Estelle - Shine
It seems like the British are coming in waves to North America (Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen, Kate Nash and Duffy) but add another to the mix Estelle. Signed to John Legend's label she really delivers an amazing album. Her mix og R&B/Soul/Rap really bring's you back to Lauryn Hill. Some stand out tracks include the WHOLE ALBUM. Each song add's to the album and does not take away whatsoever. I will be dissapointed if she does not release another album. Because I have not felt this feeling about R&B in a long time.
Rating: Lyrics:35/40 (Really great love lyrics, but not at all chessy or carried away)
Tunefulness: 43/50 (Great producer's and Estelle's voice make this album great)
Originality: 8/10 (Although she is not re-inventing the wheel, she does what most artists wish they can do)
Overall: 86/100 (Great album, probably will be one of the best R&B album's of the year)
