The Rest Is Still Unwritten

This is Esmee Denters, 18 year old YouTube phenomenon from Holland, singing “Unwritten” by Natasha Bedingfield. Normally a YouTube cover from someone I’ve never heard of doesn’t phase me very much, but this girls voice is really something else. She weighs like 2 pounds and has a voice that will knock. you. down.

What’s really special about little Esmee is the fact that through YouTube she actually scored a contract as the first signed artist with Tennman Records, Justin Timberlake’s new record company. She’s working on her first album right now, but don’t expect to hear anything from her until next year as she just got signed in June; maybe a first single by the holidays. In any case remember her name, I doubt it’ll be the last time you hear it.

For an extra special bit of goodness, near end of the video Natasha Bedingfield herself pops in and harmonizes for Esmee and helps her finish her own song.

After the jump is another YouTube video of hers, this time with her covering Alicia Keyes’ “How Come You Don’t Call Me”. Enjoy!
