The New York Times has an article on interludes where Ryan Leslie talks about the fact that, while they recorded interludes for the album, it was decided to go interludeless.

But Ryan Leslie, a Bad Boy Records collaborator who produced the No. 1 R&B hit “Me & U” for Cassie last summer, decided not to include interludes on Cassie’s self-titled debut album, which he also produced, even though several had been recorded. “Until we can train a new generation to get into the full creative vision of the artist, the need for interludes may be diminishing,” Mr. Leslie said. But “once we get people to say, ‘O.K., this artist is much more than a song,’ like with a Stevie Wonder, I think you’ll see a resurgence.”
