A snippet of “King of Hearts” has been floating around the Internet for a couple of months now.
Finally, Diddy’s number one chick Cassie decided the time was right to release the full version of her first single off her long overdue sophomore album.
MUSIC: Cassie “King Of Hearts” Demo
With “King of Hearts,” Cassie rides that European-pop wave that has flooded pop music over the last couple of years.
Over steady handclaps, and a escalating assortment of synth sounds, Cassie sings on the hook:
- You are the prince of charm.
- Seduction is your art.
- You never play my love.
- You’re just my king of hearts.
- You are my king of hearts.
The chorus is insanely catchy on this one, so we have a feeling this is going to stick with radio.
As for the video, it’s already shot and Cassie, fittingly, is going to release it on Valentine’s Day, which tells us maybe, just maybe, it’s a gift for her “King of Hearts” — Diddy.
It doesn’t seem like it, but it’s been an astonishing six years since Cassie has released her self-titled debut album. A time lapse like that usually means death for a pop star, but Cassie has been able to stay on the mind of most fans out there due to her on-again, off-again fling with her boss, Diddy.
We’re feeling where she’s going with this new album so far. What do you think?
