Anouk

The Profile

Anouk (Anouk Teeuwe) is a Dutch singer-songwriter who broke through internationally with the 1997 hit Nobody’s Wife. Known for a powerful rock voice and charting albums like Together Alone and Hotel New York, she later represented the Netherlands at Eurovision 2013 with Birds.

Reviews here cover her acoustic-leaning Update (2004) praised for intimacy and vocal presence; Hotel New York (2004) highlighted for strong rock cuts; and a 2003 Heineken Jammin' Festival set tied to the harder-edged Graduated Fool era. Signature tracks mentioned include Nobody’s Wife, Who Cares, Everything, Searching, Margarita Chum, and Jerusalem.

Three takes on Anouk: a rough 2003 Imola set (harshly rated), a warm, acoustic-focused Update (praised for voice and intimacy), and the rock-polished Hotel New York. The reviews highlight her powerful vocals, key tracks like Nobody’s Wife, and the shift toward more mature songwriting. Overall mood: mixed but largely appreciative of her voice.
