Estelle is a beautiful talented black British woman. How many dark skin British women can you name? She opened doors for lots of people in the uk. She takes risks with her music she sings and raps. She is a trailblazer. Put some respect on her name!
I can literally name hundreds, we ontop of the game for black female rappers and R&B artists right now. I can name you more talented black female UK artists than American ones. Mahalia, Lil Simz, Ray BLK, Ella Mai, Jorja Smith, Arlo Parks just to name six.
@@PoorlyWrttenReviews well most of those girls are biracial except from little simz and ray blk which don’t have the same fame or notoriety as jorja. But she’s lucky cause of her friendship with skepta then she got close to drake she would of still been unknown. Ella mai is lucky cause of Dj mustard. The biracial girls are winning cause of colorism they aren’t even as talented as their dark skin singers or even have the same sauce/flavour. But that’s my opinion
These guys really need to do their research. They have absolutely no clue about the influence of dancehall and reggae music from Jamaica. Dancehall influence: American hip-hop, Latin reggaeton, British grime African Afrobeats, and European tropical pop. Jamaican Dub music influences EDM: drum and bass, jungle, ambient and dubstep. Jamaican Ska influences skinhead punk: two tone Ska, third wave Ska. Jamaicans are also the first people to remix its music. So whoever is doing popular music today, is greatly influenced from Jamaican music one way or another.
Afrobeat begun in [Ghana] in the early 1920s. During that time, Ghanaian musicians incorporated foreign influences like the foxtrot and calypso with Ghanaian rhythms like osibisaba (Fante). Highlife was associated with the local African aristocracy during the colonial period, and was played by numerous bands including the Jazz Kings, Cape Coast Sugar Babies, and Accra Orchestra along the county's coast.[Nigeria] later joined the Afrobeat wave in the late 60s by Fela Kuti .I agree afrobeat artist may use some patwa slang but all rhythms is from Africa that the slave brought to the West Indies!!
azitsallgood I had already had a long discussion with Nigerians and Ghanaians over what is Afrobeat? Fela Kuti's drummer, Tony Allen was influenced by Jamaican dub and he incorporated it into Afrobeat, that is the Jamaican influence right there.
No, she's just not very good. She can't sing she has a weak voice, she can't rap either, she's not particularly good looking either. She's a novelty for Americans and she has good networking skills, a good work ethic, she can write and knows how to market herself.
X Campbell cover artist? Are you disagreeing that he isn’t a great artist? or because he has sung covers he is less of an artist? Just want some clarity
@@afrothundaCLAP Sanchez is mainly known for doing covers as I said and is not considered a lovers rock artist. Lovers Rock is not just about singing love songs it has a different tempo than reggae or dancehall songs.
X Campbell I am aware of this I always describe it to people that only know matisyaho, bob Marley and Sean Paul that people like beres Hammond and Gregory Isaac are like R&B singers. Even if Sanchez does mostly covers are you not a fan?
Ebro is totally confused. Lovers rock is an little known Jamaican genre. It's basically love songs with reggae music which was extremely popular in the 80s in England with people like Janet Kay, Deborah Glasgow, and Cynthia schloss to name a few. These artist sing exclusively reggae love songs only.
The connection between the Caribbean and Africa is beautiful. Great to see dem doing music together. Finally we're not fighting as much as we used to and now working together for better.
I remember her around 96 97 she was a little hood girl dressed like a road man standing outside the hip hop clubs in London...... Nice to see how fare she has gone, that's a true Black Londoner right there.
No one mentioned Soul II Soul!!! They were like Loose Ends continuation and they kicked a lot of music out of the UK.The UK is a beast.Im an old head and I remembered the 80’s when the UK was all Soul music.They are killing it now and I’m sooo happy for them.AMERICANS do that renaming things and categorizing.They do it all the time,America doesn’t have respect for others culture.They want everything to be conformed and Americanized.
Tell dem ESTELLE what we need to sue them for slandering our music Soca Dancehall Reggae R&B HipHop Blues look unnu fi stop disrespect our music show respect to Black Culture
Facts on Facts. You NEED that ilk. I didn't want to sing, but I can sing. There are alot of artists that I would sing with and Estelle is one of them for sure. She's cute and funny, no lgbtq. BUT YOU DEFINITELY NEED TO KNOW HOW TO WRITE, SING, DANCE, DRESSING AND HAVE STAGE PRESENCE. That is a beautiful love-story for true. Love the outfits, another passion of mine. I would definitely sing with and dress her. Love this, can we have more of her please. Peace
@P if mj wasnt born music would be totally different than it is today and sam Smith either wouldnt exist as a singer. Or would be singing in an entirely different style. Ppl that he looks up to... looked up to mj. So if he wasnt around to inspire them... they cant inspire him Lyrical? He didnt write most of the songs. Even when he did it was never solo. How much more lyrical can u get for pop or rnb than stevie wonder? ABBA. R Kelly.... the greatest song writers wrote for him. Keyboardist from toto wrote human nature. For pop and rnb.. man in the mirror is very lyrical ..as is the girl is mine... beat it had a message... no mj song was about anything remotely frivolous. We cant call the legends I named "non lyrical" Not liking mj is one thing. But when u participate in the same genres as him and make a comment like that? That's when you are gonna get criticized
Ok, I'm gonna have to refine my question. Since Estelle got big in America, has she ever had a British artist feature on any of her music? Back in the day she came up with a slew of British rappers, a Nottingham crew, London rappers but since she chipped to America, all we've seen is the dust of her tracks
Yall never migrated to another place and had your accent(s) blend? I have. I got NY and GA w/ AAVE so no one really knows where I'm from. 😂 Anyway leave Estelle and her accent alone
Just saying... Sam Smith is always ripping off other artists. He ripped off fellow LGBTQ member Jonathan Allen with his song "Pray." Check out Jonathan Allen "Amen" released in 2016 then listen to "Pray" from Sam Smith. Again... I'm just saying... Get that unoriginal artist out of here.
These radio announcers ...if that's what I can call them THAT! Embarrassing! Do yuh damn blasted research! Estelle respect from Trinidad & Tobago. #Boomshakatak lol
NOT TO TAKE AWAY FRM WHAT ESTELLE IS SAYING BCUZ SHE IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT ABOUT MACHELLE ,BUNJI AND FAYANN BUT IS NO ONE GOING TO MENTION THE FACT THAT ALISON HINDS🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧 THE SOCA QUEEN OF THE CARIBBEAN IF NOT THE WORLD IS CONSTANTLY BEING OVER LOOKED ON AN INTERNATIONAL LEVEL 😔
Estelle's London accent is clinging on for dear life. It's still there though somewhere
k yes I agree she’s been away from london for years and it has decreased but i still hear it
literally still has it🤣
😞😞😞😞😞
It’s literally fully there

Facts
How do you gather they have no clue???
Not even 3min into it and I see such a REAL comment......................

The hate is real
Estelle is hella dope!! Should be in the mainstream more!!!

Estelle is so gorgeous and so grounded. Can't wait to hear her new sounds!
Great to see you again Estelle. Can't wait to hear the music.

Eva Jaye hey I know that 😊 I think I was alluding to the genre lovers rock, I hear you though 🙏🏾
Sade is not lovers rock, look it up

She is so cool
Caribbean is culture not colour
Garnet is even hot in real life.
Ever it was thus young Estelle Fanta Swaray
"Smith Smiths" in the description
Ban Sam Smith from the solar system. England should revoke his citizenship. SMH at BET giving him an award
For saying he doesn't like michael jackson? hardly a crime lol
in music ....ESPECIALLY R&B... 100%. federal crime. treason. he could be a terrorist. would not be surprised if the russians colluded with him
@P if mj wasnt born music would be totally different than it is today and sam Smith either wouldnt exist as a singer. Or would be singing in an entirely different style. Ppl that he looks up to... looked up to mj. So if he wasnt around to inspire them... they cant inspire him
Lyrical? He didnt write most of the songs. Even when he did it was never solo. How much more lyrical can u get for pop or rnb than stevie wonder? ABBA. R Kelly.... the greatest song writers wrote for him. Keyboardist from toto wrote human nature.

Why do y’all keep asking black celebs about Kanye what do you think they’re gonna say?
Garnet I luv u
Has Estelle ever done a tune with a British Rapper or Grime Artist?
yes
Blak Twang back in the day
Ok, I'm gonna have to refine my question. Since Estelle got big in America, has she ever had a British artist feature on any of her music?
Back in the day she came up with a slew of British rappers, a Nottingham crew, London rappers but since she chipped to America, all we've seen is the dust of her tracks
True, she went U.S and never looked back.. shame. I think I heard her address it in a interview a few years back but can't remember her excuse.
lol that beginning
yoo the woman who host the grapevine and estelle must be twins
Ñice interview
Rupee is half white, half black
these guys just like to talk without knowledge.
