Esmée Denters: 'Outta Here'

Lots of girls dream of landing Justin Timberlake as a New Best Friend, but for 20-year-old Dutch singer Esmée Denters that dream became a reality last year when the 'SexyBack' star spotted her homemade music videos on YouTube and promptly offered her a record deal. Since then she's been whisked over to the States, given a wholesome all-American makeover and is now ready to launch herself on the world stage.

'Outta Here', co-written and produced by JT, is very much the typical R&B-tinged pop debut - the sort of thing deployed by the likes of Mandy Moore, Stacie Orrico and Christina Aguilera at the start of their variously successful careers. "I feel so betrayed, what a waste of my heart," Denters wails as she launches into an emotion-packed chorus bemoaning a lying boyfriend. It may show off the powerful pipes that amassed all those millions of YouTube hits, but unfortunately there are no real signs of passion or charisma here.
