Within a day he was already gold, this third album from Nick & Simon. Songs about 'shooting stars' and a 'heart of gold' never go out of style, it turns out. Nick Schilder and Simon Keizer understand the craft of writing cheerful two-part songs and putting them in the spotlight with a melodious voice. The production of Gordon Groothedde - originally a rock producer - makes the songs just a bit
… heavier than those of other Dutch-speaking artists. Add to that the unconditional support of family channel TROS and the success story of Nick & Simon has been told. Listen is again an unmistakable hit album and the grin on the face of these two Volendammers will only get bigger for the time being. (MS)more
