How good is 'American Boy' by Estelle?

It's a perfect lyric coming from someone idealizing the U.S. without having been there, and imagining that cities are a short hop apart.

New York and Los Angeles are two of the most iconic American cities, although the former is in New York on the East Coast and the latter in California on the West Coast, making travel between them hard. Both are also known for being notoriously expensive. However, with a net worth of $3 million USD, Estelle can certainly handle the costs.

this record is such a delight. for weeks now it's been my go-to whenever I'm not sure what to listen to next

yes!!

I posted about this song on another thread (help me identify a song thread). I somehow missed when this came out and hear it everywhere in the last year, but like, faintly in the background. And I knew I loved the song but had no clue who sang it. In the back of my mind, I always had a tickle, "this better not be fucking Kanye on this."

very good album, yes
