Merol

Merel Baldé (February 10, 1991) is a Dutch singer-songwriter who performs under the name Merol. Born in the city of Dordrecht, she seemed to materialize out of thin air in 2018 with her infectious synthpop single “Lekker met de Meiden,” which went viral in an almost overnight fashion. That same year, she issued the EP Boter. A fiercely independent artist and a natural-born provocateur, Merol sparked controversy in 2019 with her next single “Hou je bek en bef me,” an R&B-tinged number that contained explicit references to oral sex. This success was followed by the release of the EP Superlatief later that year. Her rapid ascent to stardom continued in 2020 with the singles “House Party,” “Je vais vite (Op de Campingdisco),” and “Knaldrang,” as well as several appearances in popular prime-time TV shows. In 2021, Merol dropped the provocative single “Foefsafari” and “Vol,” which made its way to the Flemish charts, peaking at Number 37.
