Anouk - Paradise And Back Again (2014)

Most records bear a story. Made with a certain vibe, in a special location, or at a crucial time in which the artist is living. The story of Dutch Rock singer Anouk's new album 'Paradise And Back Again' is quite the opposite; there is no theme or concept to this album. It's just as colourful and breathtakingly beautiful as the cover artwork (painted by artist Esther Barend). 'Paradise And Back Again' is a collection of rock solid songs. A trip through all styles the singer loves. Or, as she says herself: 'It's a mess, really'. Typically Anouk: first, sing a bunch of songs with all her heart and soul, only to make fun of it moments later. She explains: 'We live in a time where everything is OK, anything goes. Everybody listens to so many different musical styles at the same time, something I do too. So why stick to one style, when you master multiple?'
