Changing Faces (group)

Changing Faces was an American female R&B duo that was popular from 1993 until 2000 and reunited 2012. The group consisted of members Cassandra Lucas and Charisse Rose.
== Career ==
Lucas and Rose were backing vocalists for Sybil for two years before they formed Changing Faces. The pair returned to New York, where they worked at a dermatologist's office in Manhattan during the day while recording demos at night with producer Dinky Bingham. A local record producer heard the duo singing on the street and signed them to Big Beat Records, a subsidiary of Atlantic.
Changing Faces' first two singles—"Stroke You Up" and "Foolin' Around"—were written and produced by R. Kelly. The two singles reached the R&B Top Ten in late 1994, with "Stroke You Up" peaking at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. Changing Faces's eponymous debut was released in 1994 and went gold on the strength of the two hits.
Changing Faces returned in 1997 with their second album, All Day, All Night. Kelly produced "G.H.E.T.T.O.U.T.," the first single from the album and their biggest R&B hit to date, reaching number one on the R&B chart, and number eight on the Billboard Hot 100. A track from the album, "All of My Days", also appeared on the soundtrack to Space Jam. The group also participated in the soundtrack of the Eddie Murphy movie Dr. Dolittle with the song "Do Little Things" featuring Ivan Matias in 1998.
Their third release Visit Me, followed three years later. Visit Me includes the single "That Other Woman", which failed to make a major dent on both the pop and R&B charts. However, it did go to number five on the dance club play, becoming their only entry on that chart. In 2001, they contributed a cover of "One More Night (Phil Collins song)" to the Phil Collins tribute album, Urban Renewal (tribute album).[1]
In 2006, Cassandra Lucas sang background vocals on "Special Girl" for Donell Jones' album Journey of a Gemini.
In August 2009, a new Changing Faces song was leaked online called "Crazy Luv". The song was rumored to be on their new album, but was not confirmed by Lucas or Rose to be their comeback single off their new album, which was rumored to be released sometime in 2012.[2]
On September 18, 2011, during a special appearance at the RnB Spotlight Concert with Lil Mo' at BB King's Blues Club in NYC, Changing Faces member Lucas announced on Kempire Radio and on YouKnowIGotSoul.com that she and Rose were in the recording studio working on a new Changing Faces project that would be released in 2012, with a new single being released soon. She also stated that the group never broke up and was working with R. Kelly on new music.[3][4]
On April 3, 2013, Changing Faces released a new single "Hate Love" via iTunes. A music video was filmed but was not released.[5] In 2014, Changing Faces was scheduled to perform at an R&B Superstars concert in the United Kingdom - however, Rose brought along a new member of the group to tour and perform without telling Lucas. As a result, Lucas filed a lawsuit towards Rose - despite the duo mutually agreeing to halt any plans for a reunion.[6]
In September 2013, it was announced that Cassandra Lucas is releasing a solo album.[7] Her debut solo single, "Damn", was released on September 3, 2013.[8]She released a new single "Music & a Beat" in July 2017.[9] She followed it up with "Give Love a Chance"[10] and "I Love You"[11] later that year. Her latest single "Name on It" premiered in January 2018.
