I love her style and her voice, def recommend this one, dont sleep. Love this album from top to bottom, it is very nice.
the instrumentals of the other songs do not compliment her soft, sweet, tone. she needs rhythmic bass tones to contrast w/ her voice to make it stand out.
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. e.g.
if you've heard american boy and come over, you've heard the best this cd has to offer. its a shame b/c the potential for enjoyment is there.she carries lovers rock/dancehall tracks well.
her production team did not maximize the strengths of her voice.
instead she sounds like a back-up singer, singing lead most of the time.
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. Looking at her gorgeous brownskinned face and seriously fabulous wardrobe, I saw a kindred fashionista as well as a talented singer/rapper. 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. 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.
Ok, I'm now making it a priority to get this album. I simply listened to the sample of the cd and I'm definitely feeling her vibe on EVERY track.
I can't wait to see what this singer as to offer up next. I hate that I almost slept on her stuff, but now my ears are open to her. I recommend this album if you want to jam to nice beats laced with a singing/rapping style. This Brit chick is on fire. I love the CD.
