20 YEARS OF GROWING PAINS
It
was roughly 20 years ago when rock journalist Jacky Huys had the
pleasure of reviewing the first ever work of Marjan Debaene. He
described the debut album Growing
Pains
of the then-17 year old girl as follows: “precious few people in
this country can write a song like her, and her affinity and diction
of the English language is almost impeccable. Growing
Pains
is the type of album people will remake in 10 years as early
recordings. And they'll say “Wir haben es gewusst”. Songs
like Hold
me,
Life
on planet earth
and Philosophical
are real ear worms. And her adaptation of Siegfried Sassoon's They
has lost nothing of its impact after 20 years.”
Now, two decades later, Marjan goes on tour again. Old songs have received a modern makeover and during each performance, Marjan brings a special guest along with whom she'll go on a trip down memory lane. It will be a happy reunion, that's for sure.
