BENTE.

Bente was in the spotlight from a young age. Her own musical story took on a different dimension when she started writing in Dutch: the distance between the singer and her lyrics narrowed. Love, uncertainty, and growing up found a direct voice.

Als Ik Met De Wind Kon Dansen was released in 2022. Two years later came Drift: a second album in which vulnerability and movement coexist. Together, they form a catalogue that invites you to listen beyond a single well-known song.

Beste Zangers and Kan Je Me Zien brought her to a wider audience in 2025. DWARS, her third album, follows on November 6, 2026. The announcement is about choosing your own path, even as expectations grow.

as well. Listening to Bente on vinyl gives her lyrics their own pace. On Als Ik Met De Wind Kon Dansen and Drift

, you can follow the words without constantly jumping to the next individual track. A small image in a verse can take on a different meaning later when the chorus returns. The LP format suits that attentive listening: one side after another, a short pause, then the continuation. Not only do the recognisable songs count, but also the quieter moments in which the voice and the accompaniment give each other space.

Choosing a Bente LP means choosing a chapter from her work. Compare the way the songs on different albums give shape to their emotions, from a restrained sentiment to a larger gesture. On DWARS and other new releases, you will find the exact edition and current release information on the product page, so that an announced album remains clearly distinguishable from an available pressing. The focus on melody, sound, and interplay also opens up a path to Froukje and S10
