Estee Gabay has a new video, sound, and stage name.

Now going by simply “Estee,” the local indie-R&B artist released a video yesterday for the new single “Down.” Unlike the youthful-but-clever pop of her first album Green, “Down” demonstrates a more soulful sound.

“I’m moving towards a more adult-oriented, R&B sound and I’m getting better at infusing synthetic and organic elements in a more sophisticated way,” she says .“I feel like I have found my sound; sophisti-pop, if you will.”

Mastered by local Grammy Award-winning audio mastering engineer Vlado Meller (Kanye West, Michael Jackson, George Michael, and more), the single’s release is accompanied by a video created by the new local creative firm, The Royal Wild.

You can watch the video on YouTube, while “Down” can be heard Soundcloud and purchased on Bandcamp.
