Have you ever heard one of your friends say, “The grass is always greener on the other side”?  Obviously UK singer Estelle has, because on her second single her eyes are on an American Boy.  Of course any trip stateside wouldn’t be complete without a stop in Chicago, or more specifically the “West Side.”  Featuring none other than Kanye, the acclaimed MC boasts about his popularity in the UK and throws in some old-English terminology along the way.  While Estelle impresses with her vocals, Ye’s electric-guitar beat will have audiences on both sides of the pond enjoying American Boy.  Flight attendants prepare for takeoff; Estelle’s album Shine is set to leave the runway in February.

Wow, really enjoying this beat. Something fresh to start the week off. Kanye can really pull off the funk beat and Estelle is really good. I still feel that she doesn't really fit in the rnb genre; her voice is all 'jazz'.

I first heard this track last week and it has been growing on me ever since. Kanye West comes out strong with a catchy intro and Estelle's vocals bring out the best of West's happy production. I hope this gets some airplay in the U.S., the hook is hot and Kanye keeps it fresh!

KANYE WEST is THE MAN! What a fresh, feel good beat!! Can listen to this all day! Estelle voice is impeccable, melody is joyful and flow is pleasing from both. Kanye’s a great producer as well as an amazing rapper!!!

I thought I would hate this song when it first came on, and I was right! This is not my cup of tea, even though the beat is kind of hot. Put Estelle on the hook, and make it a Kanye feat. Twista track, and its a hit!!

This is very much sounding like a wanna-be amy winehouse. No one can do what she does quite like she does, but she tries here. I think this is more clever on the part of Kanye for the beat, but overall, I'm not really feeling this track and I wouldn't play it back again. It's not garbage, cuz I think kanye held it down on the beat, but the song all together just isn't my cup of tea...Amy would have done it way better...

Do you think if Kanye had nothing to do with this song, it would still be a potential hit?

Yo Z, I think if someone else had made this same beat, this song would still be a hit. Kanye just happens to be some of the rappers who would fit this beat (Lupe, Pharrel,JayZ…). Anyway, Estelle holds the song perfectly on her own, is more talented than the average female singer and I don’t see any reason for comparison with Amy Winehouse (DjBlaze you talking like you know Estelle, goin as far as assuming she tries to do it like Amy, that’s just speculation! And there’s not a song on Amy’s album that sounds like this.)

This has potential. I actually like what she is trying to do with her sound...I just wonder if people will feel over saturated by it.

aha I like how three people in a row wrote "not my cup of tea" how generic. But this is a good tune, very english on the production, he did a great job fitting it in with her accent. This is smart, but no offense, the english girls dont usually like american guys, theres lots of reasons, but I wont be the one to tell you and have you dislike me...lol. I give it a 4!
