09/Estelle feat. Cee-Lo/Pretty Please (Love Me)
AND
09/Jazmine Sullivan feat. Missy Elliot/Need U Bad
When did I finally succumb to the club friendly “If I were a rich girl” vibes of Estelle’s American Boy? July 2008. But this track? This track right here? Fell in love instantly. Why? Cause it speaks to me. I can relate. Wanting love, needing love, accepting love flaws and all. It’s something to which we can all relate, right? It’s the same reason why I also fell head over heels in love with the slow burning reggae tinged flavor of Jazmine Sullivan’s Need U Bad. But let’s be real here, it ain’t just the bare and honest sentimentality that ropes you in, it’s also the delivery, and Estelle (along with Cee-Lo), and Jazmine (with a little help from Missy Elliot) deliver these songs and heartfelt sentiments with such soul bearing passion and honesty that you can’t help being compelled to listen, and hope that in the end, love will rule supreme.
AND
Nine Inch Nails/Discipline
