The
Dream MySpace has a couple of new tracks in it's music player that are alternate takes to songs that you may already be familiar with. Bow Wow was slated to be featured on the single version of "In My Dreams," from Dream's debut album, which was meant to be the third single, but was cancelled.
"Crazy" featuring Loon was the first single from Dream's eventually shelved second album, but before Loon was on it, Eve was on "Krazy". From what I heard from one person close to the situation, her label wouldn't clear it and Loon was inserted.
The second album from former Bad Boy girl group Dream, "Reality," was finally released today in the U.S. after having been shelved in 2003 and subsequently released
in France. Well, it was sort of released, anyway.
In a blog post on the
ClockWork Entertainment MySpace (Dream's former management company), they say that Diddy approved the release and it should be on iTunes in July. There is a Snocap store embedded into the post, in the mean time, that has "Reality" in two parts, totalling 14 tracks. But, the album released on the French site was 17 songs long.
The ones that are missing are "It Could Happen," "Promise Me" and "Controlled". "Controlled" appears to have been released as part of the
material that was released last Sunday. It was labeled as "Come and Get It", but upon listening, the word "controlled" is featured heavily in the chorus. There was also an alternate version of the song included in the unreleased material.
Debbie Hammond, who discovered the group and brought them to Bad Boy, confirmed to me that the reason for "Promise Me" was not included was because Jordan McCoy had recorded it. We
reported that she had added it to her MySpace last October. It has since been removed. Similarly, "It Could Happen" is also being held back for consideration to be a part of McCoy's project.
Updating
Nikita's report from earlier today, a person at the label confirmed to me that the four tour dates (Orlando, Pompano Beach, Detroit and Phoenix) have been cancelled, but said the remaining six dates remain. The tour will begin in New York on May 28. No reason was given for the cancellations.
According to
Ticketmaster and
The Arizona Republic, the following dates have been cancelled:
Orlando, FL
Pompano Beach, FL
Phoenix, AZ
Detroit, MI
A request for comment sent to Bad Boy Records regarding these cancellations was not immediately returned. Please continue to check back for further updates.

Random notes: On the sixth album, if you look at Snocap, there is a track called "Let's Go", but it's incorrectly labeled. It's actually "Here I Am". "Save Me" and "Sometimes" are both included twice and appear to be the same track in each of the instances.
Ashley Poole was one of the members of Dream and it appears that some solo tracks of her are included here. I don't know who Allie Madrid is. I hope to have more details on this soon. I'm also working on placing some of these tracks into a time line to get a sense for when they were all recorded. Hopefully, I'll be able to get more production details, as well.
