BMI NY Welcomes Cassandra Reed

Posted in News on July 28, 2003
BMI songwriter/artist Cassandra Reed (3rd left) and her collaborator, Steven Frank, also a BMI writer, stopped by the BMI New York office recently to hand out Cassandra's self-titled Peak/Concord Records debut CD. The album, released on July 22, is a sultry twelve-song collection that combines old school jazz, Aretha Franklin-inspired soul, and contemporary R&B with provocative lyrics and Billie Holiday-worthy vocal performances. The first single, "The Next Time," can be heard on AC radio and is currently #20 on MP3.com's Jazz Vocal chart, along with some of the CD's other tracks including "Only Human," currently at #3, and "Cruisin'" at #25. Jazziz magazine also named Reed one of 22 female jazz singers "who has the potential to be the next Norah Jones."
