Birgit’s exciting new music album is what we want to talk about here: True Stories I Made Up, a BirgitMusic production, licensed by Zip Records, is quite different from her previous album (released in the Netherlands). Pop songs with a clear verse-chorus-verse structure, like her hit singles from the past (“A Little Famous”, “I Know” and “Few Like You”) have remained. But that’s about the sole similarity between this album and her successful debut album, “Few Like Me” (Virgin Records, 2001).
On True Stories I Made Up Birgit is confidently steering into another direction, without loosing hit potential. Tough, self-confident songs go hand in hand with Birgit’s more personal, intimate style. Her new sound? A mixture of Gwen Stefani, Blondie, Kate Bush and Dido. Listen to the irresistible track Not Just Anyone and first single Guniang, and you’ll surely catch our drift.
This album, her USA debut, more or less documents Birgit’s personal history of the last two years. She likes to describe her new album as a tasty little bag full of candy in different flavours. Some sweet, some sour, some bitter and definitely some spicy and salty ones. True Stories I Made Up sounds like Birgit growing up in public. The girl and her music have both matured considerably. She gives us something to dance and shake our heads to but we’re also given some slow, soulful songs such as Sleeping Pill and her painfully beautiful cover of Wuthering Heights . Those who care to listen to the lyrics in between all the dancing will appreciate the feelings.
The songs on True Stories I Made Up will stick with you for a long time. And so will Birgit.
Album will be released in the USA, May 8, 2007 by Zip Records

"Guniang" the first US single, was supposed to be the second single of her 2005 album "Sticky Tales" but got never released. In the Dutch new paper last week, Birgit announced that she just shot a video for it for the US release.
