Soulful singer Estelle is getting her reggae roots on with her new single “Love Like Ours” featuring fellow reggae crooner Tarrus Riley. Estelle also just completed a full length reggae album that will be dropping on VP Records this fall.
The melodic and captivating ‘Love Like Ours’ gives fans a first taste of the upcoming album that will showcase the pivotal influence reggae music has had on the London, England born singer. Raised in a religious, Senegalese/ Grenadian household, Estelle’s musical upbringing included a variety of Afro-Caribbean, Gospel, Hip-Hop and dance styles with a healthy dose of reggae music.
Since 2008 and the release of the crossover radio hit “Come Over” featuring reggae star Sean Paul and produced by Supa Dups (Sean Paul, Drake, Party Next Door), fans have been encouraging Estelle to record a reggae album. This project will bring their desires to life with a unique fusion of lover’s rock, afro beats and dancehall flavors anchoring her soulful, R&B vocals.
Speaking of the new project, the “American Boy” singer 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.”
