Told from the perspective of someone who ‘Oughta Know’ better, the groove inducing single speaks of a relationship that’s one sided,\u00a0 and draws on the style of 90s RnB queens, Lauryn Hill, and Aailyah.<\/p>\n
Esmae is no newcomer to the music scene, but she first came to the attention of the general listening public when her collection of tracks on SoundCloud rapidly gained more than 500,000 streams. It’s clear that her unique style of music stems from her passion for old-skool RnB pop music, and her smooth as silk vocals have endeared her to her fans, who additionally resonate with her lyrics based on her diverse life experiences.<\/p>\n
‘Oughta Know’ is just the foretaste of what is yet to come for Esmae. You can stream and download the single\u00a0here<\/a>.
