‘Liefde en Devotie’, these two solemn words form the title of Guido Belcanto's new album. Since his 1989 debut, this is his 13th studio album, not counting compilations. In a production by bassist Nicolas Rombouts and with remarkable contributions by Naomi Sijmons, Nathalie Delcroix and Tom Van Laere (Admiral Freebee), among others, the 12-song album ‘Liefde &Devotie’ has undoubtedly become a highlight in the already extensive Belcanto catalogue that has been eagerly awaited by numerous loyal fans.

vinyl Album or track playing
‘Liefde en Devotie’, two beautiful words that perfectly express how Guido Belcanto professes his musical vocation and reveal their true meaning in the songs he wrote for this album....

Together with his regular musical brothers “we're not a band, we're a brotherhood (G.B.)”, he worked dutifully, devoutly and lovingly over the past year on this new collection of life songs, songs as only Belcanto can make them, songs that testify to a deep-rooted love and affection for the so-called unfortunate, for people who are “different”, people with lonely and broken hearts, people who just looked the other way when happiness came along.... 'Someone has to give these people a voice and I want to be that someone (G.B.)'

We find it admirable how, after more than 30 years, Belcanto still manages to explore its themes in surprising ways. And if any critic may suggest that Belcanto is repeating itself, Guido shrugs his shoulders and humbly replies: 'Who else should I repeat? ‘Liefde en Devotie’ is not a repetition of what has been, it is a brilliant continuation of an oeuvre that is utterly unique in Flemish chanson.
