Editor's note

Ilse DeLange, the Dutch singer with a direct voice

From local choirs to Eurovision, her songs like 'I Need for You' keep things plain and clear.

For a good sense of her style, try 'I Need for You' or 'All I Got To Give.' They're straightforward, no fuss.

She started in a band called Cash on Delivery, but her solo career really clicked with the 2003 album 'World of Hurt.' That title track became a major hit in the Netherlands. Then in 2014, she and Waylon won Eurovision with 'Calm After the Storm,' bringing the trophy back home after decades.

She formed her first band after singing in local choirs as a teenager. Her solo work took off with 'World of Hurt' in 2003, and she's released albums like 'The Great Escape' and 'Incredible' since.
