The music on 'Waiting to be Told' is a combination of pop and jazz, with a whiff of folk. Renske refers to the work of American singer Lizz Wright, Rufus Wainwright and Lesley Feist as sources of inspiration. The album is a dynamic characteristic and shameless personal album that’s full of warm coloured melodies, great hooks and expressive lyrical style.

Renske’s debut album ‘Waiting To Be Told’ is a dynamic characteristic and shameless personal album that’s full of warm coloured melodies, great hooks and expressive lyrical style. The album contains two bonus tracks that Renske recorded with Perquisite (Pete Philly and Perquisite).
When Renske traded the busy citylife of Amsterdam for a little summerhouse in the middle of nowhere in the winter of 2007, she found her inspiration. “Authenticity is what I strive for”, she says, “That’s why I wanted to go to a place where there were no destractions or other influences, to create a new sound in silence.” With a harddisc full of new songs she returned to Amsterdam. She had intense rehearsals with her band before recording in the fall of 2007.Renske Taminiau - vocals | Floris van der Vlugt - sax Philipp Bramswig - guitar | Ruben Hein -piano | Lucas Dols - contrabas | Bobby Petrov - drums
