Review by Malin Hägg

Album Review: Ich Weiss Nichts Über Sie by Herman van Veen – A Pop Gem from 2001 Let’s get one thing straight: Herman van Veen isn’t your typical pop artist. The Dutch singer-songwriter has been around for ages, crafting tunes that feel like warm hugs or sharp jabs to the soul—depending on what you need. His 2001 album Ich Weiss Nichts Über Sie (released under Polydor in Germany) is no exception. It’s a record that sneaks up on you when you least expect it, kinda like finding an old photograph and suddenly remembering why it mattered. The title track, “Ich Weiss Nichts Über Sie,” hits hard right out of the gate. There’s something haunting about how Van Veen repeats those words—I don’t know anything about her—with this mix of curiosity and melancholy. You can almost picture him sitting alone at a café table, staring into his coffee cup while life buzzes around him. The melody is simple but sticks to your brain like gum on a hot summer sidewalk. I remember humming it days later without even realizing it. That’s the magic of Herman—he doesn’t need fireworks; he just needs honesty. Then there’s the second track (yep, same name, different vibe). This version feels more stripped-down, rawer, like he recorded it late at night after everyone else went home. It’s quieter, sure, but somehow louder emotionally. If the first take is a polite conversation, this one’s a whispered confession. Honestly, it made me stop scrolling through my phone mid-review because I was too busy thinking about all the people I’ve ever wondered about but never really knew. Weird flex, I know, but music does that sometimes. What makes this album stand out isn’t flashy production or chart-topping bangers—it’s the way it sits with you. Like, you’re not gonna blast these songs at a party unless you want everyone crying in their drinks. But if you’re walking home alone at dusk or staring out a train window, this record will fit perfectly. Herman van Veen has this knack for turning ordinary moments into something profound, and Ich Weiss Nichts Über Sie proves it again. Here’s the kicker though—why did they name two tracks exactly the same? Was it intentional? Symbolic? Or maybe Herman just ran out of ideas halfway through. Either way, it works. Maybe that’s the lesson here: repetition doesn’t have to be boring if it means something. So yeah, give this album a spin. Just don’t blame me if you end up overthinking every stranger you pass on the street afterward.
