Album of the Week.


My choice for this week's album is by Estelle and is called Shine. I'm not that big of an R&B fan but after hearing American Boy when it first came out, I knew I had to at least give this album a chance. After looking at some of the other guest appearences on the album (such as Kardinal Offishal, John Legend and Cee-Lo of Gnarles Barkely) and giving the album a listen, I realized just how good this was. Its certainly not a club-banging album (other then American Boy) but there are very few R&B albums that are. Its basically just a good mix of Reggae, Soul, R&B and a hint of hip-hop added to the mix for good measure. Worth the listen!

P.S. she does production as well as songwriting, impressive.
