Kate Ryan's dance-pop hits across Europe

A Belgian singer who turned Mylène Farmer's "Désenchantée" into a European chart hit in 2002.

If you only know one, it's "Désenchantée," but "Free" or "Hands Up" give you the full picture. Both are exactly what she does well.

Kate Ryan's version of "Désenchantée" broke her across Europe, and she kept that momentum with tracks like "Free" and "All For You." Her sound is straightforward, upbeat synth-pop, often in French or English, built for radio and clubs. Songs like "Hands Up" and "Broken" have stayed in rotation long after their release.

She started with that cover in 2002, working with producer Phil Wilde until 2004 on albums like "Different" and "Strong." Later singles such as "La Promesse" and "Je T'adore" kept her in the same dance-pop lane, with occasional collaborations like one with Armin van Buuren.

Her early work was produced by Phil Wilde, though they parted ways in 2004. She released albums like "Different" and "Strong" during that period. Later tracks such as "La Promesse" and "Je T'adore" showed her continuing in a dance-pop vein, with occasional collaborations like one with Armin van Buuren.
