Coming Home

Multi-platinum artist Sam Bettens has just released a country-Americana album on the world and thus takes a new step in his already rich career. Widely acclaimed for his musicality and enthusiasm, Bettens proves once again why he still belongs on the biggest stages. Only a true artist withstands the test of time, and although Bettens already has a rich career, this album breathes a youthful freshness, doused with the maturity and unvarnished truth of an experienced songwriter. Sam Bettens grew up in Antwerp and therefore not on an idyllic Texan ranch, listening to the latest record by Hank Williams. And yet. Yet he somehow manages to tap into an old-fashioned authenticity of country music, seemingly without too much effort. With lyrics that flow like water and a voice that sounds as if he has already experienced a thing or two, you believe every word as if you were there yourself. He is still half of K's Choice, the band with which he has been traveling the world since he was nineteen, together with his brother. With international hits like 'Not an Addict' and 'Believe', K's Choice quickly established itself at the top of the international alternative rock scene and has actually never left it. But even K's Choice had its Americana and melancholic singer-songwriter moments and it is wonderful to see that side of Bettens in the spotlights now.
