Immerse yourself in the world of Sanne Sanne. Dutch jazz has gained another colorful character: singer Sanne Huijbregts writes wholesome music wrapped in sparkling textures, rich vocal harmonies and seductive grooves. Her quartet Sanne Sanne connects the sensual sound of indie-folk with the fresh twists and turns of contemporary jazz.
Sanne Huijbregts has always been passionate about contributing to the current musical landscape. As a small red-headed child, she could already be heard filling the Dutch cycling paths and European mountain hiking trails with her flawless singing voice. During these holidays she couldn’t wait to come back home and sit behind the piano to write music. At home, Joni Mitchell was interspersed with Yann Tiersen and The Beatles, and thanks to her seasoned nomadic parents, her young creative mind was nurtured with the space, silence, solitude and freedom she found in nature.
This unique combination of influences turned out to be the perfect breeding ground for Sanne Sanne. After a multi-year search for her own sound as both singer and percussionist, she offers up her debut album Mountain Child. In this musical photo album she takes you on a journey to a nostalgic time full of childish curiosity and the urge to explore.
In the first single Free Enough you are immersed in unanswered questions. What do you long for? Where do you belong? When are you free enough? Tumbling through treacherous time signatures and harmonies, you land on a surprisingly catchy chorus. Sanne’s jazz background can clearly be heard in her composition, and it leaves you with the need to immediately listen to the piece again.
The title piece Mountain Child tells the story of a pure and vibrant mountain child who sleeps when tired and eats when hungry. The narrator longs for this simplicity, and resolves to create a sheltered and inaccessible place for herself. It ends on a melancholy note that invites you to ask yourself what such a place would mean to you.
