Fake It Till We Die · 2016

Fake It Till We Die shows Anouk in full color — a bold blend of funk, soul and rock driven by tight grooves, warm organs and punchy horn sections.

Instead of leaning into melancholy, the album feels upbeat, stylish and rhythm-first, without losing her trademark edge. Critics highlighted its mix of accessible rock with a sharper bite, with the soul not only in Anouk’s voice but also in the lively arrangements.

A standout detail: for the first time, Anouk wrote all the lyrics entirely on her own. The result is a confident, feel-good record that brings sunshine even on the greyest days.
