Former Xandria vocalist Dianne van Giersbergen has checked in with the following update:
"A few weeks ago, I announced that I am working on my first solo album. Today, I am proud to announce that my co-writer and producer is non-other than: Joost van den Broek.
Over the past 8 years, I've worked together with Joost on all of my releases with Xandria, but also on the latest Ex Libris album. It is fair to say that he has been a steady, trustworthy and most of all mind-blowing creative factor in my career. Therefore, I could not imagine writing this album with anyone else than with him. Haven't heard of him yet? Then you might want to check out his work with Epica, Powerwolf, Blind Guardian, Ayreon and many others.
In the upcoming 5 years I will release various singles and take you on the journey I've been through in the past 5 years. I will tell you about my obstacles, fears, victories and heartfelt will to continue my quest.
Join me and walk my path together with me to whatever lies beyond!"
