Kirsten biography "It’s a wrap! And the whole process has been a liberating experience. From day one, the day that I started writing material for the new album I felt totally free to do whatever I wanted to." Dutch singer-songwriter KIRSTEN will release her new album on Idol Media. It’s due in October and will be called VANILLA. Less than two years after her very successful debut: THE CHICK SINGER. A debut that generated lots of publicity for the now 27-year-old, a prestigious Dutch ESSENT AWARD and support shows for Ani DiFranco, Sheryl Crow, Beth Hart, Jewel and Venice. It took her and her touring band to some of the biggest Dutch festivals. (Lowlands, Parkpop and Bevrijdingspop Haarlem.) After a nationwide club tour things quieted down. Or well… so it seemed. The truth is that KIRSTEN has been working very hard indeed. The release of VANILLA will be the proof of that. And also that the hard work paid off. As it’s been said before KIRSTEN, in spite of her enchanting appearance, is not an act put together on the drawing board of some marketing strategist. No team of slick songwriters, overpaid production managers and plastic surgeons for her. She’s her own woman in full control of her art. It goes for every self-respecting artist, and it goes for KIRSTEN too: the second album will be looked upon as the litmus test of her artistic credibility. Her audience will expect an album that excels the much beloved first one. And yet this outside pressure won’t be the main reason
