When I first heard the CD I thought that it was a new release from Saraya who had a minor hit in the early 90's with "Love Has Taken Its Toll," but it turned out that it was a Dutch singer named Anouk. She has a powerful, bluesy and melodic voice that doesn't get stale when listening to this updated version of 90's bar rock/metal. The songs are well crafted, and the production is similarly very good, which makes the CD an absolute pleasure to listen to. The CD is already three years old, but it still sounds fresh, honest, and true to its influences. Make no mistake, this CD doesn't really tread new ground, but it does what it does very well.

The woman can sing, and she isn't afraid to tell you how it really is. Anouk is just oozing with talent, whether is it screaming or serenading with a ballad. "Together Alone" is one of her best CDs, and if you like it, you definitely need her "Urban Solitude" CD. One of the best musicians to ever come out of the Netherlands (in my opinion), and a Dutch rock goddess. Also check out K's Choice if you like Anouk. You won't be disappointed.

I really do like this music, because it's strong, powerfull. It unloads so much emotions. Sometimes rough, like 'Nobodies Wife', sometimes sensitive, like 'Sacrifice' and you can even feel the blues... Listen to the samples, and read this reviews, and you might be suprised by the quality of this woman's music. And let me tell you something: Live she performs even better...

And don't forget to check out her latest album: 'Urban Solitude'. Fantastic too!

This is really a great cd. Anouk has a wonderful voice. But if you liked this cd, you should check out her second cd: Urban Solitude. It's just as good, or maybe even a little better. Especially track nine is great. It's a duet with Dinand Woesthoff. He's the leadsinger of the Dutch band Kane. Which is an absolutely amazing rockband. They are really unbelievable. Check them out online. You can also visit their unofficial site.

I used to play this album a lot, but now there is the new album Urban Solitude. I think this album is much better, so I don't play the first album very often anymore. Y'all should get her new album. Her latest single R U kidding me is on it. I like the song with the other dutch band Kane the most. I'm going to a concert of Anouk in April. Can't Wait!
