The UK R&B songtress Estelle is back with a new track called “Call These Boys.” The track is off of what appears to be her upcoming project “Love and Happiness Vol. 1: Love Jones” which we can expect soon. Looks like we can add another jam to our summer playlists! Take a listen to the new track below.

We can’t be made when there is work in the kitchen and it looks like the chef is cooking up some heat for the summer time. Check out these two tracks from Raekwon after the jump…

1. Adele – 21 – 246,529 - I’ve run out of compliments to give Adele. This is just ridiculous now. FYI, she’ll be 8x platinum next week.

2. Whitney Houston – Greatest Hits – 112,065 - No real surprise here either. Whitney’s daughter is getting everything though. And everything as in ev-er-y-thing.

6. Tyga – Careless World – 37,413 - I hear “Faded” is probably looking like the next single. Good move.

8. Drake – Take Care – 29,832 - Is it me or has it been a minute since Drizzy dropped some new music? Now imagine what the net will do if he does one of those “drop-a-track-at-4-a.m.” again.

9. Rihanna – Talk That Talk – 25,302 - If Rih-Rih shoots a new video for this and there’s a clip of her eating rice cakes, Twitter may break.

27. Jay-Z & Kanye West – Watch The Throne - 15,109 – With all this talk of a sequel, what I really want to hear is a video for “Who Gon’ Stop Me” is being filmed.  (Keep reading…)

Grammy award winning Estelle is gearing up to release her new album “All Of Me” and decides to give the world the first single off of the album. The song is produced by Don Cannon and features Rick Ross. No official release date for the album as of yet, but I would guess it would be releasing during the summer. Both the clean and dirty versions of the song are available for purchase on Estelle’s website.

Glad to see a dope song is getting a visual to do it more justice. This pic and the ones after the jump were taken at the shoot for Estelle and Nas‘ record, “Fall In Love.” A nice tune with the weather heating up if I can say so. Jesse Williams, of “Brooklyn’s Finest” and “Grey’s Anatomy” fame, plays the guy Estelle is after in the video.

Other cameos in the video include John Legend and Charli Baltimore‘s daughter (you’ll see the pic). She actually plays Legend’s love interest. The project was directed by Sanaa Hamri who also has films like “Just Wright,” “The Sisterhood of Traveling Pants” and “Something New” already attached to his resume’.

Looking at the title, it may seem ironic given Nas‘ recent divorce from Kelis. Instead, this deals with music. The verdict is still out on his album with Damian Marley, but this aforementioned song deals with Nas collaborating with the songstress from across the pond, Estelle.

It won’t result in the mainstream acclaim “American Boy” had, but the same uptempo vibe shows itself on “Fall In Love.” Nas, however, is the highlight of the song with an impressive guest feature. (more…)
