Yay! I am so glad this is the next single. Idolator’s doing a “summer jam contest” and they used her “American Boy”, whereas I can easily see “Substitute Love” playing during a grown and sexy backyard party on a breez-y sunday afternoon.

Best internet radio station hands down is projectvibe.net – they play a mix of afro-beats, deep house, jazz and neo-soul……..In one sitting, you will hear everything from Groove Theory, Soul II Soul, Maxwell, Fela Kuti and Common!!!! Very dope!!!!

It is a great way to get you through you a day job

Enjoy Bellas

I LOVE Estelle’s CD. I find it refreshing! And of course, it’s nice that she has a Caribbean flavor…

Hi Bella,
Definately check out http://www.slacker.com
It’s an awesome site with great music. I love chill out/lounge music and they always play awesome music(one of my new favorites is Morcheeba).
I’ve used Pandora in the past but it requires a bit too much interaction for me.

I love Estelle! I agree with che…. it’s about time music got original again. Once again another rap album comes out with the same ol’ same ol’… it’s simply refreshing to have artists that know that we want to hear musicality and fresh lyrics. I also am really feeling her style is this video! I love the big a** black bracelet she has on with the black dress!

i love the fact that black music is taking a turn! stuff is getting unique! its not the typical rnb jams that u heard all the time. plus i love British music!! to me anything that comes from over the pond is better than whats over here..

Estelle is fabulous! What a talent. I think its great that she moved to the states to pursuit her dreams, ultimately black british artists are forced to because the british music industry is dead for black urban artists.

The video however did look cheap, I think its better to do a simple cheap classy video than do one that has a lot going on but still looks tacky.

Estelle is the hotness! I do like this video. (was that a cameo by that guy who won the last project runway?) She always seems like she’s in her own world with her styltastic approach to everything from makeup to swag to swagger. There’s something about Estelle for real!

I get the same wonderful feeling listening to her that I did when I first heard RES rock out. I just hope that unlike RES – who I still love, love, love… Estelle gets the buying audience to go along with the critical love.

Don’t do too much radio, unless we’re talking pandora.com, Sugar City Roc – a local online station from my island or my ipod during the workday.

Thanks for the love to begin the workweek!

Peace Bella!

I just heard this song yesterday,and I really like it.I do hear “American Boy” on the radio everyday in Maryland.92Q in Baltimore,and 95.5 in D.C are two of the best stations in my area.Estelle is talented,and I would pay for tickets to her concert knowing that i’ll get my monies worth.
