Stan Vreeken releases his new single 'Cinderella Goes It Alone' September 3rd

Stan Vreeken will release his new single 'Cinderella Goes It Alone' on September 3rd. An infectious synth-pop song with an emancipatory - and very danceable - modern spin on the classic tale of Cinderella. Because why would Cinderella need a man to take her out dancing? In his very own light-hearted manner Stan reminds his listeners that everyone should be able to be whoever they want to be, and dance like no one is watching.

What started out as a song for my sister - with which I wanted to support her wish to simply have a nice night out without being harassed - eventually turned into a sort of protest song against the male gaze and the social bias that women are still subject to... but as a very happy protest song for dancing! - Stan Vreeken

Stan Vreeken is a creative through and through. After finishing his studies at the Conservatory of Amsterdam he wrote for many well known Dutch (pop) artists, including Ruben Hein, Do, Guusje, Tania Kross and FRIDAY. In the recent years he has made a name for himself in theater as a composer, performer, singer and lyricist. He performed his own music theater performances at major festivals among which Operadagen Rotterdam, Parade and Oerol, and worked with people such as Pepijn Gunneweg (The Ashton Brothers), Gijs Naber and Erik Whien. Until 2015 Stan was frontman and songwriter of the band The Big Hunger. He has been releasing music under his own name since 2017.

On October 1st his debut album 'Just Like That' will be released. It is his first full-length self-produced album, but he already released three EPs. Stan was inspired - with a lot of childish enthusiasm - by the songsmiths, the synth-pop and the blue-eyed soul he heard in his youth. Stan wrote and produced this album with childlike enthusiasm and with a full-grown sense for harmony and lyrics. His productions sound like a box full of colored pencils, carefully tipped over. Of course with is a lot of room for the strong imagination and light-hearted lyrics that characterize Stan as a songwriter. Maarten Hogenhuis, Jasper Slijderink (Jett Rebel, Duncan Laurence) and Jelle Huiberts (Kovacs, Jeangy Macrooy) joined him on this album.

Stan played 60 shows this summer with his own theater-performance Lonesome George at Theater Festival de Parade this summer (about the last living (animal) species who are gone extinct). He will perform with The Boy Whose Name Was Everything and Het Spektakel, for which he also wrote the lyrics and music, at various locations in the country.
