Eva van Manen is a singer, songwriter, producer and theatre composer with a broad musical palate – from hip hop to theatre music and jazz – and a knack for making the not so obvious obvious and vice versa. Her talent for seamlessly bridging diverse styles is married to a deep devotion to confrontation with the tougher choices in life. This is the principle of her debut album Politiek & Liefde (Politics & Love). Van Manen is also making her mark as producer with minimalistic beats, meticulous melody layers, samples and field sounds.
