The original lineup was composed of the members Peter Slager, Paskal Jakobsen, Bas Kennis and Henk Tjoonk. Over the course of six years, the group had released nine records with multiple hit songs.Rather than singing in English, as is common practice among Dutch bands, Bløf produces songs in their native Dutch, vastly contributing to the popularization of nederpop, as the genre has been known in the Netherlands.Besides having deeply sensitive lyrics, Bløf incorporates sounds from around the world. Their latest album, Umoja, was the result of a journey around the world to capture multi-national sounds.Critics claim that their formula for success is the way they crafted songs; they try to find the ideal balance between alternative and popular rock, poetic lyrics, and the voice of Paskal Jakobsen. This has brought Bløf the hits, awards, airplay, and (inter-)national recognition that has propelled these four musicians into the most successful Dutch-language group in recent years. « hide |
