Release Notes:
This September 23 Dutch singer-songwriter Anneke van Giersbergen will release
her fifth studio album, Drive via PIAS Recordings Holland and InsideOut Music.
The first single from the record, also titled æDriveÆ is set to land on August
23, accompanied by a music video and followed by a European tour which will
commence in mid-October.
On this follow-up to 2012Æs Everything is Changing, Anneke collaborated with
Dutch songwriter and producer Arno Krabman, enlisting the help of her live band
to lay down the new tracks. In a time when bands are creating entire albums by
transferring files online, Anneke explains that she was keen to do things the
old-fashioned way: ôI really wanted to record an album together with a group of
musicians in a studio.ö Having toured extensively with the same tight-knit group
of musicians, the result is an organic sound that perfectly captures our
chemistry as a band.
Having proven her credentials and immense vocal talent for 13 years as front
woman of The Gathering, in 2007 Anneke felt it was time to begin her own solo
career. Along with her new band Agua de Annique the charismatic singer quickly
established herself as a solo artist, releasing several albums to critical and
popular acclaim.
Anneke also found time to collaborate with some of her long-time friends and
musical peers, lending her honey-sweet, yet powerful voice to the likes of
Anathema (Falling Deeper), the eccentric Devin Townsend (Addicted!, Epicloud)
and fellow Dutchmen Within Temptation (Black Symphony).
2012Æs Everything is Changing was something of a milestone in AnnekeÆs solo
career. The album, which was the first to be released under her own name without
the Agua de Annique moniker, got her nominated for two Edison awards û HollandÆs
most prestigious music prize û in the categories æBest Female ArtistÆ and æBest
AlbumÆ. Not only was it a success in her home country, Everything is Changing
took Anneke all over the world as she toured over 25 different countries
including the UK, Germany, France and throughout Latin America.
The new album shows Anneke to be on top form and more multifaceted than ever,
with songs ranging from her signature intimate ballads to euphoric stadium rock
anthems û and as always, her ethereally beautiful voice is the jewel in the
centre.
