  <review>Cassie is the self-titled debut album by American pop/R&amp;B singer Cassie Ventura, released in the United States August 8, 2006 on NextSelection Lifestyle Group, Bad Boy Records and Atlantic Records.

Ryan Leslie produced most of the album, which is a mix of pop and R&amp;B. Ventura said in an interview, "I rap, I sing, I do my R&amp;B, I do my slow songs and stuff that the girls will love, I have a down South joint, I have a rock song that I did with my girls this band called Pretty Boys." She paid tribute to her Filipino culture by incorporating OPM sounds into some of the ballads.

Cassie debuted at number four on the U.S. Billboard 200 with 100,374 copies sold in its first week. It stayed in the top twenty for two weeks, in the top forty for three weeks and on the chart for twelve weeks. As of April 2008, the album has sold 321,000 copies in the US. The album's first single, "Me &amp; U", peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 and hit the top twenty in six other countries. The second single, "Long Way 2 Go", did not perform as well as "Me &amp; U" in the U.S., only reaching number ninety-seven on the Hot 100. Its music video did, however, peak at number three on MTV's TRL, and the single did well in the United Kingdom and reached number twelve on the UK Singles Chart.</review>
