Ladies of Soul


The Ladies of Soul are a Dutch supergroup consisting of Candy Dulfer, Berget Lewis, Glennis Grace and Edsilia Rombley. Trijntje Oosterhuis, also a founding member, left in 2017 to focus on her solo-career.

The Ladies of Soul, already connected through relatives and friends, were first brought together in 2012 for a series of Whitney Houston-memorial-concerts in 2012. These were organised by Tjeerd Oosterhuis, Trijntje's producer brother and Rombley's husband. Other singers also appeared at the concerts, but none of them (Do, Leona Philippo and Tania Kross) ended up joining the Ladies of Soul. Only Philippo, a Voice of Holland-contester at the time, was invited as a special guest.

In November 2013 they issued a single, I'll Carry You, as a teaser for their first two shows at Amsterdam's Ziggo Dome on 13 and 14 February 2014. These were recorded for cd- and dvd-release. Thus setting the blueprint for subsequent editions; three shows in Amsterdam plus one in Belgium at Antwerp's Lotto Arena featuring Natalia Druyts as special guest. Oosterhuis only missed the Antwerp show in 2016, and announnced her departure after the 2017 leg which completely sold out. Although her solo-career no longer fits the Ladies of Soul's overall image, Oosterhuis will make a guest-appearance at the 5th anniversary-shows on March 23 and 24, 2018.
