In the mid-'00s, British singer Estelle made a name for herself with her no-nonsense, kitchen-sink approach to 21st-century soul. Shine established her as one of R&B’s premier talents at both singing and genre-melding, with her bubbly, confident voice tackling reggae (on the sunshine-bright “No Substitute Love” and the feather-light “Come Over”), hip-pop (the strutting “In the Rain”) and the tightly wound funk of her Kanye West-assisted, will.i.am-produced breakthrough hit, “American Boy”.
