Ester Dean takes on Bonnie Raitt‘s ‘I Can’t Make Me Love You’ in aid of her debut album this week, set for launch next year.
Giving a unique spin to the well loved song, Dean’s cover marks the first cut to be released from her Interscope fronted project, billed ‘Story Never Told’.
Enjoy below…
Elle est super cette fille! une superbe parolière! domage que toute ses meilleures musiques vont à ‘autres artistes! j’espère qu’un jour elle auras la reconaissances qu’elle mérite! en attendants j’écoute ses démos! Au fait j’aimerais bien entendre celle de firework!
You go Ester and i am waiting to see what you will
be cooking up for the next big Hit that will appear
in the hot 100 like what happened with some of
Rihanna’s biggest Hits that you wrote. And being
on Jay’s label the Roc its nothing like a great Party.
One day these Narrowed Minded folk will realize
that behind every great Writer, Producer there’s
always a Bad Ass “HBIC” TO DELIVER them lyrics…
Eater dean>>>>>rihanna’s career Eater dean is rihannas persona and style and everything in between Eater dean made rihanna
of course she made riri totally agree with you on this point
Go and read Esther Dean / the New Yorker.
No. She did not make Rihanna. Esher Dean gave an interview with the new yorker, where she spoke of wanting to be a solo singer. The New yorker also interviewed Stargate ( rih’s producers ) and this what they said of esther dean wanting to be a star. ” Many songwriters cam sing, some are really great, but that does not make you a star. I have to be able to want to watch you’ etc. I agree with Stargate, there is not an ounce of star quality in Esther dean. So, no, she did not F****** make Rihanna.
IDIOT SHE MADE THIS GIRL BECAUSE WITHOUT THE HIT SONGS RIHANNA WOULD BE NOTHING AND BY THE WAY RIHANNA DOESNT HAVE STAR QUALITY SHE DOESNT HAVE THE X FACTOR EVEN WHEN SHE PERFORMS LIVE ITS GARBAGE SHE DOESNT HAVE THE CLASS AND IAM NOT HATING CAUSE I LITEN TO THE MUSIC SHE MAKES WITH SONGWRITERS.
GIVE THOSE HIT SONGS TO A REAL SINGER WHO SING DANCE ENTERTAIN AND LET SEE THE RESULT SO NOPE SHE HAS ONE THING A BEAUTIFUL COMPUTERIZED STUDIO VOICE ITS PERFECT AND FOR THE REST NOTHING SHES SO BORING ON STAGE AND IN VIDEOS SO PLIZ THERES NO DEBATE ON THAT
Wow she sounds like how rihanna would sound if she had any vocal ability.
And she also sounds like Rihanna, if Rihanna did not have the xfactor. If Rihanna was not born with star quality – this all she would be. Of course she is better looking, but she would not be the black madonna.
Yeah yall seriously boosting her up out of yall hate for rihanna, cause she sound computerized, auto-tuned, and dry . . . Sounds like a nice song but please with the vocal ability comments, i can’t
OH SHUT UP nobody is hating on rihanna knock it off did you even listen to the song? Dry?computerized, auto-tuned? every and anything that rihanna has ever put out since 2007 so sit your ass down somewhere and get over it i swear you stans stay pressed about the smallest and the silliest things
It’s sounds like you’re the one whose pressed. sit yo ass doown.
THEY ARE SO F****** PATHETIC, HATERS GONNA HATE. THEY ALL BROKE ANYWAY SO.
B**** kiss my ass you f****** s*** f** your pressed ok otherwise you wouldn’t be feeling some type of way about my comment you f****** s*** head now go sit on the floor and read your coloring book h**
butter my ass and eat b****!
Ester Dean is a great songwriter.
As far as the haters concern, don’t forget she wrote Countdown for Bey…
But I’m assuming you all would Believe Beyonce wrote that since her name is on the credits, right?
Kiiii
No hate to Ester, but there are some songs you just shouldn’t mess with and this is one of them. Everyone eo has covered it like Tank, Bon Iver, Adele, Kelis etc. has stayed true the emotion of the Bonnie Raitt classic, but this has destroyed it. Really disappointed.
ok ester dean! make sure you make a hood joint real soon for the club bangers! Drop it Drop it looooooow!!!
THAT PHOTO ! i almost died.literally
This is dreadful! I don’t care how good Ester is singing her own songs, when singing someone elses it has to match your tone and this doesn’t and the dance beat just adds to the horror.
Check out George Michaels for a better cover
Interesting spin on the song. Not my cup of tea. She gave her sound to Rihanna, and I don’t see her becoming a star because A.) She doesn’t have s** appeal B.) her sound is already out there, and the girl associated with it has already moved on from it.
Her voice is terrible, Rihanna’s voice fits the songs better.
I LOVEE ME SOME ESTHER DEAN BUT YA MUTHAFUCKAS UP HERE ALREADY KNOW WHEN HER ALBUM DROPS YA ARE NOT BUYING IT SO CUT THE B******* I LOVE HER STYLE AND I LOVE HOW HER AND RIHANNA WORK TOGETHER SHE DIDNT MAKE RIHANAS CAREER BECAUSE LAST TIME I CHECKED ITS RIHANNA ON THE TOURS ON THE ALBUMS ON THE TV SCREEN AND YA CAN SAY OHH WELL ESTHER WROTE THESE SONGS OK RIHANNA WAS A HIT BEFORE RUDE BOY LETS NOT FORGET UMBRELLA OK I LOVE ME SOME ESTHER BUT DONT LOVE HER JUST TO HATE RIHANNA BECAUSE THAT THEN MEANS SHE AINT GOT FANS RIHANNA JUST HAS HATERS LOL LEARN TO LET THAT HATE IN YOUR HEART GO AND SPREAD POSITIVITY
She’s written too much for Rihanna so that’s catchy who she sounds like. But the song is good.
Plzz give Tank back his song.
