Estelle ~ Sunshine Album Review

The Homeschool Records signee (John Legend's record company), Estelle, has captured many hearts (well mine at least) with her single "American Boy". It is crazy how people not from here notice the beauty within us and then we see how wonder we really are. "American Boy makes me feel good about be from here well Jersey at least and she doesn't even mention Jersey. But the album def. doesn't drop the ball. The opening track " Wait a Mnute" although it may receive to Floetry for its singing and rapping feel, Estelle definitely distinguishes are herself from her fellow London mates. (Wil.I.Am starts the album off right) "Shine" and "Pretty Please" continue the soultry deliverance with the help of Swizz Beatz on the boards and Cee-Lo Green. "You Are" is a gem. One of my favorites on the album as the signer, John Legend, assists the new comer and puts his "John" on the track. You like JL you like this song.

The next two tracks "Back In Love" and " More than Friends" will have everyone reminiscing on their own love tales and deliver. May sound a lil Corrine Bailey Rae at a few notes but not enough to really notice of care. Oh, one half of Floetry actually shows up on "More Than Friends" just minutes i spoke them up. Then the London lass takes a trip to the Caribbean and gives us a couple Bob Marley mellow (maybe blaze for those that smoke) music that you can really feel. Then Estelle gets back on her B-Girl s*** with the summer tale of a females dream with "In The Rain" and the real good hip hop with Wyclef and Jean Grae featured "So Much Out The Way". The final tracks ends the album with everyones main concern of a relationship "No Substitute Love" cause no one wants to be the side piece!.... The album is tough. Just as a hand full are "helping" preserve the adored art of hip hop,Estelle are definitely doing her part to save hip hop and RnB. Enjoy the playlist and BUY the album.
