Estelle chats to I Like Music
ILM: He is such a dude isn't he?
ESTELLE: Totally. The way he dresses and everything, it's undeniable. Fearless. Making great music and making a new path about it.
ILM: The album also includes production from Wyclef Jean, Mark Ronson, Will.I.Am, Cee-lo, Swizz Beatz and the man who signed her, John Legend. Kanye West also feature…
ESTELLE: Yeah Kanye is on the single for American Boy. That's another one that's gonna come out later.
ILM: Is there anything that you have learned from these people about making music?
ESTELLE: Hell yeah, I've learned that every record could be your last so make it your best. Cee-Lo gave me that. We sat in the studio. He was going through this real pensive moment like a real phase, things were happening, so we were sat in the studio watching James Brown clips and just seeing the generation evolving. Watching James Brown then watching Prince and then watching Michael Jackson. It was like, 'That's James Brown'. All these artists are James Brown.
