In 2020, Froukje is only 18 when she releases the song Groter Dan Ik, making it to new Dutch pop promise. Between then and the release of her debut Noodzakelijk Verdriet she wins several awards, such as an Edison and several 3FM Awards. That Froukje is an expert at writing catchy pop songs is more than evident on this debut. Earworms in the vein of Ik Wil Dansen are present, but sensitive songs
… about themes such as sadness and love also find a place on this versatile album. Froukjes lyrics are alternately direct, engaging, vulnerable and catchy due to her honest and light-hearted way of writing. She knows how to make even the heavier subjects tangible in an intriguing way. The production is a sultry combination of pop and electronica, but it's mainly the disarming undertone of her music that makes this debut album so incredibly beautiful." (JvQ)more
