I'm confident that her working with Uness will be good. He can be a bit corny at time though.
He did write on "Not With You" and I think that's one of best tracks on the album. Cory Bold tracks that have been on albums are generally average, but I know he has really good stuff up his sleeves that no one really uses for some reason.

"Not With You" would have been good as a single.

"Not With You" would have been good as a single. Especially, if they had released it in December followed by Ditto in March or April. No one has faith in album these days after a single flops.

I Could see Neptunes giving Cassie a beat like(Pharell's"Take It Off"). Then again a electronic Timbo beat

I mean her album didn't even sell all that much anyway. I think they are just trying to satisfy a contract at this point. She should def work with Stargate and Ne-Yo this time around too. I think that would work well for her. I would prefer her working with Danja than with Timbaland. Same quality at a cheaper price, LOL. I can see Polow giving her something really mellow aswell.

She's just starting working on the album recently. Production from Ryan Leslie, Cory Bold and Uness. She has met lots of people lately and I'm sure she'll work with more (better) producers and songwriters as well. I also forgot to add that Corey Williams will probably be writing on the album too. None of this is set in stone, but it's more than obvious just because they like to keep things within the NextSelection family.

Looking forward to it. Her first CD was fire, even if she sucks butt live. Yeah, I feel the same way. I like watching artists perform live, but what it sounds like recorded is more important to me. LOL, not that she sounds amazing on the CD either, but I find her voice oddly soothing for some reason.

they should poop out 1 more single from her debut before they go working on her 2nd album. I love "What Do U Want".. & Ditto. :) && I love how Professor said "soft album sales" , as a nice way of saying "kaFLOP." . :)

He was being nice, LOL. Either way, if Bad Boy let's her go she'll just go to whatever label Ryan Leslie sets up with NextSlection. I think that's the point of them rushing this anyway. I have a feeling this next album will do better than the last anyway. No 2 year old tracks will be on it this time. Although, I wouldn't mind "Can't Do It Without You" on it, LOL.

I guess this would be a good time to post her singing acapella again. LOL. A new beginning always requires proof! LOL.

I'm just happy Diddy didn't drop her. Then again he ain't doing much better with his album so that's probably why.
