President-elect Barack Obama (pictured at the airport on Saturday catching a flight to Hawaii for winter break) warned on Friday that economic recovery won’t be as fast as he completed his Cabinet, after naming the secretaries of transportation, labor, trade and small business policy.

ESTELLE PREPS NEW ALBUM
It seems as though after the success of her debut LP in the States, Estelle is eager to get started on her sophomore release. Although she’s had projects in the UK, Shine and her second single, “American Boy,” featuring Kanye West has garnered her huge success over in the U.S.
When asked about the new project, which is tentatively set to release sometime in the second quarter of 2009, Estelle said that she was looking to collaborate with fellow Brit Adele, and also had this to say:
“I’m really excited to start working on my next album. I’m going to go totally left field and surprise a lot of people… I’m going to hit it out the ball park with this one. I’m thinking a mix of Coldplay and Marvin Gaye.”
Interesting! Estelle, who is also a recent Grammy nominee, definitely seems pretty confident with this new album. I’m excited to hear what she comes up with.
