At the opposite end of the musical spectrum from the original experimental hip-hop of the likes of DJ Shadow & a continent away (or as she sez: "Half a World Away") is another Englishman from Stratford, this being one Jenny-Bea Christina Englishman from Stratford, Ontario, Canada, a singer-songwriter more popularly known as Esthero. Esthero's style is characteristically her voice over a mix of mellow bass lines, jazzy trumpets, Spanish guitar, & hip-hop. A perfect combination for that ole Trip-hop thang.
