The 20th anniversary of that record and “Mad about you” seem like the ideal moment for a reunion. Add to that a performance for an audience of millions, at the Eurovision Song Contest 2021 in Rotterdam, and Arnaert’s comeback seems a little less unexpected. Arnaert has that experience at the highest level. And although she left Hooverphonic herself in 2008, that was not a banging decision, emphasizes Alex Callier.
“I told Geike that we were preparing the 20th anniversary of” The Magnificent Tree “and it suddenly turned out that we were looking forward to working together again. The split in 2008 was certainly not hostile, we were very sorry that they The band left. Geike wanted to make a solo album, and couldn’t combine it with Hooverphonic “, says Callier. “We did not split up with drawn knives, we are not grudging,” said guitarist Raymond Geerts.
