ILM: What's the Estelle process of making music and how has it changed since you started at 18?
Estelle: It depends on what the beat says, or what I'm thinking. If I'm writing without music it's just what things pop into my mind and it'll go on from there. If it's with music, it's whatever the music feels, but first usually comes melody, before I start rapping.
It depends on what kind of beat it is also and if it's a loop I'll just start rapping and then melody will come half way through the rap and it's like 'ok, need to get this down real quick right now. I have a phone and I have a Blackberry, so I record into my phone and type the lyrics into my Blackberry.
ILM: What qualities in people do you like and dislike?
Estelle: I like people who know who they are. I'm not naïve or stupid and I'm pretty loyal. At the end of the day I know I give my friends and my people around me 100%, and I'd say that back, if they're not giving back then I don't even want to be around them.
