Guusje

Guusje is a rising Dutch singer-songwriter making waves in the Netherlands' indie pop scene with her candid, introspective lyrics and minimalist sound. Emerging around 2020, she gained attention through tracks like "Was Ik Maar Een Vrouw" and "Kleine Jongens" that explore themes of identity, relationships, and societal expectations with raw vulnerability. Her 2021 debut album *Liedjes Over Meisjes* ("Songs About Girls") solidified her reputation for crafting emotionally charged narratives over stripped-down guitar arrangements and atmospheric production.

Known for her warm, conversational vocals and diary-like lyricism, Guusje often addresses young adulthood's complexities through songs like "Mag Ik Vrij Zijn?" ("May I Be Free?") and "Dopamine." Her recent acoustic rework of "Glittersokken" ("Glitter Socks") showcases her ability to transform intimate bedroom-pop sketches into resonant anthems. While maintaining a relatively low public profile, she's become a voice for Gen Z listeners through her unfiltered explorations of self-discovery and mental health in tracks like "De Laatste Trein" ("The Last Train").
