Good Shape biography

Good Shape are the Belgian leadsinger David Cantré (born August 5th, 1970), singers Filip Vervaeke (born November 8th, 1970), and Geert De Meyer (born February 11th, 1971) and producer and leyboardist Koen De Beir (born January 8th, 1971). Geert had started his career together with Marnik D'Hoore as the duo Glad Ijs

They created a eurodance "boys band" concept, which was very unique in the field of pop and dance music in 1993. The 4 group members were all good looking to make the group's name worth it...

Their first single Take My Love scored #2 in their homeland Belgium (and remained in the charts for 23 weeks), #1 in Spain and #2 in Israel. That brought them a window of succes all over Europe. The second single was Give Me Fire, co-produced by Serge Ramaekers, reaching #7 in Spain, #27 in the Netherlands, and this time #1 in Belgium and again #2 in Israel.

In 1995 they released their single King Of Your Heart. It went #3 in Belgium, # 4 in Israel and # 20 in Spain. The last single from their debut album was I Can Love You still in 1995 and still a great eurodance track, reaching # 2 in Belgium and entering top 10 in Israel and Bulgaria. They did a tour entitled Maniacs On Stage.

In the end of 1995 they released Never Gonna Give Up, the first single from new album. Never Gonna Give Up was a a Euro-NRG song that was kind of different from their previous singles, and by that failed all over Europe even in Belgium where it reached only # 24.

Then Koen De Beir left the project in 1996. Next single was Come Closer, released the same year, and another failure in Europe. The last time we heard from them in the 90s was with the single I Will, which was another flop. After that, Filip Vervaeke went solo under the name Brent Filip and released 4 singles (the 2 first ones being produced by another former Good Shape member, Koen De Beir).

In 1997, David Cantré and Geert De Meyer created the duet B'Four. They released an album and 3 singles (Soul, Missing You and Here I Am). David Cantré married Claudia.

In 1998, Filip Vervaeke was back. The 3 remaining Good Shape members renamed the project Impact, but the 3 singles they released (U R The Real Thing, I Want You and Cherish, all of them produced by Aldo Verbeeck) did not have success.

Then David Cantré did a pause from the music business. He did not earn a cent from their biggest hit Take My Love as he was not credited on the record. He first worked as a manager for a Mobistar shop, then as a fireman in Ghent from 2001. He moved to Antwerp and in 2014 he founded painting services company Cantré Schilderwerken in Schilde.

2006 : they gathered again to perform during TV show Het Swingpaleis

2008 : Take My Love was remixed by Regi and, at the beginning of September, they performed live at the Belgian show Tien Om Te Zien.

2012 : David and Geert announced that they were searching for 2 dancers to perform with them on stage of 90s concerts. Koen was very busy with his restaurant Chez De Beir in Eeklo (even if he still owned a recording studio).

2022 : David, Koen and Geert were on stage again, along with a dancer called David who replaced Filip.

2023 : Wout covered theit hit Take My Love. They released the single Sunlight in May.
