Cassie's "Me & U" is the first track to get the remix treatment on this collection. Newcomer Tyler Nelson does the honors with two different mixes, a Dark Club Mix and a Private Mix. Both sound identical to me except that the Private mix has more breakdowns and buildups than the Dark Club Mix. Lots of drums and bass make for good mixes that are perfect for your prime time slot. Roc & Soul provide the other mix of this track. This version feels much poppier and keeps many elements of the original version. It's a good choice for those who like their mixes on the lighter side. Cassie's second single, "Long Way To Go," is also featured on this collection. The Maurice Joshua Club Mix is true to his style with lots of classic house elements, but it never really seems to get going. It chugs along for almost seven minutes at the same pace, which is also true to many of his mixes lately. Next up is the Matteo Esse & Sant Club Mix. Lots of synthesizers give this an electro feel, but it doesn't quite work for me. Cassie vocals are not a good fit for this style. Lastly is the Friscia & Lamboy Club Mix. This mix is the best one here. The drums and bassline surround the vocals perfectly and actually improve on the original production. It's not too hard, not too soft, it's just right.
