Hooverphonic moved on to the 2021 contest after the 2020 edition was cancelled. However they changed the line up. Release Me vocalist Luka Cruysberghs has been thanked for her services and Alex Callier and Raymond Geerts brought back Geike Arnaert into the fold. Geike was Hooverphonic's second singer (from 1997 to 2009).

Hooverphonic started out in the Trip Hop era but later on their orchestral arrangements created a more film-score sound. They also dabbled in some psychedelica and retro-pop.
The scored 35 top 100 hits in Belgium and a few made it to other charts (5 in Italy!).
Mad About You (2000) is probably their most known song from the early era.
In 2015 they scored a #3 hit with Badaboum. Sadly not a cover of the Minouche Barelli classic but it features Émilie Satt of Madame Monsieur fame.
They have release almost 20 albums, the latest being Looking For Stars with previous (4th) singer Luka, which is their 14th top 10 album in the Belgian charts.
Looking For Stars is released on CD, LP and cassette.

ReplyDeleteThanks! Great news.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason it is not possible to order and have it sent to other countries outside Benelux
ReplyDeletehttps://www.musicmaniarecords.be/445-hooverphonic/9416-the-wrong-place/ also has it
DeleteI'm not sure about ordering in every country (they have en English language option so it would be logical) but I do know they only let you order one copy. It doesn't work when you order two or more.
ReplyDeleteI ordered my copy to Finland from musicmaniarecords.be but it's not signed copy.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Musicmania ships to Sweden
