Changing Faces is an American female R&B duo, consisting (originally) of singers Cassandra Lucas and Charisse Rose, that was initially active from 1994 until their hiatus in 2000.
In August 2009, a then-unreleased Changing Faces song was leaked online, titled "Crazy Luv". The song was rumored to be on an upcoming new album, but had not been confirmed by Lucas or Rose. Rumors circulated that the track was to be the duo’s lead single off of a new album, which was rumored to be released sometime in early 2012. [1]
On September 18, 2011, during a special appearance at the RnB Spotlight Concert, with Lil’ Mo at BB King's Blues Club in New York, Changing Faces member Cassandra Lucas announced (on Kempire Radio and on YouKnowIGotSoul.com) that she and fellow Changing Faces member Charisse Rose were in the recording studio working on a new project that would be released in 2012, with a lead single being released shortly. She also stated that the duo never "broke up", and was working with R. Kelly on new music. [2] [3]
On April 3, 2013, Changing Faces released a new single, "Hate Love", via iTunes. A music video was filmed but was not released. [4]
In 2014, Changing Faces was scheduled to perform at a Rhythm & Blues Superstars concert in the United Kingdom; however, Rose had brought-along Reefy Scott, a third singer whom was also a new member of the group, to tour and perform without informing Lucas beforehand. As a result, Lucas filed a lawsuit towards Rose, despite the duo mutually-agreeing to halt any plans for a reunion. [5]
In September 2013, it was announced that Cassandra Lucas was working on a solo album [6] in addition to forming a new label CRC Musik with her husband Noel “Chris” Absolam and business partner Richard Smith. [7] Her debut solo single, "Damn" was released on September 3, 2013. [8] She released subsequent singles "Music & a Beat" in July 2017 [9] as well as "Give Love a Chance" [10] and "I Love You" [11] later that year.
Lucas’ first single "Name on It" premiered in January 2018 and became a hit on the Urban AC chart. Her second single "Take Me Home (Remix)" featuring Ron Browz and HoodCelebrityy will receive major promotion with the music video scheduled to film throughout the historical African American Day Parade in Lucas's Hometown of Harlem.
In April 2019, Cassandra Lucas released her debut solo album Long Way Home... The Intro. [12]
Charisse Rose performed at a 1990s World Pride Concert in June 2019 with Reefy Scott as the new member. [13] [14]
