I hate that if you do one style of music or become really well known for that one song, that everything that comes after has to fit that mold.
From Estelle
My mom, for all intents and purposes, was a single parent.
I grew up in a family of nine kids.
The Grammy snuck up on me. I was on tour. It just hit me. I skipped down the street in Vienna. I kept saying, 'I won. I won.'
I just have a way about me where people know that they don't tell me what to do, they kind of just wait for me to do it.
I remember being, like, the age of 7 and just always being in control of something or someone, a baby somewhere. I had lots of cousins and brothers, and we were all taught that's how you are, you know. Things don't just run themselves; you have to make them run.
Basically, if you go looking for trouble, it'll come find you.
I always thought that if record companies didn't understand me, fine - I'd go and do it by myself.
Lesson one, introduce yourself to everyone when you walk into a room. Don't act like you're too bougie to say, 'Hello.'
'Something Good' is a feel-good song. A reminder that you're dope and have something wonderful to offer life and yourself and the world.
