The 24-year-old Oklahoma-born songstress is signed to Roc Nation and has already penned hits for literally everyone. Ester is responsible for hits for artists from Kelly Clarkson (Mr. Know It All), Katy Perry (Firework), Nicki Minaj (Super Bass), and of course Rihanna (Rude Boy, S&M, What’s My Name?). “Gimmie Money” is the first track we are getting to hear from her debut album set for release later this year. With a feature from Nicki Minaj, the track is already a made for radio hit. “Gimmie Money” is definitely good but I’m sure Ester has some more tricks up her sleeve. It isn’t confirmed to be a single though so will just have to wait and see. What do you guys think?

Santi is going hard for this album, I can’t wait. “Disparate Youth” will be released alongside remixes from Switch, The 2 Bears, and more tomorrow (February 21) via iTunes. What do you guys think?

The visual serves as a great companion with Skylar serving some fierce looks in a variety of fantasy worlds. If you haven’t purchased the song yet then I recommend you do now.
