I just received a quick notice from someone in marketing at Bad Boy, regarding a recently leaked track called "Soldier 4 Love" that had been attributed to Cassie. The reason they sent the note was to let me know that this track is not actually Cassie, going on to say that Cassie and/or Bad Boy have no affiliation with the song.
Cassie announced through a YouTube video (below) that "Official Girl" will be released on iTunes on August 5.
You can listen to
the single version of "Official Girl" on Harve Pierre's MySpace. This version includes some adjustments and the addition of Lil' Wayne.
In a video posted on her MySpace, Cassie announced that the video (and single release) of "Official Girl" is due out on August 1. Watch below.
Cassie posted
three image stills from the "Official Girl" video on her MySpace. Lil' Wayne is featured in one of them.
MTV spoke with Cassie about the lead single from her upcoming album, "Official Girl". She also talked about the appearance of Lil' Wayne on the track and how it came to be. Watch below for a video clip.
"Puff surprised me with it," the singer said of Wayne's verse. "He laid the verse. I had no idea. I got on the phone and said, 'Thank you.' It's great. With how he's doing now ... he's platinum today, and he decided on his platinum day to be here with me. It's great. He's one of the best rappers out right now."
An
MTV News article on a Lil' Wayne/T-Pain collaboration contained the following aside:
Weezy confirmed the report with a simple "Yeah" on Monday in Los Angeles, where he was filming his spot in Cassie's new video "Official Girl" before he performed later in the day at a sold-out House of Blues.
I love this song, but it reminds me too much of "Conceited" by Remy Ma. Cassie adds her own little twist to it though. I can't wait for a new video from her.
