Estelle is the new Lauryn Hill...?

I Like It I Don't Like It
UK pop star Estelle graces the cover of the April edition in BLEU magazine. The UK sensation is the first artist to ever receive a double cover spread in the magazine's history. In the article she talks about being compared to Lauryn Hill and also goes on to discuss how the UK does not know how to promote Black Artists. Now I will be the first to admit that we are in desperate need of a new Lauryn, I'm just not sure that Estelle is it. Estelle should also clarify if they mean Old Lauryn or New Crazy Lauryn....I love "American Boy" but we need at least one solid CD before we start calling people Lauryn (the old one) . Anyway here is what she said in the interview:

"I think they compare me to her (Lauryn Hill) because I'm dark-skinned and I sing and rap. But, if they're saying the music is just as great, then compare me all day because I'll be really happy about that."

I think she looks more like Brandy then Lauryn anyway. Are you a publicty stunter? Subscribe here
