Edwina van Kuyk is an Irish/Dutch pop-soul artist residing in County Limerick. Today she releases her very first single, 'Hurt for Me' which is an acoustic pop-soul track featuring her soulful vocals and rich harmonies intwined with piano and cello. A little reminiscent of Gabrielle Alpin: ‘Miss You - Piano Version’ in tone and nostalgia, this poignant track was composed and arranged by the artist herself during the initial lockdown period of the pandemic.
Edwina collaborated far and wide for this project. From her hometown in Limerick, to the UK, and even New Zealand. 50% of the proceeds of the track from 2020 will go directly to MASI (The Movement of Asylum Seekers in Ireland).
When asked about her inspiration behind ‘HURT FOR ME’, Edwina stated honestly: "I find myself feeling helpless much of the time because of what is going on in the world right now. I want to help bring awareness and raise funds for charities such as MASI which are providing support to those in direct provision. However big or small, I would like to contribute. And if I can use my music to do that, even better."
