As a singer, Belgian Niels Delvaux calls himself Delv!s. Musically, the only resemblance with The King is that his songs make your hips shake.

I saw Delv!s perform live at showcase festival Eurosonic Noorderslag last Thursday, where he brought in some horns for extra emphasis on the funky elements in his songs. In this composition the band would be a great addition to many a festival next summer.

His debut single Come My Way is a perfect example. If you like, say, Justin Timberlake, Maroon 5 and Jamiroquai, Delv!s is a no brainer. In three words, he sounds like a Belgian Bruno Mars.
