All of Me
On her third record, Estelle's more focused on hitmaking than crafting a cohesive album statement.
Rihanna's success might give some people pause at the idea that any of those single-named R&B hitstresses could attain the career longevity that Amerie and Ciara could not. But it took Rihanna an absurd amount of time to achieve a household name—namely, six albums in seven years, which despite plenty of hits (especially "We Found Love," "Umbrella," "SOS" and the underrated "Disturbia") likely took a backseat to her unfortunate history of abuse at her Grammy-winning ex's hands to get there. Amerie, Ciara and Estelle barely have six albums between them.
Estelle seems split between her loyalties to London and New York on her new album, writes <strong>Caroline Sullivan</strong>
