Suddenly out of nowhere there she’s: Froukje. With her first single at the beginning of 2020, ‘Groter Dan Ik’, she profiles herself as one of the new promises of Dutch alternative pop. The song goes viral on the internet and puts her on the radar of national media such as DWDD and 3voor12.
A second single ‘Ik Wil Dansen’ follows quickly, again a hit that touches on relevant existential themes and is full of intriguing vocal lines, performed with a natural nonchalance but also a sharp-shooting and a professional talent for melody. Both songs accounted for tons of views and more than a million streams each in a short time.
She signs a contract with the record label Top Notch. Her debut EP ‘Licht & Donker’ follows and the proof is clear: Froukje is here to stay. Because believe us, we’ll be hearing a lot more from Froukje in 2021. As a twinkling star and dot on the horizon she will be with us in PAARD on November 19!
Froukje Veenstra, the 19-year-old from Rotterdam is young, but has something to say. And even if you don’t want to hear it, Froukje has a chance to win you over with her catchy pop songs. Words are a way of getting what’s in your head out into the world, and this is exactly what Froukje does. Put these words on danceable beats and compelling melodies, and you get what could be a Froukje hit.
“ "Happy new year / de wereld staat in de fik / en ik zou het willen blussen, maar het vuur is groter dan ik” “
– Groter Dan Ik, Froukje.
