ESTELLE: SHINE
British born Neo-Soul singer Estelle has made her debut with her single "American Boy" featuring Kanye West. The question that arises is whether she is a one hit wonder that we are all so use to or a prospective upcoming legend? This bright smiled Brit seems to have made her footprints seen with her new album SHINE. This vibrant, innovative album utilizes Estelle's powerful vocals and creative collaborations to make it a HIT! She addresses love and relationships, or lack there of, in songs like More Than Friends and Pretty Please (Love Me) featuring Cee-Lo. She expresses confidence in Magnificent featuring Kardinal Offishall and addresses the old but never drawn out topic of the infidel partners in No Substitute Love. She also has collaborates with John Legend on You Are which is an instant playlist favorite. This cd has back to back hits and is a sure classic. Although Estelle is new to the U.S., her career looks very bright.
