Came today, on first listen I love it :wub:
I really like No Substitute Love but there's something really familiar about the verses...the melody is like some 80s song that I can't just put my finger on.

It reminds me of Black Eyed Peas - Don't Lie :lol:

Yeah, she's sampled a (or part of a) song on "No Substitute Love".

i listened to this album and my thought - 8/10 ^_^

not bad but it's far from Duffy's "Rockferry" imo.

Doesn't it sound like George Michael's Faith? "I know not everybody has a body like you"?? :unsure:

THAT'S IT!!! It's been bugging me since I got it. I still really like the song though, it's so breezy and summery.

US label Atlantic Records wants Estelle to have surgery on her teeth to help her break into the American charts, say reports.

 

Her bosses also want her to ditch the boyish haircut she has in her 'American Boy' video and would like to give her image a complete overhaul, according to The Sun.

 

"The American executives are adamant she makes a lot of significant changes," said a source. "They want rid of her tomboy hair and want her to get her teeth fixed.

 

"Estelle is not happy. She feels her teeth and the rest of her look are a big part of her character."

 

The R&B star has spent the last three weeks at number one on the UK singles chart.

 

:o

That dosn't come as a surprise. :( ^

Just bought some tickets for the tour :D

I don't think she should have to change for America. It's a strange coincidence that I was listening to India.Arie "I Am Not My Hair" as I read that, as she says "I am not my hair, I'm not this skin. I am the soul that lives within.". Unfortunately it doesn't look like these lyrics mean anything to them and appearances are everything.

 

I doubt Estelle is the sort of person to go "Ok, I'll change my hair and my teeth to have a chance in the USA" but she could.

No Substitute Love is absolutely, bloody amazing! I can't get enough of it. Another #1 guaranteed.

The album is a slow burner. At first, it just passes you by. But, after a few listens it's really good - I'd recommend it to anyone.

Unsure how it'll fair stateside though...

Not a bad drop, -60% is the norm :D

I still find it a very average album and im not really impressed with it that much
