De Heikrekels - Oh Maruschka

Review by Linda Pelekoudas

Oh Maruschka by De Heikrekels is an outstanding album that showcases the band's unique blend of Dutch folk and pop music. The album is a tribute to Maruschka, a young girl who captured the heart of the band's lead singer, Pierre Kartner. The songs on the album are uplifting, catchy, and full of heart.

The album kicks off with the title track, "Oh Maruschka," which is a beautiful ballad that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The song is full of emotion and showcases Kartner's impressive vocal range. The album also includes other standout tracks such as "De Liefde Van De Man Gaat Door De Maag," a fun and upbeat song about the love of food, and "De Smokkelaar," a catchy tune about a smuggler who falls in love with a customs officer.

De Heikrekels' music is a perfect blend of traditional Dutch folk music and modern pop, making it accessible to a wide audience. The band's musicianship is impressive, and the arrangements on the album are well-crafted and polished. The production quality is excellent, and the album sounds great from start to finish.
