Duurt Te Lang
The moment supreme from Beste Zangers. She took a rap song by Glen Faria and transformed it into a soulful power ballad that touched all of the Netherlands. In the Top 2000, her highest and most iconic charting.
The despair and frustration in her voice are palpable. She makes the lyrics ("I've been standing here for a while") into a universal story about routine and helplessness.
It was the starting shot of her superstar status and remains her finest vocal performance.
Hoe Het Danst (with Marco Borsato & Armin van Buuren)
A monster hit that dominated the summer of 2019. Armin provides the trance influences, Marco the Dutch sentimental note, and Davina steals the show with the powerful chorus.
Her high notes in the climax elevate the song to another level. It's a perfect mix of three completely different worlds that come together in a euphoric tearjerker.
What About Us
The cover of P!nk that started it all. While it's a cover, this performance is essential to her career. P!nk's reaction ("That is better than I will ever sound") went around the world.
Davina strips the song and rebuilds it with her own vocal acrobatics. It shows the pure potential of her voice in all its glory.
Skyward
Her first big hit after the cover success. An anthem about ambition and not letting yourself be stopped. "I'm going skyward."
The production is tight and international. The chorus is an explosion of positivity. The song confirmed she was no one-hit wonder, but an artist with her own repertoire.
17 Miljoen Mensen (with Snelle)
A live performance that went viral and became a number 1 hit. A rewritten version of the classic Davina song, adapted to corona times and solidarity in the Netherlands.
The combination of Snelle's rap and Davina's high notes works surprisingly well. It's a historic snapshot of a bizarre time, full of emotion and national pride.
Beat Me
Written for the Formula 1 Grand Prix of Zandvoort. It's an aggressive, pumping track that breathes speed and competition. The beat pounds and the guitars scream.
"You can't beat me." The lyrics are pure bravado. It's one of her hardest songs, full of adrenaline and fighting spirit. A perfect soundtrack for top sport.
Better Now
An emotional pop-rock ballad about looking back at a relationship and realizing it's okay to move on. The melody is grand and compelling.
Davina's voice is at its strongest here. She sings the high notes with an ease that's enviable. A song made for big stadiums and waving lights.
Hyper
A fast-paced, nervous song that does justice to its title. The beat is compelling and the vocals are rhythmic and fierce. It's about the unrest in your head and the pressure to perform.
It's modern and different from her usual power ballads. The energy is bouncing and intense, perfectly suited to the message of mental unrest.
Sweet Water
A track that starts with a raw rock intro and ends as a grand pop chorus. The song is about finding rest in yourself amid chaos.
The production is bold and full of energy. It shows her preference for rock music well. A song that live gives a huge energy boost.
No Angel
A catchy pop song where she settles accounts with the idea that she needs to be perfect. The beat is tight and danceable, with a bold attitude.
Davina sounds here playful and self-confident. It's a nice, uncomplicated song that shows she can just have fun without heavy themes.
