Estelle - Wonderful Life
Producer: Jerry “Wonda” Duplessis
Album: All of Me
Label: Home School/Atlantic
Unless you’re one of those lucky motherf*ckers with an inborn ability to see the silver lining around every cloud, looking on the bright side of life’s nasty surprises is something much easier said than done. Just ask Estelle, who offers listeners a window into her everyday struggle to stay positive on new single/video Wonderful Life. Coming on the heels of reader-approved buzz record International, this cut finds Jerry “Wonda” Duplessis and co-producuer Arden “Keyz” Altino layering strings, chimes and sprightly piano chords over a head-noddable rhythm section as the Atlantic signee describes a formidable series of frustrations and setbacks. Not only is she grappling with accusations of dishonesty from her man, but she (OK, the narrator of the song) just lost her job. Though her back is up against the wall, she doesn’t despair, instead taking refuge in life’s simple pleasures - in this case, a manicure at the end of a hard day. Feeling this musical slice of life? You can look forward to plenty more where this cut came from on Tuesday, Feb. 8, when Estelle’s All of Me (finally) hits record stores and online retailers.

Her "International" record was outside of her comfort zone, but this single brings her right back where she belongs (and that isn't to say that as a fan of her work I'd like her to be boxed in and pegged as only one type of artist).

This is the Estelle that I am talking about! She sounds great on this one, and such a chill vibe to it.

I was able to catch her last record with Consequence, that I recently added to the Coast 2 Coast Mixtape Volume 186. mixtape, and she never seeks to amaze me. I said it before, there are a million and one rappers out there, and one a million artist, and Estelle definitely takes up that stance. If there was a sequel to Brown Sugar, this would definitely make the film score. Great add on of the dj and the music. This video cries out "organic music"
Can you add another single from Estelle #porfavor |
