Hey, wasn't I just talking about
songs with lyrics I don't understand? My lovely friend
Bella sent this adorable French electropop artist my way and implored me to check her out. And holy wow, I can't stop listening (or looking, for that matter!).

As British sensation
Leona Lewis hurtles towards the USA, there's another singer from across the pond whom I'm really excited about:
Estelle. Although she's definitely reminiscent of other R&B singers like Erykah Badu and Lauryn Hill, Estelle's sound stands out as something entirely unique.
Her first album,
The 18th Day, was a hit in the UK, and these days, she has all kinds of talent collaborating on her new album, Shine, including Wyclef Jean, will.i.am, Swizz Beats, Mark Ronson, John Legend and Kanye West.
