The second album by singer-songwriter Oskamp has become reality. 'Mooierd' sounds like a diary that gets its stories from the smell of spring and a bittersweet autumn. Twelve Dutch popsongs in an acoustic style, that will never get out of fashion. In 2015 Joost Oskamp presents his first Dutch album after an exciting and international musical adventure, in which the songwriter from Utrecht works with producer Todd Burke (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jack Johnshon) and performs in the opening act of pop icon Sia. This musical rollercoaster makes Joost realize that it's quite difficult to express the essence of a song in English. He decides to write his new material in his mother tongue. After the making of the album 'De Nieuwe Gezelligheid' Joost wants to get closer to the core, live as well as on record. Playing acoustic songs with his good friend Ferry van der Groep (People You Know, Sneakerfreak) turns out to be a succes. Their vocals and guitar-play bring extra colour and caracter to the show. At the start of 2016 they play at Grasnapolsky festival, after which the duo decides to work together on the second Oskamp album. The personal songs are about love, reflection and letting go.
