Estelle continues her transformation from British wannabe to American diva with this, her new single entitled No Substitute Love. And as a British guy, I already feel like we’ve lost her to the talent-stealing yanks (no offence).
Not that that is necessarily a bad thing, as she is sure to have a much more successful career […]
Musical collaborations are an odd genre, as they can either go spectacularly well or spectacularly badly. There just doesn’t seem to be any middle ground involved.
Good Collaborations
Mint Royale and Gene Kelly
Kanye West and Chris Martin
Madonna and Justin Timberlake
Bad Collaborations
Nelly and Fergie
Will.I.Am and Cheryl Cole
Michael Jackson and Akon

I’m a massive fan of Kanye West, and of Coldplay, so this single featuring them both (well, Chris Martin rather than Coldplay) is like manna from Heaven for me.
You can tell a musical genius a mile off, as unlike just your average Pop singer, they exude something extra, some hidden quality control which means their […]
It’s time for a bit of old-school now, as I felt the need to prove to myself, and to everyone else who may have noticed the sudden decline in the quality of Hip-Hop that it can actually be a brilliant genre of music.
After having sat through not only two releases from Soulja Boy and wondering […]
Any regular readers of Killed By The Video Star will know my problem with the new generation of rappers - the majority are untalented, derivative, unoriginal and shouldn’t be getting paid for the crap they are putting out.
The worst I’ve heard so far is Soulja Boy, who unbelievably managed to put out a worse second […]
Wow, I can’t believe this day has actually arrived, but it’s here in all its glory. Yes, I have finally found an American R’n’B song I actually like! Unfortunately the video is a bit crap, but one out of two ain’t bad.
I’ve been quite scathing on the genre here on Killed By The Video Star […]
Kanye West seems to have turned in to collaboration man lately, only being able to release songs if someone else is there with him holding his hand.
But now, he’s back on his own, and with a single that shows the man has more talent in his right pinky than a swathe of the current breed […]
Right now Estelle is sitting pretty at the top of the British music charts, and is liable to do just as well in America with the help of her collaboration with Kanye West on American Boy.
But she’s actually been around for a few years now, and had a couple of songs enter the charts back […]
I’d never heard of Lupe Fiasco before this song came out, but now I hear him everywhere I go, be it the local pub, shopping mall or on every music television channel this side of MTV.
Is he Kanye West’s younger brother or something? As he looks and acts like a mini Kanye, with the same […]
This is Kid Sister with Pro Nails, her first collaboration with Kanye West, who is apparently her mentor. That just puts me in mind of Obi-Wan Kenobi tutoring Anakin Skywalker, and we all know how that turned out.
I’m not implying for a second that Kanye is going to try and teach Kid Sister how to […]
