Estelle weaves dancehall, reggae, soca and afrobeats to tell her parents' love storyâwhich should honestly be developed into a rom-comâin 14 tracks. As she details with NPR, her parents ended their relationship when she was 3-years-old and reconnected 20 years later. After another decade, they married when Estelle was 33.
"They've been needing to be together their whole lives and just had a different path to get back to each other," she says in her interview with NPR.
Standout tracks to closely listen to include "Meet Up" with Maleek Berry, "Don't Wanna" featuring Kranium, "Really Want" with Konshens and Nick + Navi and "Queen" featuring Chronixx.
