YouTube favorite AnaFree is back with a new video! This Portugal songstress had her videos pulled (for some mysterious reason) a couple months ago, but that's old news. They're all back - with interest.
Ana was born in Cascais, Portugal, raised in Lisbon, but filmed her video in Canterbury. Our guess? This girl gets around, and it looks like she's done a few gigs, no less. And don't forget to wish her Happy Birthday - her twentieth birthday's on Friday!
Anyhoo, her most recent song is entitled, "Nothing to Fear," unquestionably one of her best. So check it...
English is a beautiful language, make no mistake about that... but it pales terribly in comparison with the linguistic beauty of l'francais, and this song is hard evidence of that. Malheureusement, however, very little is known about the band itself, but we do know that Solaris' hometown is Paris, France (what a surprise) they've been touring France (really, now), and they just released a brand new album last Avril - that's April, to the non-French speaking demographic. The surprises never end.
Even though they're pretty tight-lipped about the bandmembers' identities, here's what a few digs around the 'net produced: Solaris is: JB (vocals and guitar), Lionel (bass), Mathieu (guitar solo), Aurelien (keyboard)
Their influences include Louise Attacks, Noir Desire, Jacques Brel, M, Serge Gainsbourg, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. According to them, they sound like Louise Attacks, Noir Desire, MUSE, The Beatles, Oasis, and Raphael.
Technically speaking, their music needs no explanation, but in case you can't make out the English from the French subtitles, there's a little translation jobbie below. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the sounds of "The Hope" in acoustic.
The Hope
You know if the life separates us Say that one will be re-examined In one century or randomly For that time does not have a law I will play on my guitar To fly away to you
REFRAIN I will whisper your name With the ear of the winds I know that they will find you Then for a moment I will be there I will be there With you…
VERSE 2 The hope never should be lost It is all that it us remains now Let us keep a place in our reports Through the paddle and laying down it If you hear this guitar I will have come finally
REFRAIN I will have whispered your name In the air and the currents I know that they will find you Then for a moment I will be there I will be there With you…
VERSE 3 One has that to sing this song To put our hearts at unison To renovate a moment just And to remember good old days When you were there When you were there With me…

Well, today we're taking a break from the usual self-written, self-recorded songs to feature Esmee Denters. Maybe you've heard of her already. In fact, it'd be difficult not to if you've been on YouTube at all during the past few weeks. Her "What Goes Around...Comes Around" cover has graced the front page of YouTube for a little while now and boasts over 2.5 million views. Usually we're not interested in covers, as you know, but our curiosity was piqued when we saw the video, so we naturally chequed it out.
At first we thought it was just Esmee singing in a studio... big deal, right? Until we saw Justin himself at the very end. It takes guts to sing Justin's own song right in front of him while he's sitting in the very same studio with you.
Then, we checked out her fan site, www.EsmeeWorld.com, where we found out she's signed a record deal with Justin's new company, Tennman Records. This girl from the Netherlands is really going places. Literally. She's opening for Justin Timberlake during his Europe tour. Not bad for someone who started out posting covers on YouTube. So root for Esmee and check out some of her best cover efforts below.
