‘Bittersweet’ would be a good word to describe the lushly produced synth pop of Eefje de Visser. As it happens, that is the title of the more than excellent fourth album of the Dutch singer-songwriter. Never before has her music sounded this full of longing, yet firmly rooted in the present, confronted with an era that is equal measures fear and hope. The album has been heralded as Album of the Year by several leading Dutch music media.
