In a list of Dutch women who have become very well-known and popular in Germany, it doesn't take long to come across Ilse DeLange. At the Eurovision Song Contest 2014, the singer, along with Dutch singer Waylon as The Common Linnets, secured second place in Copenhagen with their hit "Calm After The Storm," narrowly losing to Conchita Wurst. Since that performance, the name Ilse DeLange has been on everyone's lips. With the exception of her second album "Livin' On Love" (No. 5), all of her first seven albums debuted at No. 1 on the Dutch album charts. Eight Edison Awards as the best Dutch singer since 1998, six number 1 albums in her home country, 1.8 million records sold, and a total of 15 platinum certifications attest to the tremendous success of her career. In 2024, Ilse DeLange will be seen live at seven concerts in Germany.

But DeLange is not only successful in the Netherlands: her album "Changes," released in 2020, debuted at No. 14 in Germany and remained on the German album charts for 11 weeks. The Dutchwoman, who speaks fluent German, is also a welcome guest on TV. In addition to her work as a coach on "The Voice Of Holland" (2013 & 2014), she was seen on German TV in 2020 as a participant in the 7th season of "Sing meinen Song – Das Tauschkonzert" and in 2021 as a music patron in the KiKa songwriting competition "Dein Song." That same year, she participated in the 14th season of the RTL show "Let’s Dance" along with Evgeny Vinokurov. In 2022, she was part of the jury on "Deutschland sucht den Superstar."

Born in Almelo, the Netherlands, Ilse DeLange found her musical roots in country music. When her first number 1 album "World Of Hurt," produced in Nashville, was released in 1998, DeLange was only 21 years old. Her sound—American, dreamy, and filled with youthful ease—strikes a chord and holds a place in the Dutch Top 100 for 138 weeks. In her home country, "World Of Hurt" achieved platinum status five times. However, it wasn't until 2008 that she landed her first number 1 single with the song "Miracle" from the album "Incredible." The track—a minimalist ballad supported by piano, strings, and Ilse DeLange's gentle vocals—displays her music's captivating and emotional pop-rock side. Her current album "Changes," however, has partially moved away from the country sound of her early days. With driving beats, melodic acoustic guitar, and modern sound design, the title track "Changes" delivers an engaging pop anthem that provokes thought and captivates with an explosive chorus.

With her current singles "Quiet" and "Confetti Shotgun," 46-year-old Ilse DeLange showcases a modern side that subtly still hints at the singer's country roots but is complemented by a driving indie-pop sound and electronic beats that invite you to dance. At its center, her unique voice remains, having matured over the years and now sounding even more irresistible and catchy than before.
