Amazon.co.uk Review
Although voted best newcomer at the 2004 MOBO awards, for some, Estelle's debut, IThe 18th Day/I, has been a long time coming. One of the most respected female rappers in the UK, Estelle's style effortlessly eschews the trappings of sounding like her US counterparts and gives her a really natural, British, flow. PThe album is almost split into two distinct styles: one half funky, UK RB hip-hop whereas the other more downbeat and soulful. Opening track "1980" sums up the early part--the backing a wall of sound and the catchy vocals reminiscing about growing up. "Dance Bitch" is slightly more US sounding where one can hear echoes of Missy Elliott; "Go Gone" is fun and poppy, sounding like an update on the classic Northern Soul sound; and "Free" is a bouncy funk number and also second single.PFor the ballad "I Wanna Love You", Estelle slips more into singing mode and her confidence grows with each subsequent song. "Crazy" shows off the range and dexterity of her voice, it may not be that of a world-class soul diva but it's strong and the phrasing is fantastic. POne big highlight is, "I'm Gonna Win"--dramatic, rousing and an uplifting moment on a really enjoyable album. On IThe 18th Day/I there is very little filler and whilst the heavy ballad section can be a little bit too much, it never falls into bland mediocrity.--IDavid Trueman/I

This album is fantastic, each track is different and all brilliant. Estelle is very talented, as a singer, rapper and writer. Well worth buying.

This is a must for any fan of Urban music. Est'Elle is a fantastic singer and has an album full of strong, soulful tracks. The singles '1980' and 'Free' are great but the album has so much more to offer. Every song is credible and worth listening to and this in my opinion is one of the best (if not the best) album of the year. Est'Elle is here and flying the flag for British black music, let's not turn away another raw talented artist! brBuy this album!

All the songs make you feel good. "Go Gone" is a particular favourite aswell as "1980" which tells the story of her life in a creative way. Im beginning to think that her first album is better than her second but since i've played it more times maybe it is not a fair comparison. Needless to say both are amazing, it's great to see a successful british Rb/rap artist which is actually talented.
Brilliant first album April 1, 2008

I love this CD, each song is different with a mix of both rap and singing, its a very good CD and should have done better sales wise.
