A new song and a new music video; teen pop group NXT is releasing the single "Samen alleen" (Together Alone), created in collaboration with Kinderpostzegels (Children's Postage Stamps) and singer-songwriter Danique (26). A song about loneliness with a hopeful message: no one has to face it alone! Research by Kinderpostzegels shows that 1 in 10 children feels lonely often to always. That's why NXT and Kinderpostzegels want to draw attention to this important issue and to all those children who feel lonely with "Samen alleen." The single and music video tie in with the theme of the 2025 Kinderpostzegels campaign and are now available to watch and listen on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, and other streaming services.
BNNVARA presenter Raïsha Zeegelaar: "NXT dares to address current issues in a way that suits them well. Not preachy, but relatable. "Samen Alleen" is one of those songs that resonates and connects. We're incredibly proud of that."
Singer-songwriter Danique shares music, personal stories, and vlogs on her social media. She experienced loneliness firsthand in her youth, and now she uses her creativity to discuss vulnerable topics. With "Samen alleen" (Together Alone), she uses her writing talent to encourage young people.
Danique: "I know how hard it is when it feels like no one truly understands what you're going through. If I'd known then that I wasn't the only one, it could have made a huge difference. So I'm grateful that I can give the young people who are feeling this way now something I missed back then. Hopefully, this will help them realize a little more that they're not alone, but alone together."
