From her West London upbringing to her latest album, Stay Alta, Estelle dives deep into her philosophy of choosing light, navigating the industry, and the profound influence of her musical heroes. Tune in as she breaks down the creation of her new hit song "Roses" during "the Panini" (her endearing term for the pandemic), and shares the surprising origin of "American Boy." Estelle opens up about her incredible collaborative spirit, the importance of artistic integrity, and her encounters with legends, including a truly wild and inspiring story about Prince. Beyond her own artistry, Estelle champions other talent on her Apple Music radio program, The Estelle Show, which has reached over 1,000 episodes! She also weighs in on the timeless debate of 80s vs. 90s music, and participates in our signature "Keep or Kill" game, offering bold opinions on Brandy vs. Monica, Diana Ross vs. Chaka Khan, and more.
