Policeman finds gold in The Netherlands

Policeman finds gold in The Netherlands

POLICEMAN, the song by Dutch singer Eva Simons featuring Konshens, has been certified gold in The Netherlands for sales of over 15,000 copies.

The song is currently number seven in that country, number one in Israel, and Suriname, and number 31 in Belgium.

Policeman is produced by Dutch musician Sidney Samson.

Born to a Dutch father and mother from Suriname, 30-year-old Simons grew up in Amsterdam and is a former member of the group Raffish.

She is a major name in European Electronic Dance Music circles. Simons had a massive dance hit in 2010 with Take Over Control (credited as Afrojack featuring Eva Simons) which sold over one million copies in the United States, and peaked at number 24 in the United Kingdom.

She has collaborated with Chris Brown, and opened for Beyonce on The Netherlands leg of her ‘Mrs Carter Show The World Tour’ in 2013.

— Kevin Jackson
