With a track list that features Kelly Rowland, Mary J.Blige, Usher and Cee-Lo, one could say DJ Cassidy‘s debut LP ‘Paradise Royale’ is a musical party of sorts.

Only right then, that he embraces a celebratory theme in his brand new visual for the single ‘Calling All Hearts‘, featuring ‘Go Stupid’ star Robin Thicke and ‘Price Tag’ purveyor Jessie J!

Shot in London, the mood-enhancing clip comes as part of Cassidy’s ploy to “bring the greatest and most universal dance music of all time back to the airwaves, back to nightlife, back to the dance floor.”

If industry whispers are anything to go by, Rihanna‘s eighth studio is shaping up to be quite the Pop masterpiece, with the star reportedly calling on chart-toppers across the globe to submit their best material for her consideration.

However, work on the release did very little to get in the way of her downtime recently, when she touched down in Paris and caught up with ‘Mine’ maker Drake.

Now, as the latter joins Beyonce in celebrating the success of the R&B number, Rihanna enjoyed all ‘Jean Paul Gaultier’ had to offer recently, when she hit his latest fashion show, birthed as part of the Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Fall/Winter 2014-2015.
