Alida

Minimum input, maximum impact. Alida’s serene alt-folk music is quiet and intimate. In this silence she tries to find what is hidden beneath the surface. In her songs she examines love, loss, hope, healing and heartbreak. Alida, alias of songwriter Anne Weggeman, lives Lyon, France. She released her debut single Slow Motion in 2021 which got airplay on national radio.

Atwood magazine (USA) about Slow Motion:

“Singer/songwriter Alida’s debut single “Slow Motion” is a tender and serene tempest: An alt-folk world of wonder billowing with haunting emotions and visceral self-reflections. It’s a stirring, hushed, and affecting introduction to Dutch artist Anne Weggeman, who captures our ears and imagination with a slow-moving tapestry of solemn, moody guitars and wistful, warm vocals. For Weggeman, “Slow Motion” showcases a moment of intense vulnerability: “Surrendering fully to the situation appeared to be the formula for a profound peace of mind I never knew before,” she says. Beautiful and aching, “Slow Motion” is a spellbinding enchantment and an instantly memorable first look at an artist we can’t wait to get to know better in the months to come.”

She released her debut album F.A.Q. in spring 2023.
