Estelle Fanta Swaray (born 18 January 1980), widely known as Estelle, and formerly as Est'elle, is a British Grammy Award-nominated hip hop/R&B singer, rapper, and producer.
Shine is the second album by hip hop singer, Estelle. The album was released on 31 March 2008 with the lead single, "Wait a Minute (Just a Touch)", released in November 2007. The second single, "American Boy" featuring Kanye West reached number one in the UK Singles Chart on downloads alone and was released physically on March 24. The American Boy remixes, and the Album "Shine" were taken off of the US iTunes store due to a decision by Atlantic to follow Kid Rock's successful decision to not sell his latest album on iTunes or any digital retailer. It was added back onto the store on 9 September due to a large drop off in sales and "American Boy"'s decline in Billboard rankings. Shine has been certified Gold in the UK, denoting 100,000 copies sold.
Shine was one of the twelve nominees for the 2008 Mercury Prize.
