ESTELLE – Wait A Minute (Just A Touch)
The UK’s multiple award-winning artist Estelle is back with ‘Shine’ – her new album, set for release in February 2008. She is the first artist signed by John Legend, to his new ‘Homeschool Records’ label. The singer/rapper/producer is highly respected and loved across the pond and it’s about time she gets some shine in the U.S. Estelle’s new album features collaborations with Wyclef Jean, will.i.am (he produced “Wait A Minute”), Swizz Beats, Mark Ronson and Kanye West, as well as a stand out duet with John Legend.
John Legend & Estelle
“I have known John for a while now…We worked on my first album ’18th Day’ before he was signed. He featured on ‘Hey Girl’, played piano on ‘Free’, and appeared in the video. As I went to do my second album I asked him to help exec-produce it. As I progressed with it, I left my label and he said he’d sign me… and here we are today! We always make great songs together. While I like and listen to a lot of musicians – there aren’t many that I respect on a level to help me write songs or upgrade/push me as an artist… but John is one of them.”
John Legend continues: “I’m thrilled to be a part of Estelle’s career. This album is truly an accomplishment. She will be one of the most of exciting breakthrough talents of 2008. Mark my words.”
This song has been on heavy rotation since I got it last week. I Love it! For more info on Estelle, make sure you check out her myspace page.
Wow Chante
You just gave me some education on the Save Room video.
All this time I thought that was Heather Headley at the end of the video.
Thanks
shes hot!
im adding HER on my MYSPACE
:]
I’m not mad at it… would like to hear more to make a final decision… on hot or not…
Well done Estelle. Good tune. Representing the UK in a fine way. She doesn’t sound like Floetry at all. Once you have all heard more British artists you will begin to notice the difference. Respect is due Estelle.

I LOVE Estelle, finally she is breaking out into the North American scene. I really like this song! Please try to get the link for this song in the next New Music Review. I hope John Legend makes her blows her up.
She sounds like the two women in Floetry (Natalie and Marsha) all wrapped into one….I’m diggin how she’s equally talented at rappin’ and singing kinda like my girl Lauryn Hill…and as said before if John Legend backs her then she’s worth checkin for. But yea, with Floetry, Amy Winehouse and Joss Stone all coming out of the UK and being immensely talented I’m impressed. I dont know what they be cooking up out there but everybody seems to be right on point.
I’M SO HAPPY THAT ESTELLE IS COMING BACK!!!! HOPEFULLY TO THE U.S. NOW! I think that her partnership with John Legend, will.i.am, Kanye, and other famous American and International artists will help to insure her much success. I love her voice and her ability to not only sing, but to rap as well. As for the video: It was great, interesting, innovative, and fresh. Showed her personality. The song could’ve been a little more exciting, but I think it may be catchy enough to be a hit. I can’t wait for to get this song for my iPod and for the cd to come out!!!

Well im a U.K singer And i think dat its finally time dat us as black females finally get to show are real talent in America. we get overlooked all the time because they feel that are race wont sell.. But were da original soul singers and R&B singers. Not Joss Stone or Amy Wine house. Dont get me i love me some Amy but we really need to show you guys are talent man. We have to work extra hard to get were we want and Estelle in one of us tryna make it big. And shes doin it so im happy for her. She deserves to be huge
Tune is siiick! Glad to see her breaking the US….Let em see we have talent…unlike Lady Sovereign who’s crap as all hell!!!! I know many are mentioning it, but ‘Free’ and ’1980′ are big tunes!
Keep repping for the UK Estelle! She’s gonna blow the US!
