Bad Boy's electro-R&B princess Cassie has released a steamy 40-second preview video for 'King of Hearts,' the lead single from her forthcoming untitled album.

The 25-year-old struts down a hallway wearing nothing but hotpants and two carefully-placed straps in the short clip. Later on she poses suggestively on a bed while a mystery man waits outside with a camera.

Incredibly it has been over five years since Cassie released her self-titled debut and platinum-selling single 'Me & U.' Since then, the Connecticut-born singer has had to fight off rumours of being dropped from the Bad Boy roster and suffered numerous setbacks with her follow-up album.

However, in August Cassie announced the record - tentatively titled Electro Love, is finally complete and ready for release in early 2012.
