That\u2019s the feeling you get when you listen to&nbsp;<em>Deep Pockets<\/em>, the single released by three acclaimed solo artists \u2013 Pitou, Naaz, and LUWTEN \u2013 who joined forces for the first time. The song was born from a chance meeting in 2017, when the three were interviewed together about their musical ambitions. They stayed in touch, attended each other\u2019s shows, and finally, years later, found the time for a joint songwriting retreat. Strumming guitars, improvising, each working on their own verse\u2026 only to discover that their separate lines seamlessly wove together into a warm, hopeful song about precisely this idea: that life must be lived forward, though we often only make sense of it in hindsight. However life may unfold in the meantime, don\u2019t miss the harmonies of three of the Netherlands\u2019 finest voices. It might just be exactly where you needed to be at that moment. (Though you\u2019ll only realize it afterwards.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pitou<\/strong><br>Amsterdam-born artist Pitou released her debut album&nbsp;<em>Big Tear<\/em>&nbsp;last year, blending her background as a member of the National Children\u2019s Choir with her intuitive songwriting style. Known for her intense live performances, she was named one of 2023\u2019s breakthrough talents. Her album appeared in several Dutch newspapers\u2019 \u201cBest of 2023\u201d lists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>LUWTEN<\/strong><br>Under the name LUWTEN, Tessa Douwstra crafts music with a keen eye for detail, inspired by her personal holy trinity of minimal music, R&amp;B, and indie folk. With her acclaimed debut and second album, she toured across Europe. She is currently working on her third album, following&nbsp;<em>Draft<\/em>, which won the 3voor12 Award for Dutch Album of the Year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Naaz<\/strong><br>Naaz is a Kurdish, independent artist born and raised in the Netherlands in a migrant household. Her work fuses different art forms and cultures into an idiosyncratic blend of English and Kurdish alternative music, exploring what freedom means for people from the diaspora. She has toured Europe four times and received multiple awards, including two Edisons and film festival prizes for her visuals.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-whitespace medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>","protected":false},"featured_media":10121,"template":"","class_list":["post-10199","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Pitou, LUWTEN &amp; NAAZ - Explore the North<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/explorethenorth.nl\/en\/event\/pitou-luwten-naaz\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Pitou, LUWTEN &amp; NAAZ - Explore the North\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Triple Hit Sometimes you look back and think: it had to happen this way.
