Editorial Reviews

Born in Toronto, Canada in 1989, Steele wasted no time immersing herself in the arts. As a first grader, she began crafting her own made-up songs to go with her poetry, then began taking singing lessons, following a very early musical stage career made possible by her family: "Karaoke geeks," says Cassie with a smile. A natural performer, Cassie has been a regular cast member on Degrassi: The Next Generation since she was eleven years old, growing up onstage as her character Manny Santos. At the age of thirteen Cassie wrote and recorded the song "Prayer," which was used nationally to promote HIV/AIDS awareness and first brought Cassie's musical abilities to the fore. A successful debut album, How Much For Happy? was released in 2005, followed by two Canadian tours, highlighting Cassie's evolving talents as a singer, songwriter and performer. All of this leads up to Cassie Steele 2009. She's got a new CD, Destructo Doll, ten songs, produced by SuperSpy, that she's written which reflect the life experience of a wise-beyond-her-years nineteen year old. The music rocks hard-- really hard-- at times, then transitions into a gorgeous mid-tempo sonic landscape. "You and I" is a love song, stunningly honest and simple in its beauty, and masterfully showcases the nuances of Cassie's voice. That voice turns, well, Steeley, as Cassie ups the volume and rocks with wild abandon on "Groupie," "Rock Star Beau," and "Monster," a playful nod to fellow Canadian musicians Heart. With "Mr. Colson," her breathy delivery is reminiscent at times of Chrissie Hynde Track Listing 1)Groupie 2)Mr. Colson 3)Monster 4)You and I 5)Hollywood 6)Check it 7)Summer Nights 8)Rock Star Beau 9)Cliche 10)Go Bark

Didn't expect this out of Manny on Degrassi. I am a huge Degrass;The Next Generation fan and when I heard Cassie Steel had a cd out, I thought I'd give it a listen. I was expecting bubblegum and I got hard candy. She's slowly becoming my go-to cd when I don't know what to listen to. Although this is a great cd, it's a very mature one. Language, sexual references, etc. I wouldn't recommend it for younger kids. Overall, I really love this album & can't wait till she hits the states a little more. Give it a listen, you won't be disappointed. Favorite Songs: Mr. Colson, Cliche, and Go Dark

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprise Super Talent!, September 6, 2009

I have just gotten into Degrassi, and Manny (Cassie) was an instant standout. I looked her up on iTunes for "Life is a Show," a catchy bubblegum pop song from the Degrassi movie... But instead I stumbled upon this, Destructo Doll... An album that changed my life. This woman, who let's not forget is only 19, is an incredible talent, vocal and songwriting-wise. Her deep and dark grunge rock music is the last thing I would have excepted, but it was defiantly a pleasant surprise. I really like "Hollywood" which is very blusey-rock-ish, and it tells a story of a girl who goes to Hollywood and loses everything. I also really love "Check It" and "Mr. Colson," plus all of the other songs. However, some (most) of them are a tad bit (a lot) adult themed. Ex. "Groupie" (Baby put your sex on me... Ain't nothin' like groupie love/Short and sweet and hot as [...]) and "Summer Nights" (On the beach smokin' trees... Hey Bobby Don't you want me/I told you I was horny...). That considered, unless you're under high school age, don't let that stop you from buying it because it saved my life (well maybe I'm over exaggerating) and I know it could someone elses too.
