Estelle's single "American Boy," which features Kanye West, can be tagged as the unofficial Labor Day hit of 2008. It's getting massive radio play. I've had two people call me up, sing me the song, and ask who sings it within the last two weeks. The next step for these people would be to go to iTunes and purchase the track, but it's not going to be so easy... In an unprecedented move, Estelle's camp (Warner Brothers) has removed her sophomore album Shine, which feature... MORE
I love any day that includes a new video from Estelle. But a day with a new video from Estelle and Cee-Lo is a GREAT day indeed! And that's what today is - a great day, featuring the new vid for "Pretty Please" off Estelle's fabulous album, Shine. (If any ads pop up at the beginning, I apologize. I got the vid from Estelle's own Tube channel, but you know how these things are nowadays...) It's tunes like this one that prompted my friends to ask why Estelle ... MORE
How fast did tickets sell out for Estelle's show in SF? Seriously. I found out about the SF show 2 weeks ago, but tix were already sold out. Estelle performs at The Independent tomorrow night, but, alas... I won't be there, nor my camera. Did you score tickets in time? Who's going? (I promise not to drool on your tickets or ask to lick your hand stamp.) Well, at least I have memories of the yumminess that is Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles. I ate there when... MORE
I know that this song has probably been discussed a million times here on MOG. And, I know i'm probably appealing to a different crowd than what I would normally write about, but I am madly in love. Estelle's american boy is perhaps one of the most epic songs of 2008, (or 2007 ... it just runs on and on!) But this song can never get old!! I would consider myself a serious non-fan of "r&b", completely and utterly (minus mary j and all that good stuff...) . I just don't ... MORE
UK singer/rapper, Estelle, is the first artist to be signed to John Legend's new Homeschool imprint which will release her sophomore album Shine in February 2008. Meanwhile, she's lined up tours with Amy Winehouse and Kanye West (probably Amy in the UK and Kanye in the US) and the first single from Shine, "Wait A Minute (Just A Touch)" will be released on November 19th. Her music and songwriting style has been compared to Lauryn Hill during her best days with the Fugees:... MORE

American Boy is the second single off of Estelle’s upcoming album Shine, which is slated for a May 6th release on John Legend’s ‘Homeschool Records’. This song has a huge retro feel, it's really interesting.

ESTELLE FT KANYE WEST - AMERICAN BOY

(The genre of music known as Urban in the UK - grime, RnB, dancehall, rap, etc.) I scooped up the new Estelle album Shine over the weekend and I've had it on repeat since. It's sooo good! I'd heard "American Boy" and "Just A Touch" a bunch of times already and decided that Estelle is the reigning Empress of Soul. So I was completely surprised when this smooth and sexy woman started chatting like Shystie - Empress of Grime - in the middle of one song, then like Patra -... MORE
This is a very cool track off Estelle's soon to be released album, "Shine." Just try not to like it.

So, "American Boy" was terribly infectious and so undeniable as a quintessential summer song, but "Pretty Please", Estelle's obvious homage to all things "Dreamgirls", Diana Ross, The Shirelles and neo-soul (that fledgling movement circa the end of the 90s/early Y2K...

Yesterday when I reported that Estelle would perform on David Letterman's show, it hadn't occurred to me that this would be her first network tv appearance. She's so smooth and confident, you would never know it, just watch:
Wow, she really impressed Dave! He's gushing like a school boy!
Estelle makes me care even less about that basketcase who thought she was a soul diva. (Amy whatsherhouse)
I just found out that Estelle will perform "American Boy" live tonight (Thursday) on The Late Show with David Letterman. The show starts at 11:30 PST on CBS, so tune in. Or, catch it on youTube tomorrow I suppose...
