Esmée Denters released the cover art and music video for her second single “Admit It,” and while it’s no “Outta Here,” the track still has a good beat for all your workout needs. In the vid, Es dances around with her two gals pals on either side of her—unfortunately, in a much more generic fashion than “Single Ladies”—while a semi-cute dude desperately searches around an empty house for her. Deep. (Sorry, it’s been difficult to judge regular, generic pop music videos fairly since so many recent ones have managed to scare the crap out of me.)

Two years ago, the Dutch singer Esmée Denters was a YouTube phenomenon who got snapped up by Justin Timberlake’s label, thanks presumably to her covering “What Goes Around… Comes Around” in full-on Webcam confessional mode. Well, since then Timberlake’s been trying to get her name out there, first putting her singing up for charity, then taking her around the country on showcases where she flaunts her new single “Outta Here.” I actually became acquainted with this song at the gym, where it was one of the many semi-anonymous dance tracks blaring on the TVs that weren’t tuned to (sigh) the YES Network, mixed in with endless plays of all those failed Pussycat Dolls singles and “Single Ladies.” “Outta Here” is not groundbreaking by any stretch—it’s pretty much perfectly paired to being played while people sweat out calories and hangovers—but it’s pretty punchy, and her growly tendencies make the track even better.
