CD REVIEW – SOMMER SO by HENRY VAN DYK
A review of the brand new CD of HENRY VAN DYK
01 – MY HART SE WENS (My heart’s wish)
A song Henry composed himself and it is very good, it brings out his voice well and it has a good melody
02 – DIS WAT WARE LIEFDE MAAK (This is what makes true love)
I find the drums/sound too hard, it is taking away from the voice. The song is average
03 – SOMMER SO (Just like that)
Interesting title, but again I find the drums/sound too hard to really hear the lyrics properly
04 – LIED VIR MA (Song for mother)
Another song Henry composed. Good song for mothers, ideal for mother’s day
05 – EK HOU VAN JOU (I like/love you)
Many euro fans will think this is a cover of the 1984 Dutch entry, but it is a new song. It nis very commercial, good lyrics, catchy chorus which you remember instantly. Of the new songs on the CD, probably the best
06 – KOM TERUG (Come back)
This song is in duet with Werner Breytenback who is unknown to me. The original song was done many years ago by Tuto Cutugno, a previous Eurovision winner who also composed it. In the early 90’s Andre Schwartz sung it in Afrikaans. This is a good cover
07 – EK SAL BY JOU STAAN (I will stand by jou)
Another song Henry composed. This is also very commercial, radio friendly
08 – MAAK MY HEEL (Make me whole)
This is the last of the 4 songs Henry composed. It is almost a gospel song
09 – L’ESSENZIALE
Bilingual version – Afrikaans/Italian and the Eurovision entry of Italy of 2013. Really great cover and Henry sounds perfect in Italian – almost better than in Afrikaans or English
10 – THE STORY
Well known song, Henry is covering it and it is quite good
11 – IN A MOMENT LIKE THIS
This song is in duet with Dina Garipova of Russia, the 2013 singer at Eurovision for Russia. the song is the great Thomas Gson composition for Denmark 2010. The song is tri lingual with Henry singing in Afrikaans, Dina in Russian and together they sing in English. Totally different version from the original but very good. This is the kind of song I love so much, male-female duo singing in more than one language. This is how Eurovision entries should be
12 – ANGEL CHILD
My favourite on the CD, but then I love the original song by Tommy Seebach so much. it was the 1993 Danish Eurovision entry. Henry wrote the English lyrics
13 – ONS VADER
This is the gospel song, the prayer from the Bible. It brings out Henry’s voice well but I think many artists have covered it before so it is not that unique
EUROVISION 60th CELEBRATION – SONG 17 of 60
Now it is the turn of RUSSIA. We are using their 2013 song WHAT IF sung by DINA GARIPOVA and in Afrikaans is it being covered by JASMYN who has over 10 euro covers under her belt.
