Estelle - The 18th DayEstelle Announces 2 UK November Dates
Multi Award winning singer/songwriter/producer/rapper Estelle, has announced that she will be returning to the UK to play 2 very special shows in London and Manchester.
She may be a born-and-raised West London girl, but most would venture that 28-year-old Estelle Swaray is right at home in the energy of New York, her newly adopted city. She's got the self-determination with a bit of swagger. The get-up-and-go hustle. This year has been an absolute whirlwind for Estelle. Since moving to NYC from London in May 2007 she spent the earlier part of 2008 gearing up for her re-entry into the musical landscape with Shine, her Mercury Award Shortlisted second album, from which she released the huge number 1 hit single 'American Boy'.
She was the first artist to release under John Legend's new Homeschool label, in partnership with Atlantic Records. It's her debut on a major label, and an American one at that, but with Homeschool's philosophy of artist control and good soul music, her affiliation with the label is at the essence of what she's all about.
Whereas her 2004 debut album, The 18th Day from V2 Records, was totally self-created, Shine marks the first time Estelle has brought other producers and artists into the creative process with her. Kanye West, Swizz Beatz, Wyclef Jean, Will.i.am, Mark Ronson and Cee-lo & Jack Splash all lend talents to the album, executive produced by John Legend.
