True romance

"True Romance (...) finds Estelle hewing a narrative, singing about passion and healing with the kind of focus and intimacy that all neo-soul ballads require. It's a decidedly inward-looking album, but as such seems too aspirational for its own good: Estelle narrates her experiences, and hovers so closely to the outline that it feels like we're checking boxes rather than happening upon these themes organically".

"Tracing the stages of a relationship, the album is split into themes including courage, passion and (of course) true romance. It's a loose concept, but it delivers: "Something Good" keeps the Nineties-house revival pumping, while "Silly Girls" is Seventies slow-jam sumptuousness. Even better is "All That Matters" - a love letter to Dionne Warwick's Bacharach-David days that gives this album a fairy-tale ending".
