Pitou

Pitou is the hauntingly beautiful musical project of Dutch singer-songwriter Anne van den Hoogen, whose ethereal vocals and genre-blurring soundscapes have captivated listeners across Europe. Emerging from Utrecht, she blends indie folk intimacy with cinematic electronic textures, creating a vibe that’s both introspective and expansively atmospheric. Known for her poetic lyricism and themes exploring identity, connection, and raw emotion, Pitou sharpened her craft while studying at the Conservatory of Amsterdam, later honing a live presence that’s equal parts vulnerable and magnetic.

Since her early EPs, Pitou’s sound has evolved into something grander, as heard in recent releases like *Big Tear* and *Helium (EVERYTHING IS VOCALS)*, which balance delicate melodies with experimental production twists. Tracks like *Deep Pockets* and *Angel* showcase her knack for wrapping existential musings in lush, swirling arrangements. Her *Big Tour Live EP* and raw performances like *Cut A Hole (Live at Best Kept Secret)* prove she’s as compelling onstage as in the studio, cementing her reputation as a rising force in Europe’s alt-pop scene.
