Estelle has announced an April/May European tour in celebration of her smash new album, All Of Me.
The Grammy Award-winning soul sensation will perform a series of unforgettable shows across Europe, beginning April 20th in Schuttorf, Germany, and ends May 17th in Dublin, Ireland (see attached itinerary). Tickets for most dates are on sale now via www.estellemusic.com.
"I can’t wait to be back home performing live for all my European fans," said Estelle on the brink of releasing her highly anticipated new album. "This album 'All Of Me' really means a lot to me and I’m looking forward to sharing the album live with everyone."
'All Of Me' - which follows 2008’s blockbuster, 'Shine' debuted at No. 9 on on Billboard’s R&B Chart and features two critically acclaimed singles, 'Thank You' and 'Break My Heart (Feat. Rick Ross).'
Highlighted by collaborations with such luminaries as Rick Ross, Chris Brown, Trey Songz, and Janelle Monáe, the album has earned widespread critical acclaim. "‘All Of Me’ is a coherent, concise album that hearteningly is most characterised by its creator’s overflowing wells of confidence," declared Fact, while BBC Music praised the album’s clutch of sleek, shimmering songs reminiscent of early Erykah Badu and Mary J. Blige."
Rolling Stone applauded 'All Of Me' as 'multifaceted', further commending Estelle’s 'warm, tough hip-hop R&B' for its 'realness, conversational and smooth just the same."
Prior to All Of Me, Estelle’s Shine which marked the premiere release from Grammy Award-winner John Legend’s Homeschool Records label, in partnership with Atlantic Records - was without question one of 2008’s most compelling releases.
The album proved Estelle’s global breakthrough, fuelled in part by the phenomenal hit single, American Boy (Feat. Kanye West),- which was certified 2x-platinum in the U.S. and earned Estelle her first-ever Grammy Award.
