Any KATE RYAN fans here?

[electro_dreem]

Does anyone know where I can find more news on Kate Ryan? The only one I know of is http://www.kateryan.be but there's not much else. She's like Kylie Minogue mixed with a little more techno/trance.... totally my style. A friend at umvd pass me along the new cd STRONGER of hers and its fresh. I like female vocals but more of a electronic sound with nice melodies but it has to be something i can dance to.

She does a nice version of Cock Robin's "The Promise"

Kate Ryan (an english version of her real Belgian name Katrien) is a dance-artist who became famous with her technopop-hit "Scream for more". She lives in a little town called Meerhout only a few miles away from my hometown. You can read more info on these links:

(Btw if you are into this kind of music, check out other Belgian groups like Lasgo, Sylver, Ian Van Dahl or definitely Milk Inc. who's leadsinger Linda Mertens lives two blocks away from me).

Have fun!

Thanks that really helped a lot. Is she planning on touring anytime soon?

[Videoskooter]

Maybe. Kate is actually in hospital and is being treated for an eating disorder and will be off for three months. However, if all goes well she'll be releasing a new record in late spring/early summer and then will go on her first tour!

You can wish her well at the official contact-adress:

[Videoskooter]

No-there's no news yet on any song or style but watch the site:

Cool site. I like her official website but it can be a hastle sometimes to navigate through.

Kate Ryan rules with her song that she took from a famous french singer Mylène Farmer, especially "DÉSENCHANTÉE" (extended club mix) and "LIBERTINE"

I luv her.

Good news for the many fans: Kate is back and goes on tour in the forthcoming weeks. She will only work during weekends and will be back in hospital during the week for further treatment. She has written many new lyrics and the production team is transforming these now into songs. So, new stuff is coming!
