• Video Premiere: Estelle “Freak”

  03.03.10 | No Comments

  After a delay, Estelle’s new video for “Freak” is here. The video was directed by Nabil Elderkin who has worked with the likes of Seal, Will.i.am, Common, Mr. Hudson, Kanye West and more.

  Elderkin definitely lends his artistic vision to Estelle with this fashion drenched futuristic clip. There are tons of effects in the video and it’s a bit amazing how all that was transformed from a bunch of green screens. It’s a change from Estelle’s more soulful style but it’s an evolution, even if more into the trendy realm.

• Estelle Can Be a “Freak”

  02.26.10 | No Comments

  

  OHHHHHHHHHH my! Let’s get straight into this. David Guetta has produced a FUNKY dancefloor/club hit for Estelle. “Freak” features Kardinal Offishall and is the first single lifted from her third studio album All of Me. Estelle previewed her less soulful, more pop sound when she did the theme song for the Crystal Light commercial last year and this is another step towards that direction.

  The song sample’s Soul II Soul’s “Back To Life (However Do You Want Me)” and wow o wow all this energy and electro-dance funk is hittin’ all the right nerves. I think it’s safe to say, without getting a slap, that David Guetta is the top, near to being the top producer of the electro phase in mainstream music. Tune in later today for the video premiere of “Freak.”

• Mateo’s Underneath the Sky Mixtape Ch. 2

  06.06.09 | No Comments

  

  We’ve mentioned this before, Mateo is bleeding with raw talent and because of that we cannot help but be fans of the guy. A few months back he released Underneath the Sky Mixtape Ch. 1 and now he’s here with Ch. 2. Does he get better or what? You just cannot hate on him, because he’s too talented. He reinterprets Beyoncé’s “Diva’ to sing “A Diva is a female version of a Burglar”. At first we were like WHAT but his vocals and style pull it off making it pure ear candy. There are also guest spots from Teairra Marí and Kardinall Offishall. C’s fave “Oohh N Love” evolves with the addition of some simple yet effective drums. Hopefully we see an LP in the near future but in the meantime support the talent known as Mateo.
