Estelle - The 18th Day
"Free" is a real call to the nation's youth to do something with their lives. As Estelle sees it, they have been given the freedom to make their own choices in life, and for that they should be grateful. The same encouragement is given in "Change is Coming": "From the age of 13 you got the choices, it's your life, don't let the past rule you, choose your own route." And in the gospel-inspired "Gonna Win" her self-belief wins through as she heeds the inner voice which tells her to keep pressing on with her music, despite what others say.
It's a strength which has also helped her through difficult relationships. "Crazy" and "Hey Girl" will appeal to anyone who has ever been driven mad in love. Which is most of us. These are revenge songs to rival Millie Jackson and show no mercy to those who have hurt her. "The song basically says, 'you've pissed me off and I have to write about it, because if I don't I'm gonna kill you'", she spits. And yet the toughness melts away and she becomes vulnerable again when she finds new love in lo-slung ballads such as "All Over Again" and "Maybe".
