Surprising duet by Tourist LeMC and Clouseau in French: this is how Suzan & Freek never heard their songs in ‘Love for music’ | LOVE FOR MUSIC

TVThe hits of Suzan & Freek were central in ‘Love for music’ yesterday. Just not in the versions they are used to. Tourist LeMC surprised the couple with a special duet, Clouseau performed in French for the first time and Stan sang candidly about the sleepless nights after the birth of his son Lenny.

A unity both on and off stage, charming and nice people who put you in a good mood: this is how the artists of ‘Love for Music’ describe the musical couple Suzan & Freek. Jasper Steverlinck moves Suzan to tears with his version of ‘Weg Van Jou’, a cheerful love song to which he has skillfully added a touch of melancholy.

“We had a problem,” it sounds Clouseau must be done. “There are two of you, so are we. You sing in Dutch, so do we. What else do you have to do?” Koen and Kris found the solution and surprised everyone with their first cover… in French. And that on the hit ‘Goud’.

Also Tourist LeMC has a surprise in store for ‘Gedeeld Door Ons’. A cover that he shares… with Laura Tesoro! She then brings out her best Antwerp accent. Something that everyone can enjoy. They even receive a standing ovation from Suzan & Freek.

Laura Tesoro himself made a bold choice. “I started working on your baby, ‘When It Is Evening’. In English it will be ‘When The Stars Come Out’. The text really appealed to me because I am someone who cannot go to sleep without an argument.”

Stan Van Samang chooses ‘Insomnia’ and that choice was quickly made. He transformed his cover into a song about the sleepless period after the birth of son Lenny. “When Lenny was very small he always had to be held upright because he had reflux. At night he was quiet for a maximum of 20 minutes and then he started screaming again. We sometimes had weeks without sleep, which was very hard. But he needed us. Point. Then you do that.”

K3 goes in a different direction this time. “You have a lot of positivity and beautiful messages, but strangely enough we have chosen a song that has a heavy load,” says Hanne. “We also go with our Head in the Clouds, but in a different way.”

‘Hundred Times’ is for Johannes Genard. “Your text is a cute rom-com story, I added the trademark Johannes uncertainty. My love and I have been together for 14 years and she has hit on me. I am far too insecure for that and that is what the song is about.”

And with Reg the nerves are on edge. “When I knew who would participate in ‘Love for Music’, I answered within two milliseconds: all good, but I definitely want to do that song. ‘Mirror image’ is a gift to me through and through. I do it with my own Suzan & Freek: Maxine & Jaap.”

Finally close Suzan & Freek the evening itself with their big hit from ‘Love for music’: ‘This Is Voor Jou’.
