Beautiful Lie and other songs such as Feel Alive , By Tonight or Everlasting Now not only made it onto the worldwide dance floors with the help of the DJ scene, but also received support from radio stations in several countries such as Greece, Italy, Brazil, Bulgaria, Portugal, Spain and Russia, which means that Klein was able to count himself among the very small group of internationally successful German singers.
