this is so hot!

diffrent, thats all i have to say

second? I guess?

She reminds me of a new generation L boogie….Shes tight.

not pretty….but shes tight.

I know I have heard this beat b4… where is it from??

My friend used to sing back up for her but she got her fired because her voice overpowered Estelle’s. Lol.

Definitely agree with Big Deal, I was like Yay! Lauren Hill reincarnated, now we can hear what we might have heard had L Boogie not gone crazy!!!

It’s ok and definately different. This song has a nice beat. It has a way of growing on you.

I really like this. Im glad Kanye is back in the studio:-)

For those that slept on Will.I.Am’s jawn. This beat is used on his album. This is dope, Will’s song is fresher.

The beat is from will.i.am’s latest album entitled songs about girls and the tracks name is impatient, and if you ask me it’s way better than estelles attempt even though it was a descent song.

Oh wow. How refreshing! I love it, I love it, I love it. I’ll definitely buy this album when it comes out.

I’d really like to hear more music like this on the radio. Thank god for XM Radio!

reminds me of house music (trust me - im from chicago - i know)
she kinda has a janelle monae vibe too

i like it.

#12: When I heard it, I automatically thought Janelle Monae, too. I’m really feelin’ this.

I can’t wait to listen. She’s cool and anything Kanyeezy touches is hot so I’ve got high expectations.

boring

It’s very unique, but it’s good to have a little change… i like that song that she has out now called, “Wait A Minute”… Do ya thang Kanye.

Looking forward to her album.

“Tell em wagwaan blood….”
I’m lovin this track …love how she called it American boy but still kept some UK-ness in there.

Love itt..

I love it! =)

i really like the track. but there’s no way i could compare her to Lauryn…i just dont here it. It’s time for something different in the industry, she’s a breath of fresh air.

She’s nothing like Lauryn Hill…please stop comparing!!

LOVE IT! Nice summer feel to it. Good luck Estelle!

I wouldn’t compare her to Lauren Hill….more like Janelle Monae…

This song has that John Legend feel to it…Like Im supposed to be running around in Paris with my man and a video camera recording goofy things people do when they are in love..LOL

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

It will be funny if people love this song cuz the beat is from an album that most people hated on, “songs about girls” will.i.am solo debut. Errone needs to go over that album again cuz it was dope.

Her music is hot! She has a really good stage presence as well. I can’t wait for her album!

Loves it…

listen to her first single, wait a minute (just a touch). Her aura is very similar to the L boogie and Janae (I concur)

This music is from will.I.am’s album. Is Ye bitin or is this a remix os “Impatient”?

WHO THE HELL IS SHE?

Feeling it!

Why are people saying she reminds them of Lauryn Hill??? That girl don’t look or sound like her.

We all should know by now that Will.i.am is a business man. He sell beats and produce beats. So I am sure she paid for using the track, furthermore Will.i.am gives beats to artist he feels can do something positive with it. I think Estelle accomplished that. I love the song, it’s fresh and it’s different! Kanye also adds a nice feel to the track. John Legend picked a great artist to represent his eclectic style of music!

eh.

This song is soooo hot. Plus I support anything with my boy Kanye on it.

it’s kinda cute. i prefer “wait a minute”

@nkrumah he set himself up for failure when he released “i got it from my mama”. that song was one of the worst songs that i’ve heard in a while. no originality, just girls shaking their asses. i thought the concept was disgusting. i had more hope in him

@#17- I agree!

I love ‘Wait a minute’, thats my jam

After hearing Kanye’s verse, I kinda wish it was just HIS song…

I knew this was a Will.i.am track when I first heard it..lol..I wasn’t feeling Estelle at first but when I saw an interview she did I loved her instantly she has a very funny sense of humor..lol..this song is better than the last one..so maybe I will check her out

@ 29

I agree “Songs About Girls” was a dope album it’s just “I got it from my momma” was just trash..but “She’s a Star”, “Fly Girl” , and “Heartbreaker” are my joints..from will..lol..but there are many more..Will is the truth don’t sleep on the brotha!

I wouldn’t compare her to Lauren Hill but I do like her. Everytime I see the “Wait a Minute (Just a touch)” video on VH1 Soul I jam lol.

this is hotttttt

More uk artists need to come over to the states with their sh*t
alot of london based artists have great stuff but dont bother crossing over here

unique

shes great!

I’m diggin’ this tune! This takes me back to life in London. Nice sound. Holla at your bred’ren

Kanye’s verse is hott… but the rest of the song is rubbish in my opinion…

That is hot!!! Now that is good music.

wow this is nice! i didn’t like her first single but this is definitely the the business..she reminds me of Kelis (not the milkshake version the re-imagined version)

I absolutely LOVE her music!! It’s new and refreshing!! I love hearing something ‘different’ and not that same cookie-cutter mess!!! I always thought those from ‘across the pond’ have/had some of the best voices. Btw, I know I’ve heard this beat somewhere before too!

I love this track. Her voice is so refreshing

I love this track & I’ve only played it twice! Estelle is definetely someone I’ve liked since she came out in the UK a few years ago, her sound is definetely different and I’m glad she’s trying to break the US

I see no similarities with her and Lauryn Hill though, I guess everything considered “different” and a “breath of fresh air” is related to Lauryn? Whatevs. Ms. Hill just needs to go into rehab & sort her shit out. I miss the old Lauryn!

Anyway I’m babbling. I’m just glad she’s repping the UK! “Tell ‘em wagwun blud” LOL…you know!

“I always thought those from ‘across the pond’ have/had some of the best voices.”

We do! ♥

reminds me of 80s music….very funky and retro…she is bringing the fire…..people from london are loving her boi !!!!!!!!!!!

love it
estelle is one of the most talented artists in the music industry, shes a great rapper and singer so guess thats why everyones comparing her to L boogie.

personally i think l boogie is in a league of her own, shes incredible artistically
but estelle is extremely talented and i love how the song has an american vibe but she still throws in the london slang.

this song does hav a bit of a janelle sound to it, but both artists are great so i dont thnk we need to compare them

estelle is nothing like lauryn but i think lauryn is overrated anyway

Love it!! She makes me wants some more ‘Ame-ri-can Boys’!! I like her voice style, the fact that she raps and sings and especially how she is holding it down for the chocolate sistas! hold it!

I like it Estelle does have a nice voice. I was just reading about her in Rolling Stone magazine.

Eh, it was alright. Her voice is weak. She needs some singing lessons.
I like the song, just not her singing it.

Eh. It was alright. She needs some voice lessons to strengthen her voice and correct her going flat.
I like the song, just not her singing it.

The only similarity between Lauryn and Estelle is that they both sing and rap. This is a pretty solid song and I like the “just a touch” song. Very interested in hearing more.

I have to agree that Will I Am’s Impatient is better. Estelle’s lyrics are great but another beat would have been better. Kanye is amazing as usual always reppin Chicago!!!! House Music All Night Long

this song is clever and hot, hot, hot!!! i will be picking up her album when it comes out!

Hi, I just wanna come on the mic to say let’s not compare Janelle Monae to Estelle. Each have their own musical style. I personally prefer Ms. Jane over Estelle’s, just a tad. Don’t get me wrong, Estelle’s vibe is uber cool, and I’m definitely appreciating the “outside of the box” approach sans the light skin and lace-front wigs. We need more newcomers to get more creative and not limit themselves. However, I think that Janelle’s voice is purer, smoother, and definitely more classic.

With that being said, I’m looking forward to more of Estelle’s stuff.

okay
Im liking this
really liking this

i think i might have to pick up this LP when it
comes out, and thats rare especially after hearing only
one song…

I’m with the other people above, I preferred Will.i.am’s song. I like new artists but I’m not sure if I’m digging her.

love it..i like this way better than her first single…kanye is hot as alwayz

Her voice isn’t all that great in my opinion, but I think people will like her. The song is different, got a good vibe to it. She couldn’t go wrong throwing Kanye on the track.

WOW! I love it already, only 40 seconds in. Now THAT’S rare. Her voice is sooo soothing. Just lovely.

@ #4 —> The Beat is from Bill Withers- Lovely Day….

Chea.

*************THIS SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING THAT IS PLAYED IN OLD NAVY*************

great song

go estelle, big up da U.K, we need it!

Estelle is the real deal

i’ve heard her whole album and it is sooooooooooooooooooooo good

she’s bringing her own unique swagger and she will go far

UK stand up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The sound is more house than anything. I like it though.

However, why does she sound like Janelle Monae? If nobody told you it was Estelle, you would certainly think it was Purple Ribbon’s Janelle.

@ #12….my post is similar to yours. Sorry for not reading the comments before I posted.

Ha!!!!!!!! That was classy as sh$t!

She’s ok…definetly no Lauryn Hill. Nobody can touch “back in the day” L boogie.
I dont see her making big waves although she is unique and talented. She doesnt have a marketable look and unfortunately thats a huge part of you being a sucessful artist. She got talent though…

Oh yeah… Love Kanye on the track! He got that midas touch… he makes everything FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the song, she’s got a nice sound.

I love the sound.

Song is cute and different. I would never compare her to Lauren Amy Weinhouse stole Laurens act. dam Estelle is has U S A potential, we all know it is difficutl for UK r& B to make it here but besides that Bailey rea chick she has a good shot especially with Kanye on board. Her other song that she had a video for was just a touch sounded too popy commercial like. It sounded like a jingle for a deorderant commercial. LOL! But this song is fun and cool kind of a house music Soho feel. Its a good look. She could possibly be compared to Kelis! But Kelis has way more sex appeal- but I look forward to seeing more from estelle.

I AM REALLY FEELIN’ THIS JOINT RIGHT HERE! HOTTNESS!

sorry to say it but, what’s “new” or “different” about this estelle stuff? not to say that it’s not great or I don’t like it, but this sounds like disco or french house. is what makes this new and different the fact that a lot of other black artists are content with just playing into what other people expect to hear and whats popular right now (E.I. getting drunk in the club, snappin fingers, and doin steps)? sad but true, but i’m glad to see theres more hip black artists comin on the horizon.

OOOH i loooove it. That’s a hit.

I liked the song very catchy… Kanye sounds HOT as usual!!

good on estelle do ure thing girl she can rap n sing which is truely brilliant she is representin da uk dis tune will b a seroius summer jam really catchy ppl will b wantin 2 sex 2 dis tune

FINALLY Estelle getting her shine. She’s reppin it big for us in the UK. WOW time has passed man-I still remeber when ESTELLE and AMY WHINEHOUSE used to get pulled up on stage to sing in a London club over here. SO VERY, VERY PROUD OF U ESTELLE! U DID IT!

She has a nice sounding voice. The track really is a house record.

wtf SHES NOT LIKE LAUREN HILL AT ALL!

but i really do like this song alot!

wtf..SHE IS NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT SIMILAR TO LAUREN HILL AT ALL!

but i really do like this song alot!

SHES NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT SIMILAR TO LAUREN HILL! (dont try her like that!)

but i do loke this song alot!

OHHHH!! I’m really LOVIN this song here!!! yes ma’am, its soo…happy, skating-ringish. luv the beat! imma have to hit her up on myspace look further into her music.

This cant be her first single or even her song unless will i am produced it because this is the same exact song from his album “Songs about girls” Its number 7 called Impatient check it out………..

this is HOT!!! i love the will.i.am impatient sample! kanye definitely makes this hot! work it estelle

mmmh! I think this is definatly a very good attempt from Estelle. I hope the success doesn’t go to her head as it did when she got a hit in the UK! A stink attitude suits no one!

Love it. Love her.

Erm…. this is NOT her first album, shes been out since 2001. Yanks need to get “Home Schooled” on UK music.

LDN STAND UP!

The beat is from Will I Am’s new album, I think the tracks called “I cant wait”.

LMAO @ #95..so true…2008 is Europes anyway hands down…

[...] Also there was Kanye West (who is featured on the track) and John Legend. Listen to the hot single here or at Estelle’s [...]

like it. def like kanye’s verse. like the beat. its a good sound

yo Ye.. that’s MAD NUTZ.. [yall know what i mean]

Estelle is “ok”.. im not totally impressed by her skillz.. the production on “Just A Touch” was unique so it stood out.. this is retro on the production side.. Ye.. could do better, she sounds whiny.. and im sure Ye got his nutz off taking her to “NY” like she obviously wanted.. Does having top selling Ye on this make it any better.. NO.

I would rather listen to Yummy Bingham! btw what happened to her?

Unique it’s very retro and entertaining I likes

She does indeed have a bit of Lauryn Hill to her vibe. You have to listen to her other songs that are playing overseas. The girl is going to be it this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This song is a WIll-I-am beat. It was on his last album. WIll is producing made tracks. That’s where the real money is.

can’t help hearing will.i.am’s “i can’t wait”. this song uses the same sample but c’est la vie… i love it… it’s different… her style is impeccable and she’s very cute… ciao*

Cute song, and Kanye rocks his part!!

Estelle is talented. She puts in a lot of work in to her music so hopefully you guys in the states will feel what she is doing as her first single didn’t do well in the UK. She’s always had the comparison with L Boogie, simply because she raps and sings. Many people that watched her rise in the UK will tell you she’s a rapper first and that her singing voice is OK, but not great and that she needs vocal training so hopefully she’ll get that. As for her looks, I guess everyone has their opinions, but many have said the sexy look the label is trying to put out for her won’t work as she is more of a tom boy.

Regardless, let the music speak for itself and hopefully she will get the success and support from her fans.

Oh @93 Melolly that mentioned the success going to her head, I know a few people that worked with her in London and many of them would say that she did change, got a bit rude to some people that helped in her career when she was coming up. So in light of that, if it does go wrong for Estelle then I hope she doesn’t try to ‘beg friend’ all over again.

All in all, good luck to her

[...] have to admit I slept on this joint at first, I first peeped it on Concrete Loop in early January (which was at the height of my summer school stress ha), it wasn’t until [...]

I think she most definately sounds like L Boogie….if you hear the song Come Over ft. John Legend those who say no will change their minds. Woke me up out my sleep when I heard her singing because I thought it was Lauren. Go to utube and put in Estelle come over ft. John Legend and I am sure you will agree. Can’t wait for the album either because I can’t find the song to buy…nor download (legally…LOL).

That is a great song

You guys are retarded. This song is the most recycled piece of shit ever. How many times was it sampled? Do you even know what the original song was?? Just keep supporting unoriginal music, pretty soon nothing will be new. Oh wait, we’re already there.. GO KANYE!
