"Their debutalbum "Total Touch" has propelled Dutch band Total Touch into one of the most popular acts in the history of Dutch music. Its core members, siblings Tjeerd (keyboards, lyrics, background vocals) and Trijntje Oosterhuis (lead vocals), have managed to blend together funky, contemporary r&b with soulful ballads on an album that will appeal to a wide range of international audiences. The songs "Touch Me There" and "Somebody Else's Lover" did very well in the Dutch hitparades. One of my personal favorites is "So Curious", which features saxophone player Candy Dulfer on one of her best performances ever. "Total Touch" deserves to be heard outside of the borders of The Netherlands. Get this album; you will not regret it!"

"This band, consisting of (amongst others) brother Tjeerd and sister Trijntje Oosterhuis managed to get together a fresh set of funky music with the occasionally ballad. Trijntje has a beautifull voice and dito pitch. In one word: GET THIS RECORD!! As you can see, just one word cannot describe this band's potential."
