highly recommended

The UK?s finest, multiple award-winning artist Estelle is back with a brand new album on a brand new label. Signed by US ?Soul Sensation? John Legend to his Homeschool label, the album is a joint venture between Homeschool and Atlantic Records.

"I have known John for a while now...we worked on my first album 18th day before he was signed. He featured on "Hey Girl," played piano on "Free," and appeared in the video. As I went to do my second album I asked him to help exec-produce it. As I progressed with it, I left my label and he said he?d sign me and here we are today. We always make great songs together. While I like and listen to a lot of musicians - there aren?t many I respect on a level to help me write songs or upgrade/push me as an artist...but John is one of them."

The album features collaborations with the likes of Kanye West, Will.I.Am, Wyclef Jean, Mark Ronson, Ceelo, Swizz Beatz who are just some of the ?hitmakers? that Estelle has been in the studio with...and of course, John Legend.

She's making "American Boys" Hot Again!

I'm so loving Estelle's CD, I bought "Shine" on the strength of just the "Pretty Please" video! I then heard "American Boy" with Kanye, and was even more intrigued with Estelle. Looking at her gorgeous brownskinned face and seriously fabulous wardrobe, I saw a kindred fashionista as well as a talented singer/rapper. I had the pleasure of looking at her "1980" video a few hours ago, and now I have to run down her first CD and buy it. I want more Estelle, and I thank John Legend and Kanye West for noticing her genius and allowing this American Girl the chance to hear her fabulousness.

Estelle A Belle

This Brit chick is on fire. I love the CD. I hate that I almost slept on her stuff, but now my ears are open to her. I can't wait to see what this singer as to offer up next! I recommend this album if you want to jam to nice beats laced with a singing/rapping style.

HOT to death!!!

I simply listened to the sample of the cd and I'm definitely feeling her vibe on EVERY track. Ok, I'm now making it a priority to get this album!

Tight album

Love this album from top to bottom, it is very nice. I love her style and her voice, def recommend this one, dont sleep...

no where near her potential

if you've heard american boy and come over, you've heard the best this cd has to offer.

her production team did not maximize the strengths of her voice. the instrumentals of the other songs do not compliment her soft, sweet, tone. instead she sounds like a back-up singer, singing lead most of the time. its a shame b/c the potential for enjoyment is there.

she carries lovers rock/dancehall tracks well. she needs rhythmic bass tones to contrast w/ her voice to make it stand out. e.g. her duets w/ legend are nice b/c of his darker voice (even though he slurs alot).

she is hot on track 7 of legend's new cd.
