R&B and Pop star Cassie is covered on the current issue of ‘Complex‘ magazine this month.  She also is interviewed within the pages.  Here are a few of her answers.
Your career took off kinda fast. How much have things changed for you in the last year?
The last time around was just a hazy experience. I didn’t really know what was going on. I barely even knew that albums had concepts and a story, and that’s what sells records. I was a regular girl with a hot single. I think a lot of people missed who I am.

Was there ever a point you felt overwhelmed?
People ask you the same questions over and over that [have] nothing to do with the music or me being an artist, whether it’s the performances or “Why did you do that [YouTube] video?�? I hit a wall. So I started to get cheesy and read The Secret. [Laughs.]

Okay, Oprah. Why do you think people were hating so much?
Maybe it’s because it felt like I took it for granted and that I didn’t work hard enough. I didn’t know how powerful it was to have that big of a single. That’s why I’m going back
with vocal coaches and acting coaches so that if it doesn’t work out a second time, at least I can say I put 110 percent into it. People still have stuff to say. They call me “D-list,�? “America’s Favorite Non-Singer�?—or they say, “She needs to go back to modeling.�? Oh, I’ve
heard it all. [Laughs.]
