I think Cassie obviously still has a shot, anything can happen at this point and it's clear people still have some interest in her music after the reception RockaByeBaby got. Her next single or whatever can be "it" and everything just ~suddenly click for her to finally release the album. There's always examples of that happening in the music industry, especially nowadays. One thing she
needs to do is keep putting the material out as we've said in the past though, these constant disappearing acts are NOT cute but then again they do
fuel the Queen of Experimental R&B's mystique.

(...) There are upsides to Cassie's sporadic output, not least that it's conferred upon her a kind of cult status. She's been regularly sampled and remixed by bass music producers (seek out Jacques Greene's Marriage Proposal Mix of Must Be Love). R&B nerds who love her really love her, and if they're only fed tidbits, they stay hungry. But it's a big shame that she can't get the break she needs to make it on the wider stage, because she's a distinctive voice among a series of increasingly bland pop "superstars". She's more leftfield than those singers such Katy Perry or Rihanna who disingenuously make a big deal of how weird they are – "I am different to those girls, who I love, but good different, I think," she told me – and the material she has managed to release so far has effortlessly bridged the gap between the blogs and the clubs. There's still a chance for her to make her mark, of course, but six years is a long time in the pop game, and her time could well be running out.

Honestly I know it's frustrating as hell but at least when we do get something new it will be extra special as usual. And I disagree with this article's refering to her getting a break "to make it on the wider stage", I don't think she needs and wants that. I just want her to have some sort of commercial (?) success again so we can also get another proper project.
