Plenty of recording artists desire crossover success, but few are audacious enough to try what Ester Dean‘s undertaken on her latest promo cut: to take a beloved record of a very different era and genre and translate it into her own musical idiom. The Interscope recording artist’s version of I Can’t Make You Love Me could hardly be more different from country singer Bonnie Raitt’s 1991 rendition. Whereas the original was a sparse, slightly syrupy piano-driven ballad, Dean’s re-imagining is a full-bore dancefloor scorcher, with the singer belting the record’s heart-wrenching lyrics over an explosive, four-on-the-floor beat by DJ Mamia. Was the transformation a success? As always, Booth readers get to lay down the final verdict. Those feeling it, of course, can keep it locked to our pages for all the latest from the rising pop starlet.

DJ Z DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 11674	Rating: DJ Z's Top Rated Songs Ester has a mainstream vocal, but her real talent is as a songwriter. Here, neither are on display in particularly impressive fashion - the song was written by someone else and the vocal is hidden behind loud, club-ready production. Follow @DJBooth

JKL11293 Tastemaker Total Ratings: 877	Rating: JKL11293's Top Rated Songs Not really a fan of these types of songs. Will do well in the club but not really for me. Ester definitely has nice vocals though.

Karan Gupte DJ Booth Member Total Ratings: 8863	Rating: Karan Gupte's Top Rated Songs I'm kind of surprised she is doing a? cover song for her first single when she is such a good songwriter but it's still hot.
