With her larger than life vocals and
her fearless, straight up attitude, Dutch singerAnouk has a talent
that easily matches the appeal of international superstars. She's a
powerhouse performer who delivers her music with a raw, bareknuckle
intensity and wild gusto that truly puts her in a league of her own
in The Netherlands, a country that is not known for delivering vocal
talent with such global allure.
Anouk is a true original who carved out a unique niche of her own
while balancing her artistic instincts, creative urges and her
personal priorities that matter more than anything else. The
question often arises why Anouk's superstar success has mostly been
limited to The Netherlands and Belgium. The truth is that Anouk had
the opportunity to be launched in North America in a big way that
easily could have been a platform for worldwide success. But Anouk opted
out and decided to do things differently. Like a true Dutch
pragmatist, the singer handles her career much like her music - if
it takes too much compromise, it is not worth pursuing. So say what
you want about Anouk, but she won't sell out to achieve success and
respectably always remained true to herself. The singer burst onto
the scene when she unveiled her utterly brilliant single "Nobody's
Wife" in the mid-nineties that set the tone for bigger things to
come. After releasing eleven albums and receiving non-stop critical
acclaim from fans, peers and critics, the singer has decided to take
some time off for a lengthy sabbatical. According to a report from
3FM, Anouk will head to New York City to recharge her creative mojo
and focus on her family. Last week Thursday and on Sunday, she performed
two sold out shows at Holland's Gelredome to say goodbye to fans for
now. It was a unique affair with Anouk performing her hits in
chronological order on four different stages together with all the
different bands that she has worked with over the years. From the
soaring "Nobody's Wife" to the delicate "Lost," and from stomping "Girl"
to the rocking "Good God," Anouk delivered a rousing, triumphant
performance that took over 75,000 fans through her robust portfolio
of songs that reminded everyone in the audience over and over again
why Anouk is one of a kind. |
