Atlantic Records/Homeschool artist Estelle will release, âNo Substitute Loveâ on June 30th from her Top 10 album Shine.Â
This single follows the success of the wil.i.am produced, âAmerican Boyâ (featuring kanYe west), which spent 5 weeks at number 1, entering the UK singles chart on just digital downloads alone. Estelle also headlines a string of dates in June, playing Manchester, Glasgow, Birmingham and London.Â
Produced by Wyclef Jean, âNo Substitute Loveâ contains elements from the lovers rock classic Substitute Lover by Jamaican artist Half Pint and George Michaelâs hit âFaithâ.Â
It is already enjoying strong radio support and added to the playlists of Galaxy network, Choice, 1Xtra, Capital and Kiss FM. The commercial CD features a Wideboys house remix and a bassline mix by Witty Boy.
Estelleâs new album Shine includes contributions from an array of superstars including, Mark Ronson, Wyclef Jean, wil.i.am, Gnarls Barkleyâs Cee-Lo, kanYe west and John Legend.Â
However, despite the star studded guest roster, it is Estelle who shines brightest throughout the collection.Â
Her idiosyncratic vocals sensual, swaggering and always special - unite the albumâs diverse spectrum of sonic styles spanning funk, reggae, soul, R&B and anything else that takes the West Londonerâs fancy.
The album has received widespread acclaim in the UK and debuted in the US inside the Top 40. Estelle is nominated for a BET award for Best Newcomer - going head to head with label mate Flo Rida at the event which takes place in the US next month.
