"Activate" Is Activated Ahead of Schedule...
The Smash Single "Activate" that we did for Cassie, got leaked this week.
This was unfortunate because it wasn't supposed to be out until the fall....however Cassie has a widespread fan base and keeping her new music under wraps has proven a tough task, with several leaks of her music in the past few months.
Her new album is greatly anticipated, so fans are hot on her heels for new music.
I was in the studio with her in June, when we tracked this, and the song wasn't supposed to be released until the fall.
However, Cassie's current single "Official Girl" had a similar leak prior to it's official release, which thankfully didn't hinder the record from becoming a smash hit at radio, and now - smash video with it's premiere on MTV yesterday, which also features Lil'Wayne.
The great thing is that all the blogs and comments on the song have been very positive, with some people even calling "Activate" her best song to date.
Below are the links to the pages and blogs that covered this story....(some blogs say that this was produced by Timbaland, but that was incorrect, it was actually produced by Top Dawg Ent. , written by yours truly & will feature Bad Boy's very own - Diddy on the official release of the song.)
