Strange Fruit is the second solo album by Trijntje Oosterhuis and was released on March 22, 2004. Trijntje's solo debut album was well received, however it consists mainly of ballads and she had a personal fondness for Jazz instead of pop ballads. In 2004 she managed to sign a record deal with Blue Note.

During 2003 Trijntje made a tour with the Amsterdam Sinfonietta and the Houdini's playing covers of Billie Holiday and George Gershwin.[1] Trijntje decided to record the January 7, 2003 concert in the Concertzaal in Tilburg and the January 8, 2003 concert in Stadsgehoorzaal in Leiden and release it as an album. The album was named after Billie Holiday's song "Strange Fruit."

Strange Fruit was very well received, received critical acclaim and Trijntje finally managed to gain notoriety beyond The Netherlands. It was released outside the Netherlands under the artist name Traincha.[1] The album has been certified two times Platinum [2] and peaked at number 2 on the Dutch album charts.[3]
