The seventh album, The Night Before, by the Belgian band Hooverphonic marks a new period in their existence. Singer Geike Arnaert is replaced by Noémie Wolfs, after Geike quitted the band to started her own career. 

Their choice for Noémie works out pretty well, shifting between the low and high registers. The vulnerability of the pureness of her voice can be felt all over the record. The pop rock songs are a little bit more handmade for the mass, but still in a good way.
