She has recently had two successful solo albums; Everything is Changing & Drive and nowadays has formed a progressive heavy metal act called VUUR.
Personally, I've loved all the music Anneke has put out. Starting with transformation of The Gathering from the heavier sounds (Mandolin) into the more melodic tunes from (How to Measure a Planet and If, Then, Else) ending up with more alternative music (Souvenir and Home).
Anneke opened my ears to more mainstream sounds and with her vocals I could tap my foot and occasionally sing (poorly I might add) to the non-metal tunage I was used too. Anneke van Giersbergens is with out doubt, my favourite vocalist.
