My Take

Anouk earns my admiration for refusing to soften her rock edge after "Nobody's Wife" detonated in 1997. As a Dutch artist who writes, sings, and produces her own work, she clearly likes to keep both hands on the wheel, and that control shows. A string of platinum albums, several debuting at number one at home, tells me she reaches people without chasing trends, which is rarer than it sounds. The Golden Harp and Edison honors confirm how deeply the Netherlands treasures her. I have a soft spot for singer-songwriters who stay stubbornly themselves, and she is exactly that kind of artist.
