I am sad to announce that the online petition to keep Cassie from ever poisoning our ears with her horrible singing has not prevailed. According to Billboard.com she will release her sophomore album on May 20th.

The first single hasn't been released yet but Cassie says it will be "a club record – something fun and danceable."

For those that my not know, Cassie stepped on the music scene in 2006 with a song called "Me & U" which peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100. Although the album debuted at #4 on the Billboard 200 charts, the album performed way below expectations with only 319,000 copies sold. Believe me, if you hear her sing, this would make complete sense.

I can honestly say that this is one album I will not even consider getting this year. I just knew that when I first heard her, some record company was playing a horrible joke on us. I still stand by that theory because the Bad Boy label she signed to is nothing more than a shadow of what it used to be. Remember when they had Total and Faith Evans? Now those we're the days.

"I'm just sayin"
