Strange Fruit is the second solo album by Trijntje Oosterhuis and was released on March 22, 2004 on Blue Note records. Trijntje's solo debut album was well received, and consisted mainly of pop ballads not reflective of her personal fondness for jazz.

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, with Trijntje gaining 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]
