<b><i>Paradise Royale</i> </b>this spring on <b>Columbia Records</b>. To evoke what he calls the "golden era of dance music," Cassidy reunited twenty-two of the most legendary musicians of the late 1970s and early 1980s for the first time in over thirty years
to channel the sound of their prolific era using no covers, no samples, and no interpolations. Cassidy then recruited twelve of the most revered and diverse recording artists from his own era to write and record original songs. The astounding list of artists
includes <b>Robin Thicke</b>, <b>Jessie J</b>, <b>R. Kelly</b>, <b>Mary J. Blige</b>,
<b>Passion Pit</b>,<b> Cee Lo Green</b>,<b> John Legend</b>, <b>Estelle</b>, <b>Chromeo</b>,<b> Ne-Yo</b>,
<b>Kelly Rowland</b>, and <b>Usher</b>. The iconic list of musicians includes <b>

for nearly two-thirds of his life, the artist is thrilled to be releasing his first album this spring. "Producing this album, I set out on a mission to bring the greatest and most universal dance music of all time back to the airwaves, back to nightlife, back
to the dance floor," says Cassidy.</span><span class="xapple-style-span"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
