Gentle Storm, The diary

Being a huge fangirl of Arjen and of Anneke and being delighted by their live show I attended a few weeks ago, you can imagine how excited I was about their new project, Gentle Storm. The diary is a beautiful spread of forces, with emotion and complexity, wonderful vocals and a captivating story, as Arjen always manages to create, but as amazing as certain parts are, there are other moments where the album falls a bit short (sometimes in surprising areas).

I'm so happy, I finally got to see Arjen last night. It's the first time I actually feel a lump in my stomach when an artist comes out on stage, I'm always excited to see my favourite bands, but when Arjen got up on stage, it was an indescribable feeling and I realised how immense is my respect for this man. Anneke stole the show with her amazing, amazing voice and her sweetness, but I cannot forget that it's Arjen that created the incredible music.
