Her latest single, featuring the lyrical prowess of LaRussell and the soulful trumpet of Keyon Harrold, is a jazz-infused, uptempo anthem that beckons you to the dance floor. Co-written with LaRussell and produced by Keith Harris, the track is a vibrant blend of jazz, big band, piano, funk, and R&B, reminiscent of the late ’70s and early ’80s. It's a musical cocktail that pays homage to legends like Michael Jackson, Quincy Jones, and Stevie Wonder.
"New Direction" is more than just a song; it's a declaration of personal freedom and joy. Estelle herself describes it as a reminder of the pure bliss found in dancing with friends and embracing one's true self. The track is a teaser for her upcoming sixth studio album, Stay Alta, set to release on May 23rd.
The official music video (see below), released just three days ago, visually captures the song's infectious energy and is available on Estelle's YouTube channel. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to her music, "New Direction" is a fresh, invigorating experience that showcases Estelle's evolution as an artist.
