Belgian singer-songwriter Tom Helsen first attracted attention after finishing second at the 1996 edition of Humo’s Rock Rally contest. He released his self-titled debut album two years later, followed by seven more long players, Cupcakes being the latest. However, he achieved his biggest hits in his home country on collaborations with Belgian dance producer Regi (Night And Day) and former Hooverphonic singer Geike Arnaert (the chart-topping Home). His single Sun In Her Eyes also crossed over to the Netherlands.

Now, Helsen has a new goal (conquering the rest of the world) and a new single. Be The One is indeed one of his best songs to date. It sounds like an up-tempo Novastar track, which is meant to be a huge compliment!
