufe, da ich sie nur einmal sehe.
Nun... ich denk ich hab die DVD schon an die 20 mal gesehen und hab sie nun 2 Monate. Christina hat mich überzeugt auch wenn ich nicht live dabei war. Sie singt live, hat tolle Outfits und liefert eine klasse Performance.
Die Extras sind interessant könnten aber meiner Meinung nach etwas mehr sein. Sind aber in Ordnung.
Ich selbst habe die DVD dauerhaft im Player und lasse sie zwischendurch immer wieder laufen, da ich es einfach besser finde Christina live zu hören als auf ihrer Stripped CD, die aber auch weltklasse ist.
Also diese DVD ist sicher kein Fehlkauf, da sie nach einmaligen Ansehen bestimmt nicht in der letzten Schublade landen wird. Christina überzeugt einfach immer.
Es lohnt sich!

Me & U [Ryan Leslie Remix]

Ich hab den Song bei einer Freundin gehört und er ist mir sofort positiv aufgefallen. Cassie singt ihren song me&you mit einer sehr schönen r&b Stimme. Dazu gibt es einen schönen Hintergrundsound und einen netten text. Das alles zusammen macht den song perfekt. Ich habe einen Dauerohrwurm. Ich hoffe wir werden bald mehr von ihr hören denn Talent hat sie auf jeden Fall. Also jeder der gernen r&b hört, sollte sich dieses Lied zulegen.

Live and work in Canada

Due to growth in the Canadian economy and the continued shortage of skilled workers the Canadian Government seeks skilled workers with transferable skills rather than specific qualifications, to live and work in Canada. Targets for 2006-2007 allocate up to 116,000 visas for skilled worker applicants.
