Ozark Henry – A Dream That Never Stops
Ever since his first solo album, over 20 years ago, I’ve been a fan of Ozark Henry (the stage name of Belgian singer-songwriter, musician, arranger and producer Piet Goddaer). His beautiful melodies continue to strike me, also after repeated listening. The organic sound of his songs lends itself perfectly to be performed with an orchestra and that’s exactly what he did on his latest album Paramount, which he recorded with the National Orchestra of Belgium in 2015.
Two years later, Ozark Henry is about to release his ninth studio album Us, an album about doing what is necessary to save our earth, climate, dignity and humanity. Still, it’s a hopeful album, according to Goddaer. It was produced by Tim Bran (London Grammar, Birdy, The Verve) and is preceded by this first single, A Dream That Never Stops.

Sennek – A Matter Of Time
Belgium has built itself a reputation at the Eurovision Song Contest. The last three years, the country ended in the Top 10, twice of which (Loïc Nottet and Blanche) in fourth position. The entry for 2018 is equally dark and broody as these Top 5 songs, so it looks like Belgium will make it four in a row.
This year’s candidate is 27-year-old Laura Groeseneken, who goes by the stage name of Sennek. In recent years she wrote songs for Hooverphonic and played keys in Ozark Henry’s band, two of my all-time favourite Belgian artists. On A Matter Of Time, Hooverphonic’s Alex Callier returns the favour. He co-wrote the tune, so it comes as no surprise that it has James Bond written all over it, although A Matter Of Time sounds a little more stripped-down, less bombastic. Producer Maxime Tribeche, who also worked with Delv!s, did a fine job at that.
Callier wrote the opening sentence ‘Sometimes it feels like it’s meant to be broken’, after he broke his beloved tea pot while making tea during the writing sessions. This event also features in the video. With a song as good as this, it’s hard to believe Sennek’s Eurovision dream will break to smithereens as well…
