Roxeanne Hazes is homesick… for the theater. After an initial series of theater shows in 2025, she returns this autumn with a new album and a new show, '…met heimwee' (…with homesickness). It is the overarching theme of her upcoming third studio album. Homesickness for a home, or perhaps anything but. Homesickness for people, places, tastes, smells… and so much more. It has become a warm and hopeful album, yet with her typical melancholy and evocative lyrics. The first single, 'Chaos Gedoofd' (Chaos Extinguished), was released recently.
