History

The group released their debut single, the eponymous "Bel Amour" in 2001, which sampled The Mystery With Me by Jo Bisso. The Tommy Boy single release contained fives mixes of the song, including an instrumental, ranging in length from five to eight minutes. Allmusic's Jason Birchmeier was complimentary of the original radio edit of the song, writing that "though brief, this edit includes all of the song's vocals, making this dancefloor anthem into a succinct dance-pop single." The track, which mixes a male vocal with a filtered disco backing, generated buzz at the 2000 Winter Music Conference in Miami Beach, Florida. The single peaked at number 23 in the United Kingdom, and also charted in France and Switzerland in 2001. It entered the Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs chart the following year.

A follow up single, Promise Me was released in 2003.

Bel Amour have also remixed for Phats & Small (This Time Around in 2001) and David Guetta (Love Don't Let Me Go in 2002).

In subsequent years, Edouard De Tricasse has occasionally performed under the name Bel Amour, Jean-Claude Sindress is a music writer, having written several songs with David Guetta, including Gettin' Over You and Sexy Bitch. Franck Keller Jr. is still a DJ, his most famous work being 'Vegas' in 2008. In 2011, a vinyl named 'Bel Amour 2K11' was released in the Netherlands.
