Flip Kowlier
singer songwriter from
Belgium |
my opinion:    |
After two
successful hip hop albums with Flemish rappers
"'t Hof van Commerce", frontman Flip
Kowlier decided to go solo, and retreated into the
recording studio. On the album in which the
sessions resulted ("Ocharme Ik") Flip
Kowlier shows off his talents and his experience
of two years of playing and writing. The album
became a tender and sensible masterpiece, on
which he seems to have forgotten all about hip
hop. Playing on his acoustic guitar he turned out
to be "a neo-folk singer", as a Belgian
journalist puts it. The only link with his
previous work is the use of the local Westflemish
dialect. The song "Welgemeende Fuck
You" ("A Fuck You from the Heart")
is slowly becoming a trademark for his album, and
has some success in Belgium.
