What If

'What If' is one of those albums that just makes you think wow!

1. Opening track 'Rain Down On Me' is classic! It's Kane's trademark song that will forever be 'that track' which launched a hundred more hits! Interestingly it wasn't the first release in Holland, but the guys know it has the strength to make their debut into UK charts a memorable one when it's released on 27th July 2004! 'Rain Down On Me' is everything Kane are about. An absolutely brilliant album opener; it will have you hooked and leave you with a reason to actually celebrate those frequent British downpours!!!

Kane's talent for portraying emotions in poetic, original ways is introduced here and remains a dominant theme throughout the album; quite amazing for a bunch of guys who don't speak English as their first language.

2. 'My Best Wasn't Good Enough' takes it down a notch, with a mellow slice of rock sure to keep you swaying and singing along. Dinand's voice is raspy, emotive, strong and unique... we challenge you to keep the hairs on the back of your neck down!

3. 'So Glad You Made It' is a dose of fun and complete with some slight 'Sympathy For The Devil' woo hooing going on and a funky chorus! I'm SURE glad they made it!

4. 'Damn Those Eyes'! Wow, what can I say but wow! This is what ballads are all about (and I mean that with a 'Rob Thomas [Matchbox Twenty] type of talent' compliment). The track builds slowly with verses merging into a glorious chorus and continues to build and build into an amazing finale that you've been anticipating throughout the entire song. Dinand's voice is in top form, leaving you to shut your eyes and will yourself away into the music. As the bridge comes into play with some 'hey, yeah, yeah' action you long for the track to continue! Even better live, this track has to be a major album highlight and worthy of U2 esque wonderfulness!!!

5. 'Can You Handle Me' is a tease that has you singing out loud and tapping your cowboy boots in time to the steady beat! A powerful track that is fast, furious and fun all the way!

6. 'Let It Be' is an inspired ballad that brings a lump to your throat and tears to your eyes. Sung from the heart and culminating with Dinand's cries; you'll' be weeping with him!

7. 'Head Down' is reminiscent of Bon Jovi's 'These Days' album. It's moodier and heavier with some serious guitar action, passion and head banging potential

8. contrasting starkly to the chilled out, smooth and simple nature of 'Mother'.

9. 'Hold On To The World' is another absolute highlight! A first-rate chorus sure to have you jumping up and down in concert and laughing at its honest and outspoken lyrics! Brilliant!!!

10. 'Before You Let Me Go' is an absolutely beautiful ballad to have you weeping and wailing! Tranquillity defines this track with some truly heartfelt lyrics merging with the drumbeat.

11. 'Our Hearts Will Beat As One' is completely unique to the rest of the album. Reliant mainly on vocals and drums, the track is highly emotive with a superb, distinctive 'Richie Sambora' style guitar solo!

12. With the UK edition of "What If" you get exclusive bonus tracks! Track 12 'Rain Down On Me (Tiesto Remix)' is a dance remix demonstrating how a strong song can cross genres effortlessly!

13. An acoustic version of 'Rain Down On Me' (which as you'd expect from an acoustic number, is pared back) remains as irresistable as ever. The lesser production showcases Dinand's vocals even more and with 3 versions of the same song included on one album, it proves how versatile the track is.

14. is another acoustic offering, this time 'So Glad You Made It'. The rhythm running through this number is infectious and the whole song has a much more organic feel to it. Dinand's vocals are breathy and slightly more moody (although very much controlled) and listening to it suggests that you've had the privelege of being invited to a jamming session, something which only a few bands can pull off.

So, that's the end of the listed audio tracks on the album but is that really the end of the album? The answer is NO!!! If you continue to play track 14 you'll find that around 5 mins 45 secs instrumental music begins! This long intro lasts for about 5 minutes and then hidden track 'What If' kicks in. The vocals at the beginning of 'What If' are really quite haunting but it turns into a pretty ballad and the lyrical content is very poetic. A lovely little surprise.

Finally, the 'Rain Down On Me' video has been included in the bonus section and what a bonus it is! The video is extremely powerful and accompanies the track beautifully; it's well shot, performance driven, striking and had us remembering the visuals after only one viewing! Watch out for the extremely cool (literal) interpretation of 'Rain Down On Me' at the end!

Overall, an album that you can't afford to miss which undoubtedly, rocks even more live! Tracks have been selected from Kane's previous two albums in Holland and makes for a great introduction to the wonderful world of the Dutch... what do rock!!!!!

To sum up, the UK edition bonus tracks enhance an already outstanding album - what are you waiting for? Grab your copy today, book a ticket to see the guys showcase gig at the Mean Fiddler (LONDON) on 7th July and be amongst the people who can say they discovered Kane before they hit it big!

My G/F said they sound like matchbox 20, not a bad thing, though matchbox 20 have a unique sound with rob's voice.

get this album, it will keep you playing it for time to come i assure you.

Keep the dutch revolution going.
