Today, Jan Smit's new album entitled "Met Andere Woorden" entered the album top 100 at number one. This is the 12th time that one of Jan's albums has reached number one in this chart. The new album is supported by a special single, namely "Ik Zie," written by Edwin Evers. The special concept album can be enjoyed live during 35 theater shows throughout the Netherlands.
A year and a half ago, Jan Smit came up with the idea of asking 12 respected colleagues in the industry to write a song for him. Perhaps it would be that one song they felt he should have sung all along, or perhaps it would be a new, challenging style he would never otherwise have tried. Complete freedom for the composer, with—as always—the trusted collaboration of musical genius Thomas Tol, who took on the entire production.
Following the release of the album, the "Met Andere Woorden" theater tour kicked off on September 26. The tour started in Zaandam and will travel throughout the country for 13 weeks, ending in Winschoten. Tickets are available at www.ntk.nl.
The album is available here and can be streamed via this link.
"I'm glad that this special project has been so well received by my fans. I was a little nervous about it," says Jan.
