Another new press release. Too bad Whine is just another standalone single. It has great potential to be a mini size hit with the right promotion behind it.
Sidebar: I listened to both those interviews with Estelle and James. They were both great and gave her nothing but praise and her flowers throughout the interview.
The takeaway from Estelle's interview is that her management didn't believe in her around the time with Smoove Jones. She believed in Smoove Jones as a project and took a meeting with Apple's Carl Cherry alone no management involved. He listened to her ideas, what she had going with on the project (her wine, calendars, and chocolates), and that's how Smoove Jones became a Apple Music exclusive release in 2016.
The takeaway so far in James interview is back then at the time of her debut release she wanted We're Gonna Make Ya Dance her debut single. She wanted that song to be her introduction as an artist. She had a whole visual concept and all. In present day now she would want If You Were Mine released as a single because of the church chords and it reminded her of Monica's earlier singles/ballads.

Doesn't top Girls Dem Sugar for me, but I love the video. It hits close to home 😍 She looks hot as usual.

Nothing will ever top Girls Dem Sugar but it's definitely better than the last couple of dancehall, reggae singles she released i.e. Handsfree (it's ok) and X-Rated.
Her Top 3 Reggae/Dancehall 1. Girls Dem Sugar 2. Things Come & Go 3. Whine
Honorable mention(s) Rear View Mirror Take Him Out

I listened to part two of the track by track commentary and here are some of the takeaways. I forgot to mentioned in part one she started doing merchandise deals with different retailers like Forever 21. Consumers/fans can now purchase her shirt at Forever 21. She admitted she wasn't always comfortable putting/seeing her face on shirts. In part two, she discussed her voice type, she's more so an alto than soprano however a lot of earlier songs required her to sing first soprano in her higher register because of how the songs were programmed. Listening back, she said she sounds like Disney/Nickelodeon and noticed a lot quirkiness. She would've approach the songs different vocally if she had it her way. She mentioned her projects are done, mixed, mastered, and paid for. They'll be release one day soon once all the right components are align. She always wanted to do something live with "Don't Be Afraid" and contemplated shooting a music video for it. She didn't wanted to record "My First Night With You" at all. She had to be convinced and talked into it.
