Questions about relationship with Maan frustrate Goldband singer: ‘Suddenly little is about music’ | show

Karel Gerlach finds the questions about his relationship with Maan de Steenwinkel understandable but also exhausting. The singer of the popular Goldband has recently become a couple with the Utrecht woman, after rumors about the two have been buzzing for a long time. “It’s suddenly not about the music anymore.”

Maan and Karel single-handedly put an end to all rumors when the singer suddenly appeared in the Goldband show at Lowlands. The couple in love sang while staring at each other ‘from here to the moon and back’, in front of thousands of spectators.

Since then, the two seem to have completely found each other. For example, Goldband and Maan went into the studio together for their new hit ‘Secretly’ and after a busy festival summer they both came to rest under the sun of Curaçao.

Text continues below the video.

On the Caribbean island, Gerlach’s first photo appeared on Maan’s Instagram page. Since then, the Goldband singer has been frequently asked questions about his relationship with Maan. “It’s all of a sudden less about the music,” he says Fidelity. ,,I do understand it. But it is also tiring. I understand that it can be interesting for people, but at some point it will be finished.”

The media are constantly trying to find brackets in interviews to ask something about Karel and Maan

Gerlach receives support from his fellow singer Boaz Kok. “The media are constantly trying to find brackets in interviews to ask something about Karel and Maan.” That also bothers Gerlach. “I think that’s kind of sad.”

In the field of music, Goldband is not doing badly at all. With their joint hit Stiekem they have been at the top of the top lists for weeks and their song ‘Emergency’ has also been flattened in the Netherlands since Lowlands. Last month, the formation from The Hague won the MTV EMA for Best Dutch Act, beating Antoon, Frenna, RONDÉ and Yade Lauren.

After storming the charts with the hit ‘Secretly’, Maan can also call herself the most successful Dutch-speaking singer in the entire history of the Top 40, as she was told by Q-music last month.
