2016 release from the Dutch singer/songwriter. Fake It Till We Die is Anouk's eleventh studio album and the follow-up to Queen For A Day, which was released earlier this year. After Anouk Teeuwe's breakthrough in 1997, she's had numerous hit singles in the Dutch and Belgian charts. Anouk represented the Netherlands at the Eurovision Song Contest 2013 in Malmö, Sweden. Her song made it to the final - the first since 2004 for the Netherlands; and finished ninth. Anouk's musical style has been described as a combination of Joan Osborne, Melissa Etheridge and Alanis Morissette. She is known for explosive rock songs but has also made small and fragile songs. In addition to her pop/rock sound, she also experiments with soul, funk and hip hop.

Sade’s longest absence yet did not prevent their return from being an event. It at least seemed eventful whenever “Soldier of Love,” released to radio a couple months prior to the album of the same title, was heard over the airwaves. Even with its brilliantly placed lyrical allusions to hip-hop past and present and its mature sound, the single stuck out on stations aimed at teens and twentysomethings, as well as points on the dial that court an older audience. It was the most musical and organic, while also the most dramatic yet least bombastic, song in rotation. Crisp snare rolls, cold guitar stabs, and at least a dozen other elements were deployed with tremendous economy, suspensefully ricocheting off one another as Sade Adu rewrote “Love Is a Battlefield” with scarred, assured defiance.
