“American Boy”- Estelle

Oh. My. God. Sorry it took so long for me to post again, but my summer school work has been killing me. Now it’s FINISHED!!! And I’ve been exhausted : D , but I have been thinking about what song to review next. Anyway, here’s “American Boy” by Estelle.

Overall, a pretty good song. Usually I avoid listening to reggae-ish, hip-hoppy song (don’t pull out a dictionary, you won’t find these adjectives in there! XD), but my sister, along with my three favorite radio stations, made me listen to it. I’m not a huge fan, but it’s got a great dancing beat and you can’t help but follow along with Estelle’s especially-amazing voice in this song. Another classic example of an artist perfectly fitting the type of song she’s singing. Plus if you’re a fan of this genre, you’ll probably like it even more. The video is pretty cool, too. It opens with Estelle dressed like she’s at a photoshoot or doing a perfume commercial (really pretty!) and Kanye West dressed up like a regular superstar! Not to mention a few other “american boys” that I just can’t name. It’s a black and white vid, but that just adds to the effect that it has on you. One of the coolest parts is when Estelle is dancing and you can see her shadow on the wall dancing in a completely different way. Definitely a cool video to watch and I’ve already put it up!

Love and Peace,
