Credible Brit b-girl’s urban pop debut.

Bona fide underground b-girl, Estelle, has been firing up British hip-hop and bashment nights for the past five years, and is rightly the UK’s most respected female rapper. With this upbeat debut she rhymes about her life thus far – living on porridge, bogling, arson, debt, slow massages, poverty and prayer – over great pop hooks, party beats, slow jams and crisp production. There’s no bullshit with Estelle, she’s the anti-bling, and let’s hope she tears the charts apart.


Stuart Turnbull 15 October 04 rating of 3 and 1/2
Estelle – The 18th Day, released 18 October 04 on V2.
