 A-N-O-U-K THE BEST!!
I live in The Netherlands, but I just start to hear Anouk when I first arrive in the country. I love this album, she's a great singer...She sings with the heart, and her voice is so unique! I recomend any of ANOUK albuns, because she a very complete artist, you just can't stop to hear it! "Urban Solitude", "Michel", "The Dark" and "My best wasn't good enough" are my favourites!!
Buy and You'll see what I call music!! This is music baby!

 The really good stuff has to be imported nowadays.
Remember the soulful bluesy rock tunes of the late 60's and early 70's? How about the kickass hard rock of the mid and late 70's? Perhaps you prefer a reggae beat or some of today's rap. Anouk Teeuwe at times explores it all and through it all, this superhot Dutch band ROCKS! Janis, I think, would have touched on music like this had she lived. Urban Solitude is life on the streets; it's hard, it's rough, it'll hit you deep where you live. Good bands rise to the level of greatness traveling through the nightclub trenches, and the hard living shows in the music they write. November 9, 2001

 Agressive gentleness
This album is a sheer mix of rock, ballads and raw emotion. Anouks raw voice carries the tunes with out fancy tricks as many female singers try to pull off. her vocal range in amazingly strong and so is her talent. I first got "Together alone" the album in Holland and fell in love with anouk. I like to keep her one of my hidden treasures and dont often play her cd unless alone.. get it now before its too late June 22, 2001

 Great music, Anouk at her BEST
this disc is great. my personal favorite songs are: #3 - "Are you kidding me" (where she asks the greatest question of all times: what has she got that I don't have?) #4 - "Tom Waits" (soft and romantic song) #5 - "Urban solitude" (for anyone who has ever felt lonely) #7 - "Michell" (so touching it would send chills down your spine. what first love is really like) and one of the best songs ever, #11, "cry". If you've been in a relationship where the other person was hiding their emotions, or have a hard time expressing your own - you WILL relate to this song. Not a lot of money to spend for a little peiece of heavan... June 2, 2001

 loved it!!
what can I say? Anouk knows how to sing...apart from the fact that she has a great voice.This record is one of the best she has made so far.Songs like "my best wasn't good enough" (which on my oppinion is the best on the album),"urban solitude","Tom Waits" and so on make my day better. I think others should at least listen to it..there are quite good lyrics. February 20, 2001
