Merel Hutten

"She walks into the lounge room and climbs on the stage. She grabs the mike, while the band starts to play. Some may not like it, but others do and after singing a song or two she leaves again. She just realised there's no deeper meaning to her life and it's alright." Wonderbras & Petticoats, 2005 Two weeks after having written these lyrics, Merel Hutten climbed the stage to perform her own songs for the first time. She had been writing music for ages, but was determined not to perform with it until it was exactly the way she wanted it. When she finally started playing her music in public, it was after her third performance that she got offered a complete album recording in exchange for some concerts. The result is "Wonderbras & Petticoats", an album with seven songs written and performed by Merel.FRET magazine writes about "the natural appeal of Merel's music. You don't have to listen twice to appreciate it. She grabs hold of you with the first few notes, or maybe even before that with the self-conscious, but charming way in which she takes a seat behind the piano and announces her songs. [...] Merel's voice is crystal clear, the way she plays the piano is exemplary pleasantly varied and, on top of that, her lyrics are excellent. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner." ------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------------------------------I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
