It’s weird how some artists conquer a country and others don’t. Ben Harper is a household name in France and the US yet is relatively unknown in the UK. Another example of this is Milow.
He’s a Belgian singer-songwriter who made it big in Belgium with the number one “You Don’t Know.” He then managed to conquer the rest of Europe (excluding the UK) with his Cover of “Ayo Technology” originally by Justin Timberlake and Fifty Pence..... or whatever his name is!
I reckon that “You Don’t Know” is by far the stronger track and I just love this live version played as part of the "3voor12" sessions. He has an amazing voice and his lyrics are great.... especially considering that English is his second language. Special mention too for Tom Vanstiphout who plays dobro (that metal guitar on the front of the Dire Straits album) and provides backing harmonies. Let the music do the talking.
