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.

Read the full review after the jump/inside.
(more…)

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

Esmée did a short Q&A via her official facebook account. She talked about her upcoming album and confirmed we will have new music early next year! Be sure to read all the answers below.

On her music/career:
Erika Endriukaityte: Will your song ”Do you believe” be released on iTunes in the future? If not, when can we expect your next album or single?
You guys will hear new music at the very beginning of the new year

Alisha Prajapat: What is your favourite thing about being in the music industry?
The music and touring.. anything else is bullshit lol

On the (possible) upcoming tour:
Esin Erdil: Are you coming to Denmark one day?

Adina Eden Haffeez: Your favourite part of the Netherlands?

John Cahillane: Who was your inspiration in music when you was trying to break through? Who did you look up to?
Stevie wonder.. love him..

Esmée will do a live chat tomorrow in the studio (we assume Ben Cullum’s studio) and she also teased she might give us a sneak preview of the acoustic version of “City Lights“.

I am going to a live chat tomorrow in the studio.. who’s going 2 be there? You might here a short clip of the acoustic version of “City Lights”

Esmée also confirmed herself her first single is going to be “City Lights“, she said: “Can’t wait for you guys to hear my first single ‘City Lights’ you are in for a treat“. She recorded the acoustic version of the song today in the studio with Ben Cullum. Be sure to keep an eye on Esmée’s official facebook and twitter page tomorrow to find out when the livechat is held.

If you follow Esmée you might have noticed she and producer Jester are tweeting a bit back and forward after their first meeting in October. Now EsmeeUK pointed one of the tweets and it looks like they are possible working together.

Esmée wrote: “December is almost here see you really soon” and Jester/Patrick Jordan-Patrikios wrote back “look 4ward to work miss“, so we assume they will work together this month for Esmée’s upcoming album “Screaming Out Loud” especially since she recently revealed she will be back in the studio to record more songs for the album. Jester worked with Pixie Lott, JLS, Il Divo and the dutch Leonie Meijer.

You can follow Jester @jester_music. Esmée already confirmed she worked with Ben Cullum, K-Gee, Efexx and Flipz R1. We will update the information page for her second album as soon as possible with more current information on “Screaming Out Loud“.

Update: Jester tweeted Esmée saying they will meet next week. So I guess it’s official they will be working together.

Esmée confirmed a few weeks ago that she finished her second studio album “Screaming Out Loud” but yesterday she announced via her facebook page that she is back in the studio to get “a few more songs” for her album to make sure she is going to deliver “something awsome“.

Just going into the studio today to get a few more songs on my album. I am telling you this album is the most important thing in my life and i gotta make sure i deliver something awesome. Nothing but te best for my fans!!

I know we, as fans, want new music as soon as possible but I think it’s a good sign she is back in the studio. It means she is working really hard to get the album absolutely perfect, I really hope we will get the first single early 2012 and the album spring/summer of 2012! We can also expect a new cover soon since she recently announced she will cover “It will rain” by Bruno Mars.

We would also like to thank Esmée, because she recently gave us two (!!) shout outs via her official twitter to wish me a happy birthday and to thank us for the the fansite. She said the “website esmeefans.org means the world to me!” and she checks our fansite every day.

It means so much to me to get the positive support of Esmée (and her team/family) since the day I started this site (which is over 4 years ago)! I still support Esmée and her career and I really hope this site will go on for many more years. She is truly one of the nicest, most down to earth and talented artist out there. She proves dreams can come true and hard work will bring you a long way!

Esmée announced the next cover she is going to do on her facebook page yesterday. She will cover “It will Rain” by Bruno Mars and we assume she is already rehearsing/recording the cover since she also mentioned she was in the studio.

Next song I am covering is Bruno Mars “It will rain” Like this post if you want to hear it.

We are so excited she is going to cover a Bruno Mars song and “It Will Rain” is one of our favorites. Keep an eye on Esmée’s facebook and twitter because we are pretty sure she will upload the cover and update the link next week! And also keep an eye on our site, because we will be the first to update you with the new cover.

You can listen to the original song, performed by Bruno Mars below:
