Tom Dice is a Belgian singer-songwriter, who finished second in the Flemish version of The X Factor in 2008. Dice represented Belgium in the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 final on 29 May in Oslo. Tom Dice ended up in sixth, one of Flanders best placements ever in the contest. Dice was also the first Belgian act to qualify for the final since the introduction of the semifinals in Eurovision.

He just released his second album called “Teardrops” including the song “Me And My Guitar”. The music reminds a lot of Milow. The voice of Tom Dice is great, very poppy and the songs are all very catchy. Some songs include very strong piano playing. All songs are perfect for being played on the radio. Somehow the song “Carry Our Burden” sounds like I’ve heard it before but I can’t find out where and why. Maybe it just sounds like another familiar song. When listening to Tom Dice’s album “Teardrops” easily moves to the background of your mind though. It is more like the album is following you on your journey through life rather than active listening. The music is very mainstream and so is the album layout. If you like Milow you will definitely love this album.
