Never heard of her? Check out SoSo Def recording artist, Dondria, with her debut single, “You’re the One.”

If you’re not familiar with her, you should know that Jermaine Dupri immediately signed her to his imprint after she became a YouTube sensation, singing her heart out via her channel, garnering “fans” who made requests on which songs to cover.

The new track is her official first single, and was co-produced by Jermaine Dupri and Bryan-Michael Cox. She is currently in the process of wrapping up her debut album.

  22. Ms. Get !t B!tch

    I love this song….love the use of the organs…I think it’s different and refreshing to me. Something different from all this pop rock…

  23. Ms. Get !t B!tch

    Love the hook too!

  24. bigdaddyreg

    She will make good music, I love her sound, and her mixtape duets is hot also, a welcome change to all of the no talents in the music biz.

  25. MUSICWITHIN

    I lOVE DONDRIA!!!! KEEEP REAL SANGERS IN THE GAME YA’LL!!!

  26. Tiff.Will [TIFFANY.WILLIAMS]

    That looks NOTHING like Dondria..

    She sounds better singing other peoples songs. It’s not bad but..

  27. dale23

    THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT RIHANNA WOULD SOUND LIKE IF SHE COULD SING BETTER.

  28. Kyla

    I’ve never heard of her before but this song is really hot!
    She sounds really nice .. but her name ………

  29. Kyla

    DALE23,

    I thought of Rihanna when I was listening to Dondria sing ..
    She sounds like her .. a better version.

  30. JUDAH

    Jermaine Dupri is going to destroy this young woman.

  31. purplerain

    wow she looks completely different from when she was on youtube.

  32. Been Prissy Since1908

    Judah make love 2 me!

  33. Jade

    I like her voice and the lyrics, but the song itself is nothing special. It’s just not memorable..

  34. trace

    She’s giving it to me on the runs. Lol. I used to be addicted to Dondria’s videos.

  35. Suga Mama

    Dondria has a great voice.. I just worry because she doesn’t have that STAR QUALITY….

  36. Meadow

    Shouldn’t be first single…but the girl’s got a beautiful voice! Just lovely. Hope she does well…SWAG on divas!

  37. HUMBLEBEAUTY314

    I really like this. This is an excellent look for JD and SoSoDef. I never heard of the chick until now but finally somebody w/some damn talent. I’m diggin it. How in the hell do you pronounce her name tho? lol

  38. BritishNigerianJamaican

    i like it.

  39. Marquette_mc

    Phaffattt killing this… but for some reason she sounds like Beyonce on some parts of this to me!

  40. Cory

    I like Dondria a lot. I had the pleasure of Interviewing her in 2008 on my online radio show, and she’s a sweet girl. I love her voice it reminds me of an old school 90′s R&B tone.

  41. You've Been Blinded from the Truth

    Refresshing to hear some good music and singing.

  42. BlackBarbie

    Amazing voice, she closely resembles Rihanna’s bff lol

  43. lala

    I LOVE IT LOVE IT….I NEVER COMMENT BUT HAD TO THIS ONE TIME….R SOME OF YALL NOT LISTEN TO THE VOCALS…OR R YALL DEAF…THATS PURE TALENTS RIGHT THERE!!! ALOT YALL COMPARING HER TO RIHANNA, RIHANNA BARELY HAS ANY VOCALS DONT UNDERSTAND Y SHE IS WERE SHE IS TODAY. THIS GIRL ON THE OTHER HAND…TALENT!!! ALL DESE R&B ARTISTS R GONNA HAV TO WATCH OUT..STARTING NOW!!

  44. lilri_11

    Ive known dondria for forever weve been goin to church together since we were lil….i always knew she would make it cause all she loved to do is sing,,,IM glad to see talent make it from dallas, Texas

  45. yournamehere

    Digging the soulful sound.

  46. KS

    #27

    CO-SIGN!

    I think her voice sounds like a mix between RiRi and Bey…thats just me…Good song though

  47. Asea

    I like it. BUT I think the production could have been either (1) more polished or (2) more rugged to really complete the vintage feel.

    Also, more could have been done with the background vocals – more background harmony.

    If they did that it’s be a hit!

  48. Ms. Get !t B!tch

    Agree w/ Lala….

    Some of ya’ll are just deaf or either so used to Souljaboy and Lady Gaga that ya’ll don’t appreciate real R&B anymore….I love this song, I’ve been listening to it all day!!! Such a great song! Finally someone talking about love, and not Russian Roulette, and all this other confusing mess….love Rihanna too, but sometimes you just want to hear some music that gets to the real point…this takes me to the 90′s and I love it!!!!

  49. kaykay

    hot or not her name is butt ugly :(

  50. Tapiwe

    It’s OK, unfortunately, I think they’ve picked the wrong time to bring her out. They should have waited for Rihanna and Lady GaGa to do their thing first. She also needs to develop her own personal singing style.

  51. POSITIVE CHICK

    Yeah sh’es going for that soulful aura I see. I’m loving it

  52. reese

    she’s not even competing with rihanna and Lady Gaga.. This song is obviously, OBVIOUSLY an R&B smash… Really the only stations that have had it was Dallas and Jackson, MS.. Chicago just got it too.

    The organs really give it a soulful feel. very churchy. Her harmonies are really beautiful!!

  53. reese

    and to be honest, Alicia Keys would have sang something like this in the past and it would have shot to #1.. but I prefer Dondria’s voice by far.

    Wasn’t even a fan of this young lady on youtube, but this song really does it for me..

  54. LIFER

    DONDRIA’S HER OWN PERSON…REGARDLESS OF WAT TIME SHE COMES OUT..IT SHUD BE BASED ON VOCALS…ITS JUS A SINGLE OUT RIGHT NOW! PERFECT TIMING!!
    (UR BUT UGLY @ KAY KAY) LIK COME ON NOW, BE REAL
    —AGREE W/ MS GET IT, AND LALA
    I LOVE RIHANNA’S LOOK, BUT SHES MADE UP!

    DONDRIA SOUNDS AMAZING AND I LOVE THIS SINGLE!

  55. yep

    She reminds me someone else..maybe a mix of Solange Knowles and Keri Hilson.

    One thing that annoys me about songstresses lately is they tend to overpronounce certain consonants a la Beyonce..especially the “s” and “t”…can make many of them sound the same. The song is good otherwise.

  56. Cassie .;)

    LOVE THIS SONG. . . ive been watching her on youtube today . . .i had no clue who she was but thank GOD for new stuff !

  57. poetrysistah

    I really hope this girl makes it, she seems very talented, she’s gotta voice, true talent. I hope she sticks around 4 a long time.

  58. NICA

    I love the vocal…sounds lik a hit to me! JD has yet again found some good talent!

  59. Blah

    I never attempted to even listen to her music/videos..but man this is good.
