Eva van Manen — support: luka

Eva van Manen, based in Rotterdam, is a songwriter, artist, and music producer who weaves together pop, electronica, and spoken word into a genre-transcending sound that balances protest and vulnerability. ‍Eva van Manen's third album Tussenruimte (April 2026) is about the longing for different forms of togetherness: platonic togetherness, romantic togetherness, and social togetherness in a fragmented world. Bringing things together is intrinsically rooted in Eva's instincts as an artist: the merging of forms and disciplines – as a producer, singer-songwriter, and poet. It is precisely this in-between space that characterizes Eva's work to date: between politics and love, between word and sound, between protest and vulnerability, humanity and nature. On Tussenruimte , Eva embraces many different influences in both style and lyrics: the silent, inner world and the rhythmic outer world. ‍The illustration on the cover shows Eva clad in her spacesuit, surrounded by sunlight and oxygen. A striking image of someone breaking free from distorted perceptions. Within that apparent contradiction, Tussenruimte operates on a nascent yet powerful field of tension, between setting boundaries and yearning for intimacy. This forms the core of the album – and the search for a shared space.
