Stromae was out of the music world after a 200 concert tour, ending in Rwanda where he father had been killed. He had a burn out/depression + problem with anti-malaria meds. He has only come back after, what 7/8 years. Whatever, he is back again with an incredible album and hopefully he has got over his depression. Pure genius !

He also credits his brother with saving his life. His brother was the one who noticed the dramatic change in his behaviour and his vigilance led him to make the link to the malaria drugs.

Stromae is a fucking genius man. One of the rare french speaking artist that can rival the best artists at the world level. I'm a big hip hop head but I'm a music fan first and what I like in rap / hip hop is the lyrical tour de force that some artists can do and this genre is perfect for that. But in some languages it's way more difficult to do so. And in French especially, it's difficult because of the way the language is structured. French poetry has a different taste because of that. And Stromae is the perfect example of that. Sitting on the shoulders of giants like Jacques Brel but with the modern approach of lyricism. And that's not even touching the genius of the music and visual composition. Clearly a once per generation type of artist
@phrenib.72362 жыл бұрын
Yes, I also love that he has no boundaries regarding style. He is a poet like the old chansonniers, but musical flexibility, knowledge and ability to combine trditional music, pop, rap, electro and whatever comes to his mind. And the visual elements are also very inspiring. The artistic cooperation with his brother and wife and the equal focus on the musicvideos reminds me of billie eilish and her brother, and I would love to see a cooperation between the van haver and eilish households. 😃

C'est que tu ne connais pas la chanson française....ils sont nombreux à avoir été des stars au niveau mondial (et la planète ne se résume pas aux Etats Unis !)... Piaf, Claude François, Mireille Mathieu, Aznavour, Manu chao, gypsy king, Hallyday, Daft punk, etc.... Le problème dans la chanson française c'est que les textes amènent à réfléchir, et ça c'est pas le truc des américains 😂.

You would have discovered him anyway, he's all around. Definitely worth checking out his latest 'Fils de Joie', which tackles the subject of dehumanizing sexual workers, 'Quand C'est' with the cancer topic, 'Carmen' with social media issues, and not to forget 'Papaoutai' concerning the loss/absence of a father. Have fun with these! You won't be disappointed!! Greeting from Belgium.

When he first released this one I cried watching the MV since it was like him speaking on a reality that been kinda living in for a while and just having it kinda put out to was a little cathartic in a good way since it was like having all the internal stuff finally coming out. Like how he is hitting his head and fighting with himself a bit is like how I often see myself as well internally alot and I just love how real he gets with his music like so many other songs from this new album and from his older ones just have some really good lyrics.

Stromae est un très grand artiste belge qui ne laisse jamais rien au hasard. Il est la relève de Jacques Brel, un autre artiste qui a porté la Belgique au plus haut dans les années 70. Les américains auraient beaucoup à apprendre des chanteurs français et belges, au niveau musical mais surtout au niveau des textes.... Stromae, brel, brassens, Ferré, Saez, piaf, Barbara, Gainsbourg, etc.... Il y en a tellement !

The actual impromptu reactions of lashing out physically wasn’t written in the music video. But was, an emotional reaction Stromae had to the frustration of struggling with feelings building up. And the zooming out of him as a figure, signals that he still feels small and alone with those feelings.

I think the part of the lyrics about the channel is a metaphore for depression and our brain, and how certain thoughts keep coming back on a loop. It's like being stuck on the guilt trip channel and having no remote to change it, you just sit there and watch it, helpless to take your mind off those things. You can try thinking about something else for a time, but eventually something will trigger you back to reality. People who can't switch the channel just want to turn the TV off already, another metaphore for suicide perhaps.

Montreal knows to show him the love. For a shorter, fun one to react to, check Stromae in Formidable.

(con't) doing fashion design, Stromae is back on tour. Check out his brilliant Racine concert, it will give you a feel for if you might enjoy his show. I have been wondering if reaction vids would get on to him. 294 million views, one video version of one song, and so few in the west know of him. Bizarre. Whatever, cheers and enjoy, his talents are to be discovered, studied, savoured, feared. He will not let you sit and listen passively, his lyrics to deep, they confront you, dare you, compel you, to journey with him beneath the crafted veneer that humanity agrees upon, into the mysteries and compulsions that are the domain of the ghost in the machine. Kanye, Madonna, Missy, tried to scout him, but he refused their demand to sing/rap in English. I can only respect him more for saying no. Many, many would be pop stars would have a hard time saying no to those people, they would say, do, whatever they are told, if it meant a pop star career in America. Not Stromae. Going through his catalogue is truly a treat, if you enjoy him, look to see if he is doing a show near your town.

Papaoutai, Formidable, Tous Les mêmes and Quand c'est are other gems of him. And his latest single dropped 3 days ago and is currently at 5.3m views: Fils de joie (Son of joy) and the mv depicts the State funeral of a sex worker in a ficticious country!

The pronunciation of Stromae would be /Straw.my/ because it's from the word Maestro. He is indeed the maestro because he's always educating his listeners about different cultures. For instance in this track L'enfer, Stromae collaborated with the Bulgarian Orenda Trio, they're the powerhouse behind the recurring choral polyphonic chanting.
