SOHH ON THE SCENE
[Video] Wow....This New Singer Estelle Is The Truth! Listen To Her New Album Too!
Posted on April 21, 2008 2:50 PM
Last week I [Gyant] had the chance to meet & greet UK's soul singer Estelle here in the ATL. She's the new protégé of John Legend, as well as the first artist off his new record label, Home School Records. Atlanta's most influential voices in media all stopped by the Atlantic Records offices to chill out with the budding star. Y’all know how I do, I got pictures, and video for you all to check out below.
I can’t front, I really wasn’t too familiar with Estelle until I googled her about an hour before I was scheduled to stop by the Atantic Records offices. I mean I had seen her video and images on urban blogs around the internet, but I was never compelled to actually click play on any of her material.
However after meeting her and listening to the music I now can say that I’m a fan. Her music is a refreshing sound, and is a direct contrast to today’s overly produced songs that are often times sloppily executed by poorly skilled singers. But this chick is the TRUTH! Picture Amy Winehouse minus the hard drugs/tragedy and add a heavier reggae inspired tone – and you have Estelle. Her new album “Shine” has collaborations with Kanye West, John Legend, Wyclef Jean and a host of other musical talents.
If you’re on the fence about this soul singer – get off of it because this chick is what real music heads are looking for.
Now, I normally don’t purchase albums, but I believe in this project SOHH mcuh I'm going to support it by getting my copy off iTunes on its release date. But a nice CD from Atlantic would be nice for my CD player at home [hint, hint Cannon].
I had a more in depth sit down with Estelle that we will have on the site soon. All the rumors about her record label forcing her to get her teeth fixed are, in Estelle words, "rubbish".
LISTEN TO ESTELLE'S NEW ALBUM HERE
Talk to y’all lata,

Estelle is the shit!!!
If you live in or around LA, check out the hottest comedy show the 24th and 27th in North Hollywood at the Avery Schreiber Theater....
Her album sounds hot! I'm definetly buying that. I like her sound.
I usually DO NOT agree with ANYTHING that Gyant says (obvious reasons), but as far as Estelle....he couldn't be more right!
This girl is the TRUTH. I have been a huge fan for about a year now, and even ordered an import copy of her CD from Amazon awhile back....WOW is all I can say...
Add to that the fact that I had the opportunity to FINALLY see this talented sista live last week at Sugarhill in Underground ATL....she was PHENOMENAL..
she killed every song, and was very entertaining and engaged the audience..the duets with John Legend were an added bonus
If you are a lover of REAL MUSIC, be sure to cop that ESTELLE joint when it drops on April 29
Ya'll r gettin into Estelle now??? She BEEN out for a while
oh...and british artists r killn us here right now, step it up ppl
Yeah she the truth that song "Come Over" got the reggae scene dancin in the NYC.
You're a bit late on Estelle, but she is da truth, and so talented. And to top it all off her album is bangin', be sure to purchase your copy on 29 April cos you will not regret. I already brought mine cos the album was released earlier in the UK.
Yes she is the truth and she has also been out for a while now. A couple of months now!
weeks?? months?? Estelle been releasing albums for years now...y'all only jus knowin bout her coz she hooked up wit John Legend & Kanye...damn man...what it takes 4 real music 2 get heard these days - if sum 10 yr old kid had snapped his fingers & crossed his legs as a new dance the whole world would b raving about him...shame. Keep it up estelle u doin the uk proud!
You should check her 1st album, although it might not be available to the US, Estelle has always been shining.
Keep repping hard girl!
Estelle has always been a wack-ass rapper back in the UK. Now she trying to capitalize on some Nu-Soul singing shit?
American Boy is definitely a record that is not felt in the streets. and damn those teeth of hers are crooked
If i am not mistaken, i saw their profiles on a celebrity dating site called Wealthy Kiss.c o m where people are wealthy and
they're looking for companionship romance or love. maybe they know each other here.
Yeah Gyant is a bit slow on this on Estelle is definitly paused to make history across the pond all the way to the states. She is talented, attractive and she could flip it either way, sexy R& b or Brainy. I will definitely be copping that album!
She could actually take the lane that Amy Weinhouse has stolen away from Lauren Hill! Yeah Gyannt is a bit late on this one!
I have loved Estelle since about 2006 when I heard 1980 on a John Legend soul mix tape. She is indeed the TRUTH.
the last joint is official....
