The music of Amsterdam-born musician Pitou is characterised by her highly distinctive voice, unique compositions and the use of vocal harmonies as an instrument in themselves. Her highly anticipated self titled debut EP was released on 10’’ vinyl and CD on the 8th of September 2016, during a sold out release show in the Vondelchurch in Amsterdam, on UK/NL label Mink Records. Spotify and Apple Music a.o. placed her songs in worldwide playlists. In 2017 Pitou played across the Netherlands and Belgium, and in Glasgow and in London. She was named one of the 12 talents for 2018 by 3VOOR12, the Dutch national broadcaster’s music branch, and British newspaper The Independent declared her ‘One To Watch in 2018’. Pitou received widespread praise for her performance at European showcase festival Eurosonic/Noorderslag 2018, with 3VOOR12 naming her performance no. 3 of the 25 best shows of Noorderslag. Pitou has been confirmed for The Great Escape 2018. Late 2017 saw the release of new material: single ‘Problems’ came out on November 17th, with a video premiere at the Independent. The track was featured in multiple playlists, including New Music Friday NL on Spotify. A second single, ‘Give Me A Glass’, will be released on May 4th, accompanied by a video that will be released slightly later. Pitou’s new EP ‘I Fall Asleep So Fast’ was released on May 11th, with a full-band live show celebration on May 13th at Bitterzoet, Amsterdam.

Pitou's tracks 'Be Delicate' and 'I Fall Asleep So Fast' also featured on the new EP, received airplay on BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music and Radio X prior to release. The Independent‘s Roisin O’Connor says: ‘Amsterdam-born artist Pitou has one of the most arresting voices to emerge from this year … she crafts intelligent folk-pop that balances the darkness and light of human emotion.’ Complete Music Update say: ‘If she doesn’t find an audience vastly beyond the already growing fanbase she currently commands, everything in the world will have gone terribly wrong.’ Noisey/Vice NL say: ’I don’t know exactly how to describe this, but Pitou’s songs reach straight into my soul. Her way of singing instantly brought tears to my eyes. She creates intimate, minimalistic and above all beautiful folksongs, with mysterious melodies that remind one of Alela Diane, Laura Marling or Julia Holter. Not overly sentimental, but intimate and powerful.’ Genre Pop Contains tracks Pitou - Cabin by Mink Records published on 2018-03-12T22:48:49Z Pitou - Give Me A Glass by Mink Records published on 2018-03-12T22:48:49Z Pitou - I Fall Asleep So Fast by Mink Records published on 2018-03-12T22:48:48Z Pitou - Be Delicate by Mink Records published on 2018-03-12T22:48:47Z Pitou - Problems by Mink Records published on 2018-03-12T22:48:47Z
