Ilse DeLange gets candid about musical breakup with Waylon: 'He didn't want it' | RTL Street
Although their Eurovision Song Contest adventure was very successful, Waylon (43) and Elsie DeLange (46) later parted ways with some disagreement. In the new “Linda”. Ilse tells about this period and explains why The Common Linnets disbanded.
“Waylon wanted to address that in a way I didn't think was possible.”
Looks like Ilse has made the right album. contaminated The film is about fractures in all their forms, whether in love, friendship or a business relationship. She has the necessary experience in the latter field: she and Waylon participated in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2014 as a formation of The Common Linnets. They managed to go far and finished second. They could not enjoy their joint success for very long, because shortly after the Eurovision Song Contest they announced their musical breakup.
“Our success during the Eurovision Song Contest – where ‘Calm After The Storm’ went to number one in fourteen countries – has led to many opportunities coming our way,” explains Ilse. According to her, this is where the dispute arose. “Waylon wanted to address that in a way I didn't think was possible, so I said, 'I'm going to jump on this train anyway.' “Whether I participate or not, but I will jump on it.” Because Elsie had herself tried to penetrate America and Germany before, she knew how rare the opportunity was for them at that time.
Waylon decided not to jump on this train. “When he didn't want to come, I thought: 'I'll see what's left,'” Els recalls. Together with the songwriters of “Calm After The Storm” I decided to tour Germany and it was a success. “It's been ten years now and we are still successful in Germany. It turns out there are enough crumbs.”
Recently it seemed like Elsie and Waylon would be together again:
the new Linda. It will be available in stores starting Wednesday.
