Ester Dean - Yeah Right (full) - listen
Since the release of the “Drop It Low” video, featuring Chris Brown, since getting their first look at Ester Dean, people have been eager to hear more material from her. We’ve heard her perspective as a writer, but folks wanted to hear more of Ester Dean as an artist. “Yeah Right” is supposedly a track that leaked from Ester’s album, which we have heard very little information about it. It’s produced by a team known as the Knightwritaz. Although not as catchy as “Drop It Low,” I see the potential in Dean’s material.
Ne-Yo - Love You (full) - listen
Seems as though more music from Ne-Yo has leaked, and this time, it’s “Love You,” produced by Chuck Harmony. Not sure if this is really material that Ne-Yo is cooking up for himself, because it could very likely be a demo for someone else. Some people may argue that Ne-Yo’s songs all sound alike, but this track really just obviously exposes Ne-Yo’s versatility. How you can go from this, to writing tracks like the new Rihanna single, “Russian Roulette” is truly incredible.
Rapper Kid Sister (best known for her hit song “Pro-Nails”), is finally releasing her long-awaited debut album, Ultraviolet, on November 17th on Downtown Records / Universal Republic. When she turned in her album, originally titled Dream Date, in September of 2008, she pulled a daring move and asked Downtown to hold off on releasing it.
“There were a few things about the album that irked me…the album wasn’t cohesive”, Young told Pitchfork in an interview earlier this year.
Downtown allowed her some time to make the album what she wanted, and she went back to work with executive producer A-Trak and the rest of the creative team behind Fool’s Gold. The album merges electronic music and club rap. Her latest single is “Right Hand Hi”, check it out here,
Just a couple of weeks ago, Chris Brown released his new single from his upcoming third studio album, Graffiti, featuring Lil’ Wayne and Swizz Beatz. Via his Twitter page, Chris also announced that ballad would follow-up.
“Crawl” is supposedly the dual first single from the new album. Interesting enough that a brooding forgiveness song leaks from Chris Brown after the leaking of Rihanna’s first single, “Russian Roulette.”
In any event, Chris shot a video with Swizz and Wayne this week for “I Can Transform Ya,” so if Chris is actually releasing two singles at once, we can expect one for “Crawl” to follow soon after.
Check out Rihanna’s first official single, “Russian Roulette” (written by Ne-Yo) from her upcoming new album entitled, Rated R. The “Russian Roulette” video, directed by Anthony Mandler, will premiere in prime-time on ABC soon.
The song is slow tempo ballad but we heard she had some dance tracks on the new record too. I guess we will have to wait until November 23rd to hear more.
Check out the video for “Happy”, which is the first single from Leona Lewis’ upcoming second studio album “Echo”. Written by OneRepublic’s vocalist Ryan Tedder.
“Echo” will be released on November 17th in the U.S. and Leona’s visit to Germany and London to promote the effort had been set earlier last week but both of the gigs were canceled because she was attacked by a man identified as Peter Kowalczyk during a book signing on October 14.
Check out this new Gucci Mane song entitled “Spotlight” featuring singer Usher. The song will be on Gucci’s HIGHLY anticipated forthcoming release The State vs Radric Davis coming this December.
