Estelle

Estelle wants listeners to know she's not just the happy-go-lucky Londoner many first met on 2008's "American Boy," her cheery hit single with Kanye West. "The Life," the opening track to "All Of Me" (her first album in nearly four years, due out Tuesday), finds the 32-year-old Grammy nominee rapping in her heavy accent, "Tiny with a temper, I'm-a get it till I pass out. " She's not kidding about the temper. "All of Me" isn't a break-up album per se, but some of its more emotionally draining tracks were written as Estelle's three-year relationship crumbled.

Murphy's as the next establishment it helps, "Kitchen Nightmares"/"Restaurant Impossible"-style. Filming begins at the Fells Point bar next week. In other bar news, Erik reviewed Punk's Backyard Grill, the rare bar that succeeds while being attached to a mall. Read his review here . •••• Frequent Midnight Sun contributor Jay Trucker saw Guns N' Roseson Thursday night at Fillmore Silver Spring.
