New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Estelle has delivered plenty of memorable R&B songs including "Thank You," " Conqueror" and of course, "American Boy." Now the British singer will dive into a new genre with her next musical project.
On Monday (June 5), Estelle released a sumptuous reggae jam called "Love Like Ours" featuring Tarrus Riley. The Supa Dups-produced song will appear on Estelle's new reggae album through historic label VP Records. The song is melodic and captivating, giving fans an exciting first taste of what to expect on the album. Reggae music had a pivotal influence on the London bred singer, who was raised in a religious, Senegalese/Grenadian household. Her musical upbringing included a variety of Afro-Caribbean, Gospel, Hip-Hop and dance styles with a healthy dose of reggae music.
This project is said to feature a "unique fusion of lover's rock, afro-beats and dancehall flavors anchoring her soulful, R&B vocals." Speaking about creating the album and gauging her friends interest, Estelle said: "When I told some friends about doing this album, they were like 'finally!' Everyone who knows me, understands the deep connection I have to reggae music."
"Love Like Ours" draws you in with smooth guitar and keyboard hooks and keeps the listener engaged with upbeat, feel good lyrics. The song is shaping up to be the lover's anthem of the summer," said VP records President Randy Chin.
