Justin Timberlake discovered Esmee Denters through Youtube and based on her debut single, you can tell why.
When Donnie Klang released his debut album, Just a Rolling Stone, he received criticism for cribbing JT’s style and now it seems like Esmee is cribbing the style of Ciara (there are parts in the song where she sounds just like Ciara) and Danity Kane.
The song isn’t terrible by any means, in fact, it sounds very late 2000s but you have to wonder why JT would sign a fresh talent he discovered on the Internet and make her sound like so many people that came before her?
The truth is, almost any other female singer out right now could have released this as their third or fourth single but it doesn’t really do much to announce the arrival of a fresh new talent. Listen to “Casanova” after the jump

Maybe he wanted to fuckher?
Or is JT gay like whatshisname, the black dude?
Eh, the song is OK, I think that it may make it to the radio because has JT featured on the song, but in my opinion Outta Here is a much better, and she sings better on that song as well.
I agree Outta Here is Esmee's best song that I've heard.
Disappointing after all the hype.
This bitch is mediocre
Mainstream peeps don’t care bout no fancy shit, they’ll lap this shit up, yo
Don’t think this one will be a single, she has much better stuff on her album. Yeah, the album leaked. And no it will not cause a revolution in the pop/R&B world, but I personally really like the album and know it will sell well. It is just a well-produced album and she has a beautiful voice. It has several potential hits. A solid debut album to establish her name.
I do wonder if she will get famous, she does have a prettyy damn good voice, and i agree with her sounding like 345346 other female singers, not a bad thing, but just hard to break through like that
Doesn’t “Late 2000′s” just mean 2009, 2010, where it should be?
oh you know by late it meant early 2000′s …ugh
anyway the song is nothing amazing true but it’s still good and i do like her voice, she doesn’t look like the ground breaking type of artist anyway .. i kind of expect her to sound like every one else…
I heard about Esmee Denters on last.fm I watch her videos there. Another great song by her and it's cool that Justin Timberlake was featured on the song.
