The singer who inspired rapper Jay Z to name his daughter Blue Ivy has dropped a new single.

Blu Cantrell once dated Jay Z before he met Beyonce. Apparently, Jay Z was very impressed by Blu’s oral skills.

The 36-year-old singer dropped her new single “SOS (Tell Me Where You At)” off her upcoming album, which is set for release in April 2013.

Blu’s debut album, Bittersweet, was relased in 2001. Her first single off Bittersweet, “Hit ‘Em Up Style (Oops!),” reached #2 on the Billboard charts and made Blu an overnight star.

Sources say Blu and Jay Z’s relationship didn’t last because she was too smart for him.
