The Kik - The Kik Retranslates!

After the performances as house band of De Wereld Draait Door - in which The Kik translated well-known hits every month and thus anticipated the conversations at the table - many people asked to provide songs with new Dutch lyrics. In recent years, more than forty new lyrics were created, many of which were only performed once, including by Giel Beelen (Schuilen Bij Jou, In Your
Arms by Chef'Special), The Best Singers of the Netherlands (Wat Je Achterlaat, Rolling In The Deep by Adèle), Radio 1 (Bankje In De Zon, Sunny Afternoon by The Kinks) and De Zomer Voorbij (Het Wordt Weer Zomer, Massachusetts by The Bee Gees). The Kik made a selection from this repertoire for this new album. “Each and every one of them are world hits that you hear around you every day, but then freely translated, retranslated, in your native language”, according to The Kik.
