Estelle - 1980
Tales of boiling water on the stove to wash, getting her first pair of Nike's while living off porridge, and huddling under the covers when there was no heat in the house, are told without a hint of sentimentality. "They say that everything you go through in life is what you become. If that's the case I'm becoming number one", declares the ambitious b-girl. And why not?
Coming from an extended family of nine kids and various relations all under the same roof, she had to learn how to make herself heard. And this summer you won't be able to ignore her.
B-side "Don't Talk", featuring Baby Blue, is a tough, straight-talking track from a woman who knows what she wants.
"I like it better when your lips are closed
Stay focused, be sure you're not missing the show
Don't tell me what's on your mind
I ain't interested unless it is along the lines
Of feeling the smell of my Gucci Rush
The best thing you can do is hush."
Both CD and vinyl releases come with revocalled versions of "Don't Talk" featuring UK rappers Kardinal and Skeme.

Ellen, Los Campesinos: ilikemusic because... It’s the best form of escapism that you can have wherever you are. You could be completely miserable or waiting for a bus and put on any song that inspires you and you can escape into a little world, well that’s what I tend to do anyway.
O'Bailey: ilikemusic because... I can live vicariously through a song, whether it's a screaming angry rock anthem or a silly kids song ("I'm a little yellow fish" anyone?) haha!
Omid16B: ilikemusic because... It makes me feel whole and makes me feel like I have my feet on the ground. It makes me feel love again and reminds me of what we are. It allows me to express myself.
Hard-Fi: ilikemusic because... what else is there to like?!
Oliver, Young Knives: ilikemusic because... It evokes a mood and a feeling of when you last heard the track.
Remi Nicole: ilikemusic because... It is the best way of making you feel any emotion.
Scott, Thin Lizzy: ilikemusic because... It lets my adrenalin start pumping, it gets aggression out, and sometimes I can actually get emotional with it. There are many reasons why I like music.
Craig David: ilikemusic because... It’s all me
Mutya Buena: ilikemusic because... It’s something I’ve grown up listening to, I enjoy singing I don’t think I know what I’d do without music to tell you the truth. It helps me out in so many ways.
