Late January it was announced Esmée would make an appearance in the dutch television hit “Ik hou van Holland” (I Love Holland). It’s one of the biggest dutch television shows of all time. Two teams will compete to find out who knows the most about the Netherlands. It’s really a fun family show to watch!

Esmée pre-recorded her appearance last week (February 7). The first episode of the new season will air February 25, but we are not sure which episode Esmée will appear in. We are really excited for this appearance, since it’s a big tv show in Holland and it’s good promotion for Esmée since it’s been a while since she was on dutch television!

First of all sorry for the lack of updates lately. There isn’t much to update you on but my motivation to keep the site updated was really low especially since my personal life kept me busy. I even considered closing the site at one point, but I decided to keep it since I would hate to see all my hard work go away. Don’t get me wrong, I still love and support Esmée but it’s hard to keep a site open and a live when the last time Esmée released her own music was in 2009.

I will try to keep you guys up-to-date and catch up with a few missing updates this week. Again, I am sorry for the lack of updates.

Finally, some good news on Esmée second album “Screaming Out Loud“. Esmée filmed the music video for her first single “City Lights” of the album last night. We added the first set photos in our gallery. We absolutely love Esmée’s look, she looks stunning with her blond do and her make-up by Samantha & Nicola Chapman is simply beautiful.

Daniel Broadley is the video director of the video, be sure to see his work on his official website. We are so excited; it seems like we really get to hear new music soon!

Just like last year we decided to review 2011. Give you the highlights and our favorite. Although this year was relatively quite it was still a good and exciting year for Esmée and us fans. We made 83 posts in 2011.

I just wanted to wish all our visitors, and Esmée and her team and family a Merry Christmas. I hope you will have a lovely holidays with your loved ones. Esmée is currently back in the Netherlands to spend it with her family.

Esmée just wrapped up a really short (only a few minutes) live chat. There isn’t much to re-cap on, only that but here are some short facts on what she talked about for the people who missed it:

• She introduced Ben Cullum, he is one of the producers of her upcoming second album “Screaming Out Loud“. He is playing the keys on Esmée’s latest cover, including her latest cover “It will Rain“. She is currently working in the Sunhatch studios of Ben Cullum.
• She is currently working on the acoustic version of “City Lights” and she is back in the studio to work on “Screaming Out Loud“. She revealed earlier she is going to working on a few more songs for the album.
• The album is going to be “amazing once it’s done“.
• She sang a little bit of “It will rain” and gave us an exclusive preview of the acoustic version of “City Lights“.
• She also confirmed new music is coming soon. She will shoot the first music video of the second album soon. She recently confirmed new music will come early next year so we hope we will get the first single “City Lights” then.

The live chat was short because she had to go back to work since she is still working in the studio. At the moment you can still see Esmée working in the studio with Ben and her manager Jonathan since they are still doing a live chat without sound. Go to this page to join the chat.

Short Livechat but effective. I might put it on later on witout sound so you guys can see what we do in the studio
