What once started as a BZN tribute band has now grown into a stand-alone act. The Volendam six-piece Mon Amour has also released their own work since 2009. Sing Me A Song is the third album with self-written work, but completely in the style of BZN. Due to the difficult economy, the album was produced entirely in-house, which ensured that almost all band members contributed to the lyrics. Sing Me
… A Song has become a very sweet record on which not only influences from BZN, but also a touch of country mixed with French chansons can be heard. In addition, ABBA seems to have been a source of inspiration. Especially the song I'm Nothing Without You is very similar to SOS. The typical moment of 'Hey I know this from somewhere' can also come back to other songs, but that is also the power of Sing Me A Song. The texts are uncomplicated and recognizable. That means that almost all songs can be sung from the second verse. And that is exactly what once made BZN so great. Mon Amour can be satisfied. (BvdV)more
