New artist Esmée Denters, the 21-year-old Dutch songstress, and the YouTude Protege of Justin Timberlake has finally put out a music video to support her new single "Outta Here", the first release and title track off the Dutch pop singer's debut album, released in the UK on January 11, 2010 and features the previous 2008 charity duet with Timberlake, "Follow My Lead" as an additional bonus song.Before becoming a singer, Denters was a pancake house waitress from Westervoort, and a regular cover-artist on video-sharing website YouTube, where she covered songs from some of the biggest charting artists like Alicia Keys, Pink, and Natasha Bedingfield until she caught Timberlake's attention. From her webcam at home to 70,000 people in Holland's Amsterdam Arena supporting Timberlake, she's had a big step up in her career. Her YouTube videos have racked up over 133 million hits. Her debut album "Outta Here" shows not only her voice, but her writing talent as well, creatively collaborating with Timberlake on a big part of the album, which is a mix of Pop and R&B with both ballads, and uptempo tracks.
The single "Outta Here" is part pop, part R&B with a twist of soul that the internet sensation says encapsulates who she is. Speaking about the inspiration behind its songs, Denters stated: "I wanted my album to represent exactly who I am. Because I'm a 20-year-old girl, sometimes I just wanna go out and have fun with my girls. So that side of me naturally appears on the record. But then there's also a deeper side to me that's in there too, where I talk about relationships, getting your heart broken, feeling betrayed... So yeah, I guess I basically just wanted to vent all my personal issues on the record, while at the same time giving people songs that they can relate to."
The music video mostly features Denters having personal troubles with her boyfriend, she then starts to remove him from her life. Later in the video it shows her celebrating in a club and then flashes back to an image of Denters in a corner crying, ending singing to the camera laying on her back, wearing headphones. Denters herself has confirmed something along these lines, saying, "it has a strong message that says when someone treats you bad, just get out of that situation and think about yourself first." YouTube sensation's voice is very current and the amount of control she has when she does those runs is incredible! With her look, talent and the backing of someone like Timberlake, I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot more of her!
Wonderful song! Her voice is so beautiful. A strong girl even though "My fault for thinking you loved me" as she says. Yes, it's a good thing to find out that. Go "Outta Here!" and don't forget that you deserve a better life.
