WHERE MUSIC LISTENS TO YOU

So fresh...

Posted over 2 years ago
The UK's finest, multiple award-winning artist Estelle is back with 'Shine' - her stunning new album, set for release in February 2008. The first artist signed by US soul sensation John Legend, to his new Homeschool Records label, Estelle's new album features collaborations with Wyclef Jean, will.i.am, Swizz Beats, Mark Ronson and Kanye West, as well as a beautiful duet with John Legend. 'Shine' is a joint venture with 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 that I respect on a level to help me write songs or upgrade/push me as an artist… but John is one of them."John Legend continues: “I'm thrilled to be a part of Estelle's career. This album is truly an accomplishment. She will be one of the most of exciting breakthrough talents of 2008. Mark my words."

  4. joseexist says Great vid! Estelle come across as both streetwise-hip and intellectually formidable. Very tastefully done scenes! The vocals are fresh and clear-to-my-ears-understandable! I like it! Thanks Ruus!
