Estelle embraces new sound for forthcoming album

NEW MUSIC: Estelle

VP RECORDS has announced the completion of a new album deal with Grammy- winning R&B artist Estelle.

The UK singer will be branching out of R&B this time around and is scheduled to release a full length reggae album this fall, with the first single, Love Like Ours featuring reggae star Tarrus Riley, and will be available from June 16 with a music video to follow.

The melodic and captivating Love Like Ours gives fans a first taste of the upcoming album that will showcase the pivotal influence reggae music has had on the 1980 singer.


UPCOMING SINGLE: Love Like Ours, featuring Tarrus Riley

Since 2008 and the release of the crossover radio hit Come Over featuring reggae star Sean Paul and produced by Supa Dups (Sean Paul, Drake, Party Next Door), fans have been encouraging Estelle to record a reggae album. This project will bring their desires to life with a unique fusion of lover’s rock, afro beats and dancehall flavours anchoring her soulful, R&B vocals.

"When I told some friends about doing this album,"they were like - 'finally!'" she said.

"Everyone who knows me, understands the deep connection I have to reggae music."

Estelle has joined forces with Supa Dups again on this project and her fans excitement for the full album is brewing.

Love Like Ours draws you in with smooth guitar and keyboard hooks and keeps the listener engaged with upbeat, feel good lyrics.

"The song is shaping up to be the lover's anthem of the summer", said VP records President Randy Chin.
