Esthero

My friend gave me a copy of her songs from different albums. Love love :) Galing nya. Not the usual you hear on normal day-to-day case basis. She sings so sweetly but her lyrics are ass-kickers. Kinda like Lily Allen a bit, but not quite. Hehe! Angas kasi Esthero, but you wouldn't notice that in most of her songs. You wouldn't even imagine she looks like this. Haha! :) Very beautiful and talented. Props! :)


Esthero (born Jenny-Bea Englishman, December 23, 1978 in Stratford, Ontario) is a Canadian singer-songwriter who hails originally from Toronto, Ontario, but has recently moved to Los Angeles. The name Esthero, pronounced [ɛsˈtɛroʊ] es-TAIR-oh, refers both to the singer and formerly to the two-person team of herself and producer, Doc. She claims to have gotten the name by combining the name of the heroine (Esther) and last line ("If I am to be the hero, then I cannot fly from darkness.") of the movie from Sylvia Plath's novel, 'The Bell Jar'.

Esthero's sound characteristically features her voice over a mix of mellow bass lines, jazzy trumpets, Spanish guitar and hip-hop. She is sometimes compared to artists Björk, Portishead and Sade . Later artists who count Esthero among their influences include Res, Fergie and fellow Canadian Nelly Furtado.

Esthero's brother, Jason Englishman, is also a musician.
