I can’t express how excited I am, but I think it’s safe to say that Esmée is ‘back’. She worked on her upcoming second album “Screaming Out Loud” the last 2 years. She just uploaded the acoustic version of her upcoming, and first single of the album, “City Lights“. Be sure to watch it below.

A recap from tonight’s appearance in the dutch television show “Ik Hou Van Holland” (I Love Holland) is coming tomorrow.

Esmée released the first still of her upcoming “City Lights” music video recently. We added the still in our gallery. It looks promising! Esmée in the dark, with the london city lights in the background. She filmed the music video earlier this year and we hope it will be released soon!

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!

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 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“.

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.
