AGUA DE ANNIQUE - CD IN YOUR ROOM

Popis - IN YOUR ROOM:
The solo career of Anneke van Giersbergen got off to a flying
start. After 13 proud years with The Gathering she also found
her way into the charts by herself with her albums Air and Pure
Air. Both albums received overwhelmingly positive reviews
around the world. For two years Anneke toured with Agua de
Annique throughout The Netherlands and abroad. She was
beginning to prove her self as a very talented songwriter in her
own right. Acoustic treat Pure Air was released earlier this year,
on which Anneke collaborated with a variety of artists, including
Sharon Den Adel (Within Temptation), Dutch Singer songwriter
Marike Jager, Danny Cavanagh (Anathema) and Trumpet player
Colin Benders (Kyteman). In their review for Pure Air, Dutch
renowned magazine HP/De Tijd named Anneke as 'Hollands
most credible pop singer'
Without doubt, another major highlight for Anneke was her
debut as a solo performer. In 2008 she sang with Dutch A‐list
bands Racoon and Bløf under the name; Artists For Tibet. The
song 'Als je ooit nog eens terug kan' (If You Ever Can Go Back
Again) shot straight to #1 in the charts. They also played this
song in 2009 before H.H. the Dalai Lama shared his wisdom to a
sold out Melkweg venue in Amsterdam.
We can also hear Anneke perform in the trailer of Spiderman 3
(2007) in which a song of U.S. band Globus has been used. She
also played a big vocal part on the new album of Canadian
musician Devin Townsend (Strapping Young Lad).
The new album In Your Room will be released October 30.
Anneke predicts that this one will probably be more accessible
than what we are used to hearing from her. She is in a 'lighter'
place in her life right now and that shows through her music, she
states. A little melancholy we will always be able to detect, but
the songs are certainly more direct than before. It's Indiepop
with an edge. With In Your Room Anneke aims for an album that
sounds tight and as a whole. Producer Michel Schoots, former
drummer of Urban Dance Squad, is also known for his
productions on albums of Kane, Ilse de Lange and Racoon.
