Less than a year ago, then 17-year-old Ibe Wuyts won the Flanders edition of TV talent show ‘The Voice’. This earned him a sum of 25.000 euro, a new car, and a record contract. His debut single Table Of Fools, released within a week after his victory, became a huge hit in Belgium. Last week, IBE was also given a Belgian Music Industry Award for ‘Breakthrough of the Year’. And right after the show, he was presented with a platinum award for Table Of Fools.

Great timing then, for the release of his new single Perfect Storm. This time, it’s a song which shows quite a different side of IBE, who turned 18 in January. It’s a mid-tempo stomper. The piano is still a centre-piece, but the drums provide it with a rhythmic base. Perfect Storm even contains a real stadium break. It won’t be long before IBE is successful enough to sell out stadiums, where he can apply this trick on the audience.
