If I said that there’s nothing new under the sun, would you take that as a negative? I hope not because sometimes there’s nothing better than walking some familiar ground. UK sensation Estelle teams up with Rick Ross for a time capsule of recognizable sounds in her latest release Break My Heart. Estelle doesn’t belt the strength of a Lisa Fischer or a Stephanie Mills, but her style matches Don Cannon’s production perfectly, which itself draws on the flow of late ‘80s and early ‘90s R&B ballads, a perfect example of what our current generation would consider “old school” (does it remind anyone else of Champagne Life?). On the mic Ross once again captures the lush sounds of the “cocaine era” - this song would have fit perfectly on his debut album Port of Miami – and Estelle follows with easily smooth vocals. I think the more Estelle plays with her sonic influences, the more she’ll be able to create her own musical stamp on the game. Break My Heart will appear on Estelle’s upcoming album, All of Me, which is anticipated to drop sometime this year.

I don't think this is 1st single material, maybe just a nice cut in between others on the upcoming album. It's a nice groove but it's not what Estelle is capable of. Rozay is Rozay, nothing epic but not trash either.

This song is okay, but it would have been much better without Ross.

Every record Estelle ever does will always (unfortunately) be compared to "American Boy," and this simply isn't as good. With that said, on its on merit, its solid. Ross sounds perfect over this Cannon production and the songstress seems comfortable, which is something that I haven't heard from her in a while.

Sounds fairly average for Estelle who is capable of much more. Ross is on his usually guest ish.

Great beat and Estelle's soulful voice take over the track. If it weren't for Ross this track would be something really special. I feel like he was chosen just because of his marquee name. If it had given to an emcee with real talent, this would have been great.

Rick Ross is growing on me. Estelle is losing her spark that I originally love. Rotation worthy though.

Good combination, but on the down side Ross overshadowed Estelle.

This song will grow on many people. Most of the people that rated this a 3 will have wished they rated it a 4 in a month or two from now. As for me, I opened up to it quickly. I am just glad that Estelle has another good song besides American Boy, which I liked, but was annoyed with it because of how much my friends played it out.
