Dutch alt-rock singer/songwriter Anouk rose to stardom on the heels of her 1997 hit single "Nobody's Wife," igniting a career that would see her become not only one of the most successful artists in her native Netherlands, but also widely popular throughout much of Europe. Mixing hard-edged rock, pop, electronica, and blues, albums like 1999's Urban Solitude, 2004's Hotel New York, and 2009's For Bitter or Worse all went platinum and cemented Anouk's status as a perennial chart-topper with impressive staying power.
