A naked red-haired woman with a red velvet dress in her hand, Beatrice van der Poel literally and figuratively exposes herself on the special album Slowly Los. This talented and versatile singer graduated from the Rietveld Academy, was in the bands Fish Hospital and Beeswamp, acted with Orkater and played as Miss Bee with The Lotusclub at the North Sea Jazz Festival. As a member of Corrie & De
… Grote Breken, Van Der Poel dived into the Dutch-language repertoire for the first time. During her performances at the Parade with Bob Fosko and Maarten van Roozendaal, she made a big impression with her Dutch-language performances. Supported by Maarten van Roozendaal she wrote more lyrics, enough to fill an album with Dutch-language pop, blues and soul: a duet with van Roozendaal, own compositions supplemented with two covers (by Allen Toussaint and Jimi Hendrix). Guitarist and producer Wouter Planteisjes brought in accompanying musicians from Sjako !, De Dijk, Urban Dance Squad, Kane and the Zapp String Quartet. Beautiful arrangements, beautiful cryptic lyrics, powerful vocals. Impressive! (SvdP)more
