Much to fans delight, Rihanna releases her second single from her anticipated sixth studio album, Talk That Talk, in the form of the Dr. Luke-produced track, “You Da One.”
The track is written by Ester Dean, who has penned plenty of hits for the young starlet since Rated R. Talk That Talk will hit stores November 21st.
Famed songwriter Ester Dean, who has been responsible for some of the biggest hits over the past couple of years, offers up her first solo offering since the hit, “Drop It Low.” Check out the new Stargate-produced track, “Take You To Rio,” lifted from the original motion picture soundtrack for the animated film, Rio.
Ester claims that she is working on a debut solo project, however, the material she’s recording for herself, she isn’t opposed to selling to any artist who’s willing to buy.
Songwriter Ester Dean teamed up with Chris Brown for a new track, “Love Suicide.”
You may remember they appeared on the hit, “Drop It Low,” from the More Than A Game motion picture soundtrack.
“Love Suicide” was produced by the European team, Stargate. No official word or information has been given about Dean’s debut album, however, she has recently been in the studio penning tracks for Keri Hilson and Christina Aguilera.
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.
