KLAAS, that is Klaas Delrue, the singer and frontman of Yevgueni. Under nothing more or less than his first name, he wants to make himself heard solo again in 2026.
The solo album Tijd voor mij (Time for me) was deliberately made into a small record on which KLAAS explicitly wanted to bring the singer-songwriter and the ‘bedroom singer’ in himself to the foreground.
“Both the album and the performances will be honest, moving, and straight to the point.”
KLAAS chose Dutch this time—unlike his previous solo adventure—for the simple reason that this record had to be as personal as possible. You can interpret Tijd voor mij in that way. But also as a very scarce commodity for the father of now 9- and 7-year-old daughters.
Live, he goes all the way back to the essence: alone on stage. With his ten new songs that need no more than a voice, a guitar, and some embellishments. With the stories behind them. With homages to his heroes and undoubtedly a few solo versions of Yevgueni gems.
Anyone who has ever seen or heard it knows that it works. And that it is special.
