Album Description
Available in:
All of Me is the third studio album by English R&B recording artist and producer Estelle. It was first released on 24 February 2012 in Ireland, 28 February in the United States and 12 March in the United Kingdom.
Estelle confirmed her second album would be entitled All of Me in 2009. The album was originally led by the single "Freak" featuring Kardinal Offishall and produced by David Guetta. The video premiered on her website on 26 February 2010. The original second single from the album was announced as being "Fall in Love", which featured versions featuring Nas and John Legend. Due to the underperformance of both "Freak" and "Fall in Love", both songs were ultimately left off the final track listing for All of Me. However, "Freak" was featured on both the Step Up 3D soundtrack and the reissue of David Guetta's album One Love, entitled One More Love. In the U.S, both "Freak" and "Fall in Love" featured on the iTunes digital deluxe edition of the album.
In 2011, it was announced that "Break My Heart", featuring Rick Ross would be released as the new lead single from All of Me. It was released on 26 April 2011 and sent to US urban radio stations on 17 May 2011. The song peaked at number 33 on the U.S. Hip-Hop/R&B, the week of 2 July 2011. The following week the song rose to 37. Dual second singles were released in the US and UK. In the US, the second single was announced as being "Thank You" whereas "Back to Love" (not to be confused with "Back in Love" from Shine) was issued in the UK. "Wonderful Life" was released as the third single from the album in the United States on 14 February 2012.
User Album Review
"Ain't slowing down, I only know speed," raps Estelle on All of Me's second track. Not when it comes to getting this album out – the Londoner's third LP has on the verge of release since 2010. In that time, its first two trailer singles – the David Guetta-produced Freak and the rather classier Fall in Love – have both been nixed from the tracklisting.
If this suggests a lack of confidence in All of Me's commercial potential, that's not entirely without founding. After opening with a pair of bragging rap tracks – Estelle's living the life! Estelle's an international jet-setter who's mates with Chris Brown! – All of Me settles into a more subdued groove. At its core are a clutch of sleek, shimmering neo-soul songs reminiscent of early Erykah Badu and Mary J. Blige.
Estelle carries these off well enough – her vocals are more confident than before and her lyrics deal with proper, complicated adult relationships. "I can be so pretentious, but he likes me just the same," is not a line likely to feature on the Willow Smith album. However, none of these tunes sound primed to rival the likes of Adele or Emeli Sandé for playlist space.
Hence the album's bet-hedging. As well as those incongruous rap cuts, All of Me includes a funky Janelle Monáe collaboration called Do Your Thing and the bouncy Back to Love, which seems to want to rewrite Coldplay's Viva la Vida. Of course, Estelle knows from experience how one hit can sell an album; her last one, 2008's Shine, went gold off the back of the chart-topping American Boy.
The lack of standout hits here is disappointing, but All of Me's Achilles heel is its conversational interludes. They're not just dated and gratuitous, but also a knock-off from another record. By the time Estelle name-checks "The Miseducation" on the album's penultimate track, the damage has been done. It's already clear that All of Me isn't in the same league as Lauryn Hill's genre classic.
