In ‘Little Girl’, the first single of his new album ‘Messages of Cheer & Comfort’, Sioen mixes classic songwriting with a percussive piano loop, a catchy vocal melody, and unique string arrangements, that remind us of Motown music. His sweet ‘chocolate’ voice brings us an encouraging song as a message for the younger generation, ready to change the world. A positive message of change, a new beginning.

Little Girl
Music & Lyrics by Frederik Sioen / String Arrangement by Wietse Meys
little girl
this world is waiting for us
light to shadows
behind the secret doors
do what you love
don’t wade in shallow waters
take a dive
try to cross your borders
little girl
the clock is ticking for us
from this very second
on to the magic hours
do what you need to do
face the consequences
act your way
to the best of your knowledge
speak, speak your mind
share your thoughts
don’t just mind your own business
choose, choose your words
carefully
now don’t get defensive
and fight, pick a fight
but stay polite
be open to those who differ
share your love
most of all
never hold back the love
little girl
this world is waiting for us
it’s like a dance
in the mist of this early dawn
in the morning of a vivid dream
in this new beginning
