She made her first album together with Roland Van Campenhout, Lange Polle (Wolf Banes, Triggerfinger) and Bart De Nolf (a jazz bassist). For this album she recorded a cover of Tom Robinson's 'Listen to the radio'. The English singer was so glad with the result that he came to Belgium to perform with her. He also received a contract at the same record company (Oyster records).
In 2002 she made a second album called 'Candy Comfort'. This albums contains the, in Belgium rather popular single, 'Don't hold me back'. She recorded this song together with Stef Kamil Carlens (dEUS, Moondog Jr., Zita Swoon).
For her third album (Women Wonderland - 2006) she wanted to use a different approach. She found the solution in the use of not so all day instruments. For instance the musicians used a fortepiano, a clavichord, a Flemish harpsichord and a Jacobus Van Eynde organ. In that period she also became a mother which resulted in the song 'My last days as a girl'.
Her fourth album is called 'Robin' and saw the light in 2009. It contains the singles 'Carsong' and 'Believe'.
In 2010 Neeka is supporting the 'TE GEK' project. A project about psychiatry.

Neeka Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh no no, you'll never be acquainted
Old tears, lost voice,
she's playing
Foul play, but it's your choice,
she's waiting
Eve, you'll never be acquainted
She's faking,
she won't play it fair
She'll cash in on the profits
of her despair
But Eve, you'll never be acquainted
Eve, you'll never be acquainted
Oh no you won't
Eve, you'll never be
Eve, you'll never be
Eve, you'll never be acquainted
Eve, you'll never be
Eve, you'll never be
Eve, you'll never be acquainted
Twisted, a pretender,
she's waiting till I weaken,
defend her,
she's playing
But Eve, you'll never be acquainted
Eve, you'll never be acquainted
Oh no you won't
She'll take as much as she can get
she reings the table, places her bets
But Eve, you'll never be acquainted
Eve, you'll never be acquainted
Oh no you won't
Eve, you'll never be
Eve, you'll never be
Eve, you'll never be acquainted
Eve, you'll never be
Eve, you'll never be
Eve, you'll never be acquainted
Slow storm raging through this land
she regains her strength
Slow storm raging through this land
she regains her strength in the rain
Oh no no, you'll never be acquainted ...
