Belgium - What's The Pressure - Laura Tesoro.

2nd digital release image (April 15)
10 - 181 pts / 3 - 274 pts in semi 2

19 year old Laura Tesoro represents Belgium at the 2016 contest. Her song, What's The Pressure, won the 5 song national Final Eurosong organised by the Flemish broadcaster VRT één.
What's The Pressure is written by Sanne Putseys, Louis Favre, Birsen Uçar and Yannick Werther.
Putseys and Favre worked together in the popular Belgian band Selah Sue.

What's The Pressure, Laura's third single has already been released (digital) and entered the Flemish charts at 41, going to 2 the next week.
A 1 track promo in a press folder was used for the press in Stockholm.

What's The Difference?
A new version was recorded for Eurovision.
The ESC version (2:53) is a little bit shorter, deleted a bar at 1:50 and has some changed lyrics round the 2 minute mark. Nothing spectacular of course, but that's how we roll at the Stockholm Collection.
The original version (2:59) can also be found on Belgian hits CD MNM Big Hits 2016 Vol. 1. (Sony Music). And our Laura even got her picture on the front so Justin Bieber is in good company (pic below).
The new Eurovision version is on the Stockholm 2CD.
Now get working on that Club Mix.....
