Esmee Denters Premieres 'Love Dealer' Video Today on Vevo.com

LOS ANGELES, April 28 /PRNewswire/ -- YouTube and Internet sensation, Esmee Denters, will premiere the video for her debut single, "Love Dealer," this morning on Vevo.com.  The single, co-written by Esmee and co-produced by Grammy and Emmy Award winner, Justin Timberlake along with Stargate, is taken from her forthcoming Tennman Records/Interscope LP, Outta Here, due out late summer 2010.  Shot in downtown Los Angeles by music video and film directors and brothers, Emmett and Brendan Malloy aka The Malloys (Vampire Weekend, N*E*R*D, The White Stripes, Cold War Kids), the video features both Esmee and Justin.  "Love Dealer" will be available on iTunes on May 4 and will impact radio on May 25.

Esmee was 17 when she began posting videos of herself on YouTube singing her favorite hits by Beyonce, Alicia Keys, Pink, and Natasha Bedingfield, which she recorded in the bedroom of her suburban home of Oosterbeek in the Netherlands.  "I had seen all these videos of amateur singers, which gave me the idea," she says.  "I was just interested in what other people thought of my voice," she says.  "My friends had told me they liked my singing, but I was curious to get strangers' opinions because music was what I really wanted to do." When the videos were a hit and viewers started to make requests, Esmee was encouraged and began posting several clips a week, including songs she'd written herself.  Within nine months, Esmee's videos had racked up 21 million views and the teenager became the No. 1 Most-Subscribed to Musician in the history of the popular video-sharing website.  It may have been her YouTube popularity that led Timberlake to seek out Esmee six months after her videos began to appear online, but it was her silky, soulful voice, natural charisma, and songwriting talent that sold him on signing her to his Interscope imprint, Tennman Records.
