Every Dutch person knows a song by Rondé. The Dutch band played at all major festivals and can be heard on radio and TV regularly. The five got to know each other at the Herman Brood Academy in Zwolle. Single Run (2015) became a huge hit and appeared as a remix in a beer commercial. After that, Rondé further expanded the success formula. Their songs often have the same mix of simple, effective
… elements: compelling bass drum, good melodic line and light guitars and keys. More bands master that trick and luckily Rondé has a secret weapon with singer Rikkie Borgelt. Her voice has a special edge, without being really special. Perfect for Rondé's defined doll. This also applies to the contribution of Niels Zuiderhoek, producer of their debut. After Kensington, he again gives a Dutch act a commercial and international sound. The band and producer pull out all the stops for this, from trance to indie and r & b. All the different flavors are neatly processed into a uniform whole that few people can resist. (JE)more
