There are singers who with the sheer sound of their voice manage to bring the world to a halt. Powderblue (pseudonym for Marjolein van der Klauw) is such a vocalist. After a start doing covers of Joini Mitchell, she won the Grote Prijs van Nederland-award (the country's most prestigiuous award is for up and coming musical talents) as singer/songwriter in 1998. Two years ago she returned with her first cd So Much To Cover, with guitarist Jac Bico and was named Female Artist &Discovery of the Year in Texas of all places. Now there is a second album, which again is a stirring mix of folk, country and melancholy. Arguably the most interesting vocalist the Netherlands has to offer.
