Whispering Sons frontwoman shows her quietest, sparest side with solo work

In the podcast KUNST, KUNST en nog eens KUNST, Whispering Sons frontwoman Fenne Kuppens (BE) recently stated: ‘It's always been a dream of mine to make a solo album. So who knows, maybe one day it will happen. I’d love it. I’m going to work hard for it.’’ 

Enter: some unexpected try-outs that Kuppens pulled out of her sleeve at the end of 2025 to share her solo work with the outside world for the first time. She revealed a musical side we hadn’t previously known: tranquil, spare, fragile, introspective. 

BRDCST immediately offered Kuppens – who had already been a guest at the festival in 2019 – a five-day residency at our brand-new AB Salon. Kuppens will be working on new material there, refining songs and expanding her trio (with Whispering Sons’ guitarist Kobe Lijnen and Lili Grace’s cellist Nelle Bogaerts) to a quintet. 

The result can be discovered at BRDCST. Intrigued? We sure are!
