Concert Review: Estelle

Many have called Estelle the U.K's Lauryn Hill she has said herself its probably because they're dark-skinned and they both sing and rap. For me though thats where the similarities end. Estelle has had an immensely successful year with the release of her sophomore gold album 'Shine' which was nominated for the mercury music prize her number 1 smash single american boy and was recently named the worlds best new rnb act at the World Music Awards, she tops it all off with a tour of the u.k. Estelle bounded onto the stage after a very impressive set from support act Laura Izzibor (shes one to look out for in 2009) to screams from the audience who were jam-packed ,beleive me, into manchester academy 2 inside the student union. She kicked off the set with Just A touch which features Will.I.Am before breezing into substitute lover and album highlights magnificent and the new single come over where she picked out girls to bump n grind with her male back up singers as well as a guy from the audience to dance with, one overly confident guy ran onto the stage to take a photo and steal a kiss instead of dancing with her. Estelle laughed it off and continued to entertain the audience with tales of bad dates she's experienced and guys shes 'been' with, she couldn't go into too much detail though as her mom was in the audience. The band were excellent especially the violinist and scratch dj forever instructing the crowd to dance and clap. She of course ended the set with American boy which amassed an epic singalong however she was back in no time for an encore coming back on stage seemingly surprised at the crowds demands for more estelle saying 'Wow I feel famous!!' she was even more happy to learn they were familiar with her first album 'The 18th day' with requests of 'Free' and debut single '1980' she delivered them with gutso clearly enjoying herself and showing her ablilty to switch between genres effortlessly. Estelle has definitely established herself as the u.k's urban leading lady and a shining star.
