Подробнее о видео

Estelle joins Showcase from Jamaica to speak with Rhiannon Jones about her brand-new album Stay Alta — a joyful, high-vibration project created as a personal celebration after the pandemic.

Known globally for her Grammy-winning hit “American Boy” and collaborations with Kanye West and John Legend, Estelle opens up about the importance of choosing joy, dancing through life’s challenges, and leading with purpose.

She shares the inspiration behind her latest single “New Direction”, a soulful anthem about healing and forward motion, and explains how her roots in West London — from church choirs to rap battles — still shape her sound today.

Estelle reflects on the cultural legacy of American Boy, what it's like working with music icons, and why she's finally writing a book. She also talks about how staying “alta” means rising higher — emotionally, creatively, and spiritually.
