""Livin' On Love" is Ilse's third CD after "World of Hurt" (4x platinum!) and "Dear John," (recorded live in Amsterdam, containing 9 songs written by John Hiatt). With this album Ilse proofs she's not just another goodlookin' girl from Holland who wants to sing!The first single from the album is "Livin' On Love".Another great track is "I Still Cry". This beauty really makes the audience at her concerts fall in love with her! Also very beautiful are the ballads "Breathin'", "Peaceful In Mine" and "Breathe In, Breathe Out". Ilse was very proud to have Alison Krauss sing the background vocals on "When You Put It Like That". And I must say, it sounds really, really good! I advise you to buy this album right now, you won't be disappointed!"
A Great Singer!

"This CD is a wonderfully produced collection of very nice songs, but the real feature is Ilse's voice. She sounds tough and soft at the same time. In a time of slick and glammed up crossover artists, here's one who sings better, sounds better, and delivers with strength and emotion. There's just no comparison between Faith Hill's "Breathe" and Ilse's "Breathe In, Breathe Out". I only wish it would have been Ilse performing at this year's Grammys."
