Veteran singer/songwriter Estelle is back with the release of her brand new single “Oh I”.
The song is the lead single from her upcoming sixth studio album which is set to release this Fall.
The new single was written by Estelle and co-produced by Grammy Award-winning producer and songwriter Keith Harris, who previously collaborated with her on the global smash hit “American Boy.” Their creative synergy now brings us “Oh I,” a song that delves into the journey of making a choice to change and the commitment to that decision.
For the creation of “Oh I,” Estelle tapped into her British soul-pop inspirations and the 80s and 90s international house music she grew up on. Drawing from the sounds of artists like Jamiroquai, N’dea Davenport, Soul II Soul, Loose Ends, Robbie Williams, Beverley Knight, Mica Paris, Martha Wash, Rosie Gaines, and Sylvester, Estelle infused the song with decades of musical influence. She adds:
“Pretty much everything I’ve absorbed from years of listening and moving through the world as a lover of music and being born in London showed up for me. ‘Oh I’ is intended for everyone who’s had to get real with themselves and take their joy back. And if this isn’t you, I pray that you are reminded of your joy and self, and feel even more joy hearing this record.”
Stay tuned for more on the upcoming album.
