Kyoko Baertsoen (ex-Hooverphonic, Lunascape) debuts with solo album ‘Kyoko’ – listen to the album preview
Belgian singer Kyoko Baertsoen, who you will know from her work with Hooverphonic and as Lunascape will release her solo debut on March 8th, on International Women’s Day, simply titled “Kyoko”.
“Kyoko” counts 10 new songs which bring us back to her triphop-roots. The first single to be released from the album is “Wildest Rain”.
The material for this album was co-written with the producer/songwriter Jan De Block. The album was further completed together with guitarist Jo Mahieu; bassists Jan Detremerie and Vincent Pierins; songwriters Jim Colman (Jim Cole), Bert Wuyts, Patrick Hamilton and Kevin Strauwen; Uwe Teichert (mastering) and producer/musician Ronald Vanhuffel.
We have been listening to the album already and can only recommend it warmly. An interview will be published shortly.

Support Side-Line
More people read Side-Line than ever, and there is still no paywall and no advertising. Readers pay for it instead - from $5 a month.
Why we ask
Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.

Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil. Besides music I’m also an SEO and AI content flow specialist and have an interest in everything finance from stocks to crypto. There is music in everything!
