Atlanta-based singer/songwriter The-Dream, who penned Rihanna’s chart-topper “Umbrella, will release his debut album, “Love Me All Summer, Hate Me All Winter,” Dec. 11 via Island Def Jam. First single “Shawty Is a Ten” recently re-entered Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart at No. 31 and has since risen 10 spots.
The next single will be the Tricky Stewart-produced “Falsetto,” a “song you play when you’re making love to your girl after you’re done dancing to ‘Shawty Is A Ten’ at the club,” according to The-Dream .
A video for “Falsetto” will be shot next month and will be followed with the release of a third single, “I Love Your Girl.” Rihanna and Fabolous make the only guest appearances on the set.
If the dream is not yet on the spot he’s been doing a lot of ghostwritting, he wrote for J. Holiday’s second single, “Suffocate,” which will be serviced to radio in the coming weeks. He has also worked with Celine Dion on the song “Skies of L.A.” and Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger on “Power’s Out…”
