Pump This - Estelle

For all you New Music lovers like myself, here's a little something different to soak you ears in. Peep out Estelle from the UK with her new album, Shine.

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: smooth rhymes paired with soulful singing. Shine features collaborations with Kanye, Will.I.Am, Wyclef Jean, Swizz Beats, Cee Lo, and The Leg as well as John Legend himself. Estelle says she speaks her mind on the album and writes about real life. She says it's an album that young and old alike will get.

This Mogul is feeling her steeze for sure. Nice to see another singer from the UK who DOESN'T resemble the zombies down on 5th ave in downtown. Props to imeem for the stream. Don't take my kindness as weakess here. Just make sure you support her and cop this album.
