I really admire Anouk and I love each and every album she has released, but I think she made a real difference with this one, not only about her own music but about the way it was released and the audiovisual content that accompanied the album. Speaking concretely about the music, this album is 100% conceptual: each song is linked to one another with ambient sounds and all of the songs are sad and melancholic, even mysterious some of them. She is telling us a story about the search for light and happiness, so the tracks go from dark to brighter as they advance until we get to the final song and its epic ending. Everything is very connected, both music and lyrics, and Anouk’s voice sounds amazingly beautiful and full of emotion in every note. She’s proved that she’s great at singing ballads, aside from the rock and roll that she gets us used to. As I said at the beginning, the videos are amazing too and they deserve a special mention. It’s four music videos all connected in between by stories, characters, symbols… the same actors playing different roles, similarly to the American Horror Story Tv show. For me, everything related to this album can be considered a MASTERPIECE. Best Anouk album ever (and it’s hard to choose) and one of the most original and conceptual ideas ever made in the past years.
Favorite songs: All of them!
