Estère along with her
trusty companion Lola (MPC) will re-release her debut
album digitally on the 6th of March with two exclusive remixes
by Grayson Gilmour and Paddy Fred.
Her self-titled seven track album, which was initially released as a free
download via bandcamp, amassed her 4000 downloads within the
first month of release and led to her signing with French tastemaker label
No Format on their imprint label Prospect.
In honour of her European release Estère is simultaneously
putting out this NZ only itunes digital release featuring
two bonus remixes by producers Grayson Gilmour, reworking Patchwork Soldier and up and coming producer Paddy Fred on I Spy.
You can listen to
Grayson Gilmour's remix of Patchwork Soldier here – http://bit.ly/16o6lgF
"Basically, I
decided to construct an entirely new song around Estère's vocals, playing with all kinds of
arrangements before hitting this one, it's a strange mix of influences which crosses a few borders. Enjoy!" says
Grayson of the remix.
Album pre-orders
are available now with an instant free download of her single I Spy –

The NZ Music Awards Critics Choice finalist was credited by influential North
American blog Afropunk as
being at #4 in their top 20 albums of the year
alongside the likes of D’Angelo, Prince and FKA Twigs. Furthermore her debut single I Spy was placed at #2 for top
singles of the year and it’s video was also ranked at #2.
2014 was an extraordinary year of
achievements for Estère including opening for international
acts Erykah Badu, Aloe Blacc,
Katy Tunstall and Morcheeba. She also graced the cover
of Time Out Magazine in April, performed at the NZ Silver Scroll
