Estelle chats to I Like Music
The UK's finest, award-winning artist Estelle released her brand new single, Wait A Minute (Just A Touch) late last year. The wil.i.am produced track is her blazin' hot debut for the new Homeschool Records label. Set up by and owned by US soul sensation and global superstar John Legend, Estelle is the first artist to the label distributed via Atlantic Records. Now Estelle is back with the brilliant American Boy featuring Kanye West and, it's gone straight in at number one!
I Like Music caught up with Estelle five years after we last spoke to her, to talk about working with Will.I.Am, John Legend and Kanye West; getting tips from Cee-Lo and her music-making style.
I Like Music because.... it enables me to get my feelings out and it's borderline therapy for me. Music makes me feel." ESTELLE
ILM: We last spoke to you before the release of FREE and the 18th day, five years ago - how are you, fill us in with what you've been doing …
ESTELLE: The past five years I've been living, I've been growing up, I've been a real human being. I've just figured out a bunch of stuff about myself. As an artist, as a woman and as a human being, I've figured out a bunch of stuff and it's put me in a good standing with recording this album. Now I'm fearless about it. I know who I am, I know what I'm doing and I know where I need to take it, so it's like... do it, there's nothing to be scared of.
