Justin Timberlake’s new label Tennman Records has signed its first artist and she’s no joke. The 18 year old Dutch songstress is Esmee Denters and Justin is so excited he’s bringing her on tour with him.
Justin revealed yesterday (05.06.07): “In completely unpredicted news to all YouTubers and bloggers, we are proud to announce Esmee Denters has signed to Tennman Records and she will be joining me on tour this summer.”“Esmee is the real deal and I cannot wait for the world to hear her, but all of her fans on YouTube should not worry, we will keep you in the loop every step of the way.”
Dutch singer Denters, whose web page attracted 21 million hits from web users eager to see her cover versions of hits by Beyonce Knowles, Alanis Morisette and Alicia Keys, is looking forward to writing and recording an album this year.
She said: “Words can’t describe how amazing it is. I am so excited! It is something I have always dreamed of doing. I have to thank YouTube and its viewers for giving me the opportunity to show the world my voice.”
So I went to go check her since she’s on YouTube and I listened to her cover of Otis Redding’s “Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay” and I was amazed. She killed it! She will need a makeover at first but looks don’t make you a good singer. I’m sure I don’t need to mention any names. Here’s Esmee:
