Estelle's new video is so good it's 'Freak'-y - watch the premiere now!

The other day we wrote about the new jam by Estelle (pictured above seated in the 'home' section of an Urban Outfitters) and David Guetta, a banging club corker that is a million miles from 'American Boy.' 

Well now the video has arrived, and by our count it is squarely in the QUITE GOOD to MIND BLOWINGLY-BRILLIANT range. 



Let's tally it up shall we:

Purple theme:  +1
Kaleidoscope effect:  +1
Things that happen in SPACE:  +2
Rappy bit where a man stands there and points because he cannot risk appearing 'pop' even while performing in a pop video:  -1
Pop star in a dress that is giant on the bottom but normal on top:  +4
Top-notch CGI:  +1
Neon:  +2
A GIANT FINGER that points from the sky FOR NO REASON:  +1
Estelle dancing:  -2

TOTAL:  9 points, plus an additional 3 discretionary points with no justification whatsoever just  to underscore the completely arbitrary nature of the point system, for a sum of TWELVE. 

What that number means, readers, is ultimately up to you, but I think we can all agree that it is clearly a VERY GOOD SCORE.

Estelle is a 'Freak' with David Guetta - listen to the brand new single now!

Make no mistake, kids, this is a world away from 'American Boy.'  But never fear - it is also pretty damn good.  After 'Boy''s huge success Estelle never quite caught on, with her other singles flailing around in the UK Top 40's lower reaches.  The album did ok, but clearly she had to come back with something big or risk living out her days in Blu Cantrell country.  Well, mission accomplished.  'Freak' is all samples and beats and epic drunken dancing at the gay bar, and heavily features the hook from that song from the 80's or 90's that everyone knows but doesn't remember the name of.  In other words it's quite acceptable and we here at ScopiSat can't wait for the video.



"Well done."

The video premiere has been pushed back a week, apparently, but should surface sometime in the beginning of March.  The single is out in a couple weeks.
