Jay Jordan A beautiful and expressive set of tracks that makes for an absolutely addictive listen—rich with Estelle’s distinctive voice, memorable hooks, satisfying production and touchingly honest lyrics. I’ve been pining for more ever since finding Music 2 and this is an even stronger effort. Estelle has grown, dropped a huge set of bangers on us with Strange Creature and we are all grateful for it. Thanks, Estelle. Favorite track: girlfriend.

worm 02:02
Sometimes I wanna go home What if you had a good time? Sometimes I feel a bit anxious What if you are? Sometimes I want a new body What if you weren’t your body? Sometimes I think you can hear me Whoever you are

chrysalis 01:54
I suck on the flower like I’m Bradley I float on the water like I’m baptized New wings on my body like an F14 No I don’t play with the vampires in the night sky I fly down south when I miss sunshine Don’t bite on my ass, you are such a horsefly Suck blood till you die You’re a parasite I hope you like it on that hill, you look good in a hive I just stepped out the chrysalis Give me something to put on ‘Cause I know what I, know what I want Is this a Sisyphean dream I can’t wake up from? I don’t know what I, know what I want Let me go You’re an eight-legged freak and I don’t wanna be your lunch Goodbye and good luck, please try another bug No I don’t give a fuck what gets stuck in your web Y’all thought I would be dead That’s a pupa, not an exoskeleton you knucklehead No I can’t hear what you said, ‘cause the air’s so loud No I don’t care what you think I won’t come down I don’t know where to go I’m just following the moonlight All the way to the poles Did you see me in a new light? It looks like you saw a ghost Say my name in the mirror One and two and three times I am not a caterpillar I just stepped out the chrysalis Give me something to put on ‘Cause I know what I, know what I want Is this a Sisyphean dream I can’t wake up from? I don’t know what I, know what I want I just stepped out the chrysalis Give me something to put on ‘Cause I know what I, know what I want

I just crawled out of my cave to say hello ‘Cause there’s something to you Did you fall from outer space? I have to know ‘Cause you feel familiar And I wonder what you see in my toothy smile and bloodshot eyes I’m not sure but I’m not asking if you’re not wondering why ‘Cause it’s one two step out my house and they’re running from me Got your neck in my mouth and they’re gunning for me So what Maybe I’m a monster, I’m not sure But you never mind Three, four steps out my house and they’re coming for me I got a hundred tentacles and the same amount of bullet holes in my body Call the pentagon, 9-1-1, is anyone gonna stop her? You just created a monster, there’s no going back anymore ‘Cause it’s one two step out my house and they’re running from me Got your neck in my mouth and they’re gunning for me So what Maybe I’m a monster, I’m not sure But you never mind Three, four steps out my house and they’re coming for me

girlfriend 01:30
I wish I didn’t have to tell you Now I’m like where’ve you been? I think I wanna be your girlfriend You don’t have to save me You could say anything, tell me everything I wanna be your girlfriend Can we play dress up? I want you to wear me We can abscond with each other I’m reading Homestuck while you fight Artorias Will you be my Estus? And I’ll be your cornflower You can protect me from the bad dreams In the front seat, taste the sunshine when you kiss me I didn’t wanna fall down What was that about? That was someone else Yeah you put another song in my head and it’s so loud I’m not turning it down I’m feeling you right now I wish I didn’t have to tell you Now I’m like where’ve you been? I think I wanna be your girlfriend You don’t have to save me You could say anything, tell me everything I wanna be your girlfriend I wish I didn’t have to tell you Now I’m like where’ve you been? I think I wanna be your girlfriend You don’t have to save me You could say anything, tell me everything I wanna be your girlfriend Trust fall There’s a crash pad down below Just fall I wanna be your girlfriend

It’s funny how we said that we were gonna go to sleep Instead of staying up all night talking about silly things And not so silly things, ‘cause now the bags under my eyes are at capacity That’s okay, because you’re here with me You smell nice and you’re awesome I just wanna taste all of that sugar at the bottom of your cup you runneth over Is this feeling in my chest like caffeination or no longer being depressed ‘Cause when you say something I just wanna hear it over and over I think we’ve been here too long I just wanna sing your favorite song And sleep through the dawn I think we’ve been here too long I think we’ve been here too long Baby we’ve been here too long Just had a thought, it was here now it’s gone It left through the door Why don’t we sleep through the dawn? Just for a little bit longer I hear the birds outside It’s only 6:45, why don’t we just stay right here And waste some time We’ll let it pass us by Don’t worry, I’ll be here anytime you wanna spend the night We’ll waste some time [Gotta hit up Dende for his lyrics but insert unfathomable amounts of sauce here] I hear the birds outside It’s only 6:45, why don’t we just stay right here And waste some time We’ll let it pass us by Don’t worry, I’ll be here anytime you wanna spend the night We’ll waste some time I hear the birds outside It’s only 6:45, why don’t we just stay right here And waste some time We’ll let it pass us by Don’t worry, I’ll be here anytime you wanna spend the night We’ll waste some time

sycamore 02:37
I’d like to see between the vines I’d love to know She’d like to be a tree sometime That’s all she wrote Now what? Is it easier to know what? And you know what? She was better off with no one Okay, I didn’t hear that but I appreciate it Try your best to put your right hand between your shoulder blades It’s kind of like being objective about the things you say I’ll hold back everything until it festers and they say they’ve gotta amputate it Now what? Is it easier to know what? And you know what? She was better off with no one Now what? You love the bees until they sting Because they die Tell me what you don’t want Hope you don’t shape shift when I take my clothes off Hide out in a makeshift mud hut I couldn’t tell you why Why? Now what? Well fucking now what? Now what? Is it easier to know what? And you know what? She was better off with no one Now what?

centipede 02:28
I don’t know what’s going on Maybe that’s okay and it’s just for awhile That’s how it goes I didn’t listen, can you say that again one more time? There’s something different in your voice but I cannot tell what You don’t sound the same No you don’t sound the same So what if we can’t work it out? I didn’t mean to wear you down I’m sorry that I love you always sounds the same I’m sorry that I love you always sounds the same Feels like a centipede under my skin Makes me wanna burn down everything I’m sorry that I love you always sounds the same I’m sorry that I love you always sounds the same Memories of the green grass side Have a little bit of sunshine I cannot fathom any reason why I wouldn’t feel the same about it Darling, don't you hate to cry? I keep telling you I don’t know why You keep telling me that you don’t mind And I don’t know why Are you at the end of your rope because if so you should tie a knot I’m afraid Uh, tell me a joke you made up on the spot or an impression of a train Just wait for me to hang up the phone It’s okay if you wanna be alone So what if we can’t work it out? I didn’t mean to wear you down I’m sorry that I love you always sounds the same I’m sorry that I love you always sounds the same Feels like a centipede under my skin Makes me wanna burn down everything I’m sorry that I love you always sounds the same I’m sorry that I love you always sounds the same

cornflower 02:03
There’s no way an angel could fit through a door with those wings You’re coming over on Monday to pick up your things You drew a hadrosaur for me, I hope she can stay There’s still a bump in the curb when you back out the gate Will you always be on my mind? Put in the tape and rewind To follow you into the tide Underwater How you swim, I know that you’ll always be on my mind Flowers would grow where you shine Now it’s always raining inside Hope that I’m not on your mind How you’ve been on mine That was dramatic, but you haven’t seen anything If you were a daffodil, I’d scour hell for the spring Hell doesn’t have any seasons but I’d take the gamble if you’d be a meadow with me right now But you’re not around It’s over now You’ll always be on my mind Put in the tape and rewind To follow you into the tide Underwater How you swim, I know that you’ll always be on my mind Flowers would grow where you shine Now it’s always raining inside Hope that I’m not on your mind How you’ve been on mine

I wanna live in New York I wanna ride in a Porsche I wanna forget about you when I think about you ‘Cause I don’t wanna cry anymore Yeah I wanna sit on the porch And hear you walk through the door I wanna forget about you when I think about you ‘Cause I can’t take it anymore When you pray you face the water Friendly conversation Just you and mother nature ‘Cause it ease your mind When you pray you face the water Half of god’s creation But you won’t turn to face the rest of humankind That’s right Look at me Tell me what you wanna see faster Long black fur coat like a bastard, and I don’t even own it That’s a real naughty word, you should back up I was pissing on the floor, now I’m back up I can’t hear you, shut the fuck up Big dick for a girl, you better buck up I wanna lay in your room I want a coupe I want a ferme le bouche Wanna get high, get zoot I want a boo I want a Canada Goose Colder I want the loot I want you telling the truth I want you wanting me how I been wanting you boo But it’s gone Poof I wanna live in New York I wanna ride in a Porsche I wanna forget about you when I think about you ‘Cause I don’t wanna cry anymore Yeah I wanna sit on the porch And hear you walk through the door I wanna forget about you when I think about you ‘Cause I can’t take it anymore

Ray 03:31
I thought that I could handle it There’s so much empty space here in my bed If you think that you could manage it, send me another picture of a thunderhead Instead of understanding it Reach out and touch my back so that I know you’re there ‘Cause I’m not gonna wait for you I swear I’m not gonna wait for you [I needa sit down and transcribe voicemail which will take a sec but imagine cute girl talking ab her chainsaw not working and then I answer the phone and she goes “oh?” and then Jacob Blieu says “music”]
