AGUA DE ANNIQUE: Air (ATMOSPHERIC ROCK): review / opinion to read on Music Waves

The king is dead... Long live the king! After his departure from The Gathering a year ago, the singer Anneke Van Giersbergen, endowed with a sweet and enchanting voice, has decided to launch a solo career and create his own band: Agua de Annique.

It is with pleasure that we let ourselves be carried away in an atmospheric Rock where melancholy comes to interfere in our minds and where sensuality becomes the guiding thread of an unforgettable adventure. Get ready to feel a lot of good vibrations due in large part to the warm voice of Anneke Van Giersbergen. The tone always right, knowing perfectly how to give depth to her words, the beautiful singer takes the listener into a surreal dimension similar to a sweet dream ...

The atmospheres of the titles are meant to be inspiring and always accompanied by an omnipresent bass, giving more strength to these dark and sometimes heavy atmospheres that prevail. The guitar, by simple but very effective arrangements, wants to be the most emotional as possible. The piano is also very well used for the benefit of this unique musical atmosphere. The performance is therefore absolutely perfect, ideal to take the listener on a wonderful journey from which he will not come out untouched, making him discover an unknown facet of the musical art.

Each track would have deserved to be described in detail, like "Witnesses" whose bass and echo effects on the voice are devastating, "Trail of Grief" and its staggering rise in power, or "Come Wander with Me" whose sweetness and purity have few equivalents... But it is a useless exercise as each track of this musical marvel must be discovered and savored selfishly.

As an illustration of the limitless talent of the incredible Anneke Van Giersbergen, "Air" is a must-have album and obviously recommended for any fan of atmospheric music. - Official website
