26/09/2011: 15th anniversary Growing Pains. 15 years ago, my first album was released.
Growing Pains was the title.
I was 17 years old.
I wore the same pants during the whole tour.
It was a fashion statement :)
Here's some pictures from that era.
Fashion has come a long way since then and so have I.
Without GP there would be no 'Marjan' in music. So thank you to everybody involved in the making of that record and thank you to Map Records who gave me a break :)
this is what the press had to say about it:
De Standaard, 24/25 dec. 1996:
'Debaene geeft sterk visitekaartje af. Jonge folkzangeres laat eigen geluid horen.'
translation: Debaene deliveres a strong debut album. Young folksinger has own sound.
Weekend Knack, Jacky Huys, nr. 49, 4/10 tot 12/10 1996:
'Ze kan een song schrijven zoals weinigen in dit land en haar aanvoelen en uitspraak van de Engelse taal is quasi vlekkeloos. G.P. is het soort cd dat men binnen tien jaar zal heruitbrengen als Early Recordings en zeggen: Wir haben es gewusst.'
translation: She can write a song as not many can in this country and her feeling and pronunciation of the English language is nearly impeccable. G.P. is the kind of album that will be released ten years from now as Early Recordings and they will say: Wir haben es gewusst.'
