When Anneke van Giersbergen started her solo career back in 2007, she had already been the frontwoman of Dutch metal pioneers The Gathering for 13 years. Together with her band Agua de Annique she released several outstanding albums to both critical and popular acclaim in a short period of time which immediately put her in the picture as a solo artist. She was also involved in several interesting co-operations with the likes of Within Temptation ("Black Symphony" 2008), eccentric multi-talent Devin Townsend ("Addicted" 2009) and long-time friends Anathema ("Falling Deeper" 2011). Over the last few years, Anneke van Giersbergen has been exploring her musical boundaries to the fullest. In 2008, together with Dutch A-list bands Racoon and Bløf, she recorded a song in her native language: "Als je ooit nog eens terug kan", which shot straight to #1 on the Dutch charts. Recently she captured the eyes and hearts of a huge audience through her version of U2's "All I want is You" at the popular daily Dutch prime-time television show "De Wereld Draait Door". People were talking about it for days afterwards. For four years, Anneke van Giersbergen has been touring successfully as a solo artist, both in her home country and across the globe. She has performed from Chile to Lebanon & from Mexico to Finland, as well as support for The Smashing Pumpkins and a special presentation in front of H.H. the Dalai Lama. Her new album, "Everything Is Changing", not only reveals new strengths in her recognizable style, but really kicks it up a notch when it comes to taking Anneke's talents to a higher level, both lyrically and vocally. Have a listen, and everything might change.
