During some of our gigs here in the Netherlands some people from the audience asked us "Why don't you come up with a Dutch show?".
So far we only performed in English.
And now we're building up a repertoire.
Here's one of the songs.
We embedded the English subtitles for your convenience :-)
It's sort of a sing along.

BIAB created a fine sax solo, we think!

ZINGEN met JOU

Hope you like it.
Comments are welcome.

Impressive ... I can't even speak one language well, and here you are writing, singing, recording, producing in two! Thanks for adding the English words so I could understand. Fun song.

The vocals were perfect, as was the mix

Rob & Anne-Marie,
You captured the upbeat singalong feel with the lyrics, music and performance very well.
A good video & a fun idea for your shows- maybe we`ll see a recording of one here in future?

haha. Great opening with the cat "playing" the piano. The whole video is great. Thanks for adding the English, but, man, I wish I knew the language so I could watch and not read. Well, listening a couple times is very enjoyable. What a wonderfully fun song and clever video. Anne-Marie, your vocal is always so good and engaging. Great band and mix is crystal clear. I love the sound of Dutch.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Your harmonies are divine.

“I’ll let music cheer me up.” Yes, indeed! This song certainly does cheer us both.

Great vocals and the band (excellent sax solo) and mix supported the song very well.

We enjoyed the video too, especially the dog and cat actors!

Hi Anne-Marie and Rob,

You made a very funny video for a very beautiful, typical Dutch song. You sing it very clearly with smooth harmonies.
It left a big smile on my face, after the song ended. Of course not because of the cats and dogs, only because of the song!
Was it you doing this all by yourself Anne-Marie? Haven't read about Rob.

Your singing in Dutch is very pleasant, so there you have your road to a lot more succes!
By coincidence I also wrote a Dutch song again. I think we posted it at the same time on this forum. Very funny.

In Dutch: Goed en prettig gedaan, mevrouw!
