MUSICIAN and VOCALIST Digs into Charlotte Wessels - Dopamine with Simone Simons| Reaction & Analysis

[@MrVagrod]

It's time for Charlotte's Chasing Sunsets to be put into The Hat!:)

[@LinkinSLB]

Awesome reaction! Glad you stumbled upon Charlotte - praised be the beanie of justice! Charlotte is an excellent songwriter, she just released her new album The Obsession and the variety and talent on it is off the charts - AOTY contender for me! Each of the songs is a unique experience. I think you would really enjoy each of the tracks - lots of great piano and orchestral moments, lots of proggy elements, some heavy riffage and PHENOMENAL solos by Timo Somers and all of that while remaining catchy and memorable. As others have already requested some of her other singles I would suggest "The Crying Room" as well. Epic and emotional power ballad with some cool prog moments (Oh btw "Under Grey Skies" by Kamelot with Charlotte might be one of my fave songs ever. Kinda cool you mentioned it)

The guitar player is Timo Somers, the same guy who played guitar in "Ayreon's Fate Of Man".

[@janovermars1684]

So you like the songwriting? Check Chasing Sunset and The Exorsism also from Charlotte Wessels. You will love these songs!

[@ChrisPage68]

Charlotte and Simone - can't get much better than that. 🤘🔥🌶️🇱🇺

[@jubbelidiot]

You should add Epica - Sirens (feat. Charlotte Wessels & Myrkur) to the beanie of justice. In that video they all have different colour wigs, so less confusion xD

[@SimonWieger]

I get the confusion. Wigs... right?😉 Liked your analysis a lot. I strongly recommend 'The Exorcism". I think it's right up your alley. 👍

[@renevw5812]

The Dutch singers and bands have a lot of amazing songs latest time.

[@Columbasta]

Hahaha, man.. that whole disclaimer section about dual parallax wigs had me in stitches. Great analysis as usual. As a drummah boi I can't shout out Joey Marin de Boer enough. He's absolutely phenomenal (and a leftie, like myself, who starts his fills with his left hand --> see live fan cam video of "The Exorcism"). Timo wasn't hand-picked by Arjen Lucassen for nothing of course and Charlotte could've done the vocal switch-ups pretty much by herself if it actually had been only her in the video 🤘 BTW: I think that both "The Exorcism" and "Chasing Sunsets" will be right up your BOJ 🎩(no beanie icon, alas)

[@hermenw.huiskamp8555]

Actually what you listened to is: Delain -/- Martijn ++ Sophia ft. Simone 😁 You should really dive into Charlotte's solo work (supported by the old band members). So very good, creative and special! Afkicken (Dutch for cold turkey/rehab), Victor, Soft Revolution, Human to Ruin, the Exorcism, Superhuman are just a few titles to explore.

[@Lucerious92]

I'll admit too, even with the video title saying Simon Simons was in here I had a hard time telling the two apart at first. The same wig and clothes kept throwing me off haha

[@andreaswennberg9542]

😂. Understandable, i had a hard time hearing who sang what on my first listning. They really work well together.

[@roeehsi]

Charlotte's former band Delain - The Gathering with Marko Hietala :) and basically as many other Delain singles you can react to, from whichever era (Masters of Destiny, Beneath, The Quest and The Curse, Stardust, Moth to a Flame, Burning Bridges)

[@neils123]

After Delain broke up & reformed, I was following Charlotte's patreon for a while, but I gotta be honest I wasn't in love with the music she was exploring at that point. I drifted away, but now she's come back with some killer stuff and it's great to hear! I haven't listened to the whole album yet, but what I've heard has been really good.

Wanna see a kick-ass Dingwall? Check Rob Van Der Loo’s bass in “Kingdom of heaven part 3 (Omega Alive)”. Also, you hear a masterpiece in the meantime =) Cheers!

[@NZWozza]

Ok, I’ll go easy on you for not realising two singers, as two of my favourite Dutch singers… but only if you add Knower - Overtime to ‘The Beanie of Justice’ as if you haven’t seen them, you will definitely get a kick out of it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZ-onndnbNCMqacsi=A1otZv3ltLMJADdT

@@NZWozza seems like a fair compromise 😁
