'Shine' is a joint venture with Homeschool and Atlantic Records.
"I have known John for a while now... We worked on my first album '18th Day' before he was signed. He featured on 'Hey Girl', played piano on 'Free', and appeared in the video. As I went to do my second album I asked him to help exec-produce it. As I progressed with it, I left my label andhe said he'd sign me... and here we are today! We always make great songs together. While I like and listen to a lot of musicians - there aren't many that I respect on a level to help me write songs or upgrade/push me as an artist... but John is one of them."
John Legend continues: "I'm thrilled to be a part of Estelle's career. This ablum is truly an accomplishment. She will be one of the most exciting breakthrough talents of 2008. Mark my words." |
