The group composed of Edouard de Tricasse and Jean-Claude Sindress, released their debut single, the
eponymous "Bel Amour" in 2001. 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 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. 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 still 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
