For me, an indicator of the level of musicians and singers has always been concert recordings, how different they were from studio albums. Annekе has excellent vocals, regardless of the conditions, fatigue, day or night. She is an exceptional professional, possessing a unique, delicate timbre and simply excellent command of her voice, a level inaccessible to 99 percent of vocalists. It is unlikely that now you can find something even remotely reminiscent of her abilities; for me she was and remains an icon of an incredible combination of perfect vocals, the highest professionalism and purely feminine beauty. An absolutely luminous creation, bright, enthusiastic and kind, incredibly attractive and beautiful.
IMO Everything Anneke’s done from The Gathering, working with Devin Townsend, to her solo music, is just incredible. She’s like a modern day Siren minus the wrecks!
"minus the wrecks"? Without the wrecks there is no siren. When there is attraction and fascination and temptation, there is always a measure of danger. Such is the song of the siren! How that applies to our sweet and lovely Annie, only she will know..... ;-)
I followed her shortly after hearing those ball-busting vocals with DT, that's what put her on my map initially, and have just been routinely blown away since. Goddamn is she talented.
I freaking love the little dances she does! It's like she almost can't stop it! It elevates my (already high) level of enjoyment even higher! She is perfection. ....and how does she keep getting more and more attractive?!?
O my God!!!! Hearing this for the first time. After 5 seconds all my hairs standing straight up ( although I don't have so many anymore 😂). Goosebumps! The overall sound quality, the band, the melody, the emotion, and last but not least, the warmth radiating from gorgeous Anneke with that infectious smile and fantastic voice. Let's face it. We all get older. The point is: how to get older in a gracious way and keep on growing. Anneke is in my eyes the prime example of how to do that. She gets more beautiful by the years and her voice and music......mindblowing. When she was young they called her "Tinkerbel". And she was. Nowadays she is the Mother of all metal singers. And that, for sure, is a title to be proud of as well. Anneke, you have my deepest respect. Your singing adds years to my lifetime expectation....it adds so much joyfullness. The most amazing about you: you remain yourself. Humble, humorous, not afraid to make a joke about yourself in front of public. Coming from the music industry myself I recognize greatness in that. Only the biggest artists of them all are like that. They don't have to proof anything anymore. They reached the top level and don't have to pretent. They are good as they are. Welcome to the highest possible platform. A warm greeting from the Netherlands.
Annie, my dad just passed away and the title from your new album fits me perfect. Wish you the best with this new son and please, never stop making music because you are the only one who can gives me peace after all the sadness. Love you forever and ever from Mexico.
The ability to make prog without electric guitars, snare and solos, rather trumpet and acoustic guitars! Only a genius like her would do that! Much respect!! 🤘🏼👏🏻🤘🏼👏🏻🤘🏼🤘🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@MrScrofulous good song, I dind't know that band, I found it very interesting. Yet is the opposite of what I posted. In your link the first thing that opens the song is an electric guitar followed by full drums and then leading to a full band chorus with, that's right... ELECTRIC distorted guitars with a lead guitar playing a constand phrase... then comes the MUSE /like slightly overdriven bass line (BTW very badass bass line) along with the trumpet arrangement and more electric guitars and full intense drums... My point is that, your song is very badass but I'm amazed Anneke pull all that out (the emotion and power) without a single distorted "INYOURFACE GUITAR" (actually there's a little electric guitar there at 2:40 but that's all) and that my friend, THAT IS AWESOME!! PD: Thanks for your recommendation, I'm definitely gonna check that band out.
@@justsupersteve Yeah, it's not until the outré that the trumpets come in. It has a very Spanish feel to me, that part. I really like TBE. That whole album is magic. Sadly, Clint Boge, the singer, destroyed his voice, and they ended up breaking up.
If I had to choose only one singer to listen till end of my life I choose her. So different music she made, but always just perfect. I am her fan for 20 years now. God bless you Anneke ❤️
Absolutely stunning musicianship. Love listening to her, shes like the girl with the 1000 voices... I mean she's all over the place (like Floor), from soft and sweet to disarming. Straight ahead rock to operatic. She does have a signature though, but more than that, just consistent quality. Really, what a musical marvel.
How wonderful to hear new music from you again! Still the same distinctive voice, this great charisma and you get more beautiful from year to year. I hope to see you on stage somewhere again soon. 🥰
I was fortunate to see her performing with The Gathering at the Key Club in Los Angeles several years ago. It was general admission, so I made my way to the front row, right below her. Her voice, the way she smiled while singing, everything was pure magic. The band was great, but I really couldn't stop watching HER performance. It was mesmerizing. There, I found the word I was looking for.
Mesmerizing for sure. I saw Anneke in 2019 when she toured the US with Amorphis. My wife and I were right up front, and Anneke just radiates on stage. Fantastic acoustic gig and she sang Amongst Star with Amorphis.
Met her on the Hottest Women in Metal tour (2007) in Pennsylvania and she was the absolute sweetest! Awesome show that night in an old church turned music hall! ❤
Perfection. I just discovered Anneke through this video and then researched about The Gathering... what a great band now and then! Waiting to see Anneke live in Madrid someday.
You have a world of discovery ahead of you. Might I suggest Sleepy Buildings, a gorgeous live semi-acoustic album. Of course there's 21 others (I just read she's done 23 with the new one).
I am convinced that she is the platonic love of more than one here (myself included). That voice is beautiful
She was born one day after me. I am totally into her :)
High Priestess Of A New Era of Healing The World
Отличный коментарий
She always smiles, and i love her for that, she seems like she loves what she's doing, and we all love it too. So glad i discovered Anneke
I'm so glad too!
Found a demo of Anneke in 1993 and 1994 ruclips.net/video/iUulwOLfoJM/видео.html
That’s her vocal technique working 😉
And when she's singing in a live show, she always look at the eyes of her audience and smile. She's amazing
Check Aqua de Anniqe Pure Air Album, its awesome! Love

What that person said.
Superb! Thanks Floor for the suggestion.

I wonder....who is the girl from your profile picture? She is incredible. And maybe some kind of angel;)
:)
@@Takealookatmychannelhere you’re too kind, it’s just a picture of my face.. lol! but thank you for making me blush.

Wrecking me 🤪

This is so great that a real hurricane wouldn't destroy this much.
She can realy sing everything, pop, rock, metal, classical. No wonder she inspired Floor to be a metal singer....
Anneke is always there...
Your smile does it all
I freaking love the little dances she does!
It's like she almost can't stop it!
It elevates my (already high) level of enjoyment even higher!

The trumpets makes me remember the Agua de Annique's songs. Love them so much
Indeed
my fealing as well hope the whole album goes on that direction
My thoughts exactly! This song would fit perfectly on Air
Loved her from Ayreon!!, Her voice is like butter.
beautifull song, easy add to playlist - we crave to bless not to curse: Amen
Her talent is limitless 🤘🏻😊🤘🏻
Anneke never lets down, this song's amazing! ❤
Damn. She's so beautiful she makes me wanna cry. That voice!!!!
How wonderful that artists like Anneke continue to give us such precious art. Thank you, a huge hug from Argentina.
i read "pretencious art", i was ready to fight xD
Как же прекрасна эта Богиня!!!

A prayer for you, my friend. You are known, and loved.

So looking forward to seeing Anneke in London in 2022 . Together with Heather Findlay it's going to be an amazing night.
Simple ..... The BEST!!!!
one big like for my teenage years.you know,with the Gathering.still awesome artist and woman
It's giving me ''Air'' and ''Home'' vibes. I'm really loving this upcoming album
I discovered her through Devin Townsend ... great woman, great singer and practically lives next door to me ...
Discovered her ! You are so late, she is best female vocalist in the history of entire metal genres
However dark one's mood might be, Anneke always lifts it
she is so grounded. whatever genre she changes to - the songs are haunting. what an incredibly beautiful soul. intoxicating.
Poland loves You Anneke!
*I’m convinced that she’s a Goddess!*
There is no doubt of that. You can see it. Great lyrics and video to accompany them 💓
Couldn't agreed more
I have always called her an angel. Just something about her.
Her voice is fantastic and she has such a Mary Tyler Moore like smile. A smile that lights up a room.
Indeed!
thank you above the sky
Trumpet was a nice touch, awesome
That smile is always on her lips. That song got me goosebumps. That vocie is one of the most wonderful things i know!
20 years late to the party. I have a lot of catching up to do. Anneke is amazing.
Check out her "Symphonized" album for a good sample of her songs live with an orchestra
The ability to make prog without electric guitars, snare and solos, rather trumpet and acoustic guitars!
Only a genius like her would do that! Much respect!! 🤘🏼👏🏻🤘🏼👏🏻🤘🏼🤘🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
cough.....ruclips.net/video/MIO_kvBqYus/видео.html. Not to take anything from Anneke.

Everything about this was breathtaking.
loved the trumpet and her smile
Namaste to the Queen
Anneke voice is one of those things you can always be certain of
Beautiful song Beautiful Voice Beautiful Smile,
Her music evolves in a great way! Her solo albums were mostly pop-rock sounding but this record is going to be a progressive-acoustic album. So hyped!
that effect is amazing! she sounds magical!
I admire her a lot
I am soooo in love with this!!
Loved the trumpet solo and annie is as always fantastic.that smile....
Always angelic
Anneke is such a powerhouse! She really is a role model for all the woman out there :)
Her energy is so contagious!
This is the new level of music. No species determination and no drawer. Pure art. Great art.
Just unbelievable
So good.
If I had to choose only one singer to listen till end of my life I choose her. So different music she made, but always just perfect. I am her fan for 20 years now. God bless you Anneke ❤️
Fabulous....most unusual sound......love it, and Anneke of course......what's not to love.....Love from England xxx
Absolutely stunning musicianship. Love listening to her, shes like the girl with the 1000 voices... I mean she's all over the place (like Floor), from soft and sweet to disarming. Straight ahead rock to operatic.

Never disappointed with Anneke!!!! ❤

Awesome!!!
A new song to blow me away, after 2020 emptiness!
Excellent voice and song as ever. My favourite singer since The Gathering´s "Mandylion" album.
Holy Molly, if angels only existed, they'd sound like Anneke's singing
Anneke so ein wunderschönes Lied verdient Airplay im Radio! Immer wieder verliebe Ich mich in deine Musik!

Dziżas jakie to jest nieoczywiste,zaskakujące i świeże.Cala konstrukcja zaskakuje. wystarczy poczekać do 01:45. Kocham
Such a lovely singer ❤️
I'm obsessed with the "OHohOHohOHooooh" .
Perfect.
Love the percussion 🤘!
Very nice song. I love how well the trumpet fits in to close it out.
After this past year and losing my dad too young to covid, this is 100% needed! 😍🥰😍🥰
10 sec and i already love this song Anneke is so great OMG.
WTF IS THIS MASTERPIECE!! Amazing how unique this song sounds, I love the western vibes and the serious tone it has, definitely a surprising twist!
Yeah, I love that country-western vibe!
Time to listen to this gem once more :)

Some of the best vocals ever sung.
I love Anneke ♥
Anneke
Je bent geweldig. Dank je wel x
pure magic!
Wow! Anneke! This is really great! Back on top!
This whole album is a masterpiece. I can just lie down and listen to it, without any distractions. Listen to the voice and the instruments… pure magic
Met her on the Hottest Women in Metal tour (2007) in Pennsylvania and she was the absolute sweetest! Awesome show that night in an old church turned music hall! ❤
Anneke una voz hermosa, recuerdo cuando la escuche en vivo en Chile
En el 2004, la vi en Santiago de Chile...extraordinaria ella...
Both singles have been fantastic so far. Can’t wait for the new album.
I see Anneke..I like.. ..this song is mature, strong...on replay already... imo a hit
Perfection. I just discovered Anneke through this video and then researched about The Gathering... what a great band now and then! Waiting to see Anneke live in Madrid someday.
You have a world of discovery ahead of you. Might I suggest Sleepy Buildings, a gorgeous live semi-acoustic album. Of course there's 21 others (I just read she's done 23 with the new one).
love her. one of my all-time crushes
This is flawless. I'm looking forward to the whole album ✨.
La adoroooooooo desde the gathering , agua de annique etc etc . Te amooooo
