Isn't Stromae SO cool?! What did you learn about this musical maestro? 😉

[@anamoreno5557]

he is a swiftie, a motopapi AND a billie stan!? WE LOVE

[@SylvieLaCamer]

The wonderful and creative gift he gave his wife in New York. So awesome! 🙂❤

[@rolfrolf372]

For me he is the best artist in all the world 🌎, the most different and creative star of this generation

"When you start to be a hater, maybe it's the right time to do yourself something." That's the best advice I've heard in years.

[@avforme2391]

So this is what I gather from this interview: Stromae is Belgian, who grew up around Turks, Moroccans, Congolese, and Rwandans, loves LA weather, speaks French, Flemish, Spanish and English, is inspired by Japanese, Ethiopian and South American music, collaborates with Chinese musicians, would like to work with Colombian, American and English singers, enjoyed performing in Montreal (Canada), and loves Mexican food. A real man of the world.

[@nawal10]

Haha thanks. Saved me some time

[@ouui]

I especially love him for this open mind of his ~

[@brittmartina]

Flemish not so much 😂

[@minukarodrigo]

No wonder why Sante reminded me of the music from Moroccan musicians like Omer Avital and Mexican musicians like Lila Downs

[@gitza]

@@minukarodrigo also peruvian music with "charango", he said that he inspired by the music of Bolivia, which was part of Perú years ago. I hope that he would be able to try peruvian food at some point.

It's cool to watch his English getting better over time, especially now that he's really blowing up in English-speaking countries.

[@Dyane629]

As a fairly new fan of Stromae I have to say I’m quite surprised by how incredibly down to earth, humble, honest & relaxed he seems in this video. Very impressed with multi-linguistic skills. He also doesn’t seem to take himself too seriously like some artists have a tendency to do these days. Terrific video!

[@melissacota8157]

I'm a huge fan of Stromae, I might even say I have seen almost all his interviews available. But this one has to be one of the most interesting/fun cause it seems like a very casual coffee conversation. It was a very insightful interview and learned more about my favorite artist. Merci Fuse!

[@lordpreminger]

I love how honest he is and he admits to these feelings of jealousy and hatred and turns them into good. His music is amazing and his motives even better. Merci Stromae, vous etes le meilleur chanter💯

[@tututishtosh]

That's "chanteur" - male singer. "chanteuse" - female singer

[@tututishtosh]

"chanter" is the infinitive form of "to sing"

[@easavage10]

Oh my god I could watch 2000 hours of this. He’s so real.

[@BritainToBrisbane]

Wow his English is so good. I like that he says his wife is his best friend. I saw a video of him being harassed in his car once while he was eating and he was so polite to these idiots who were being so rude. So calm. Shows what kind of a person he is. He’s so talented too. Proper artist.

[@user-gu3ie]

Thats because we dutch/Belgium people have English in our standard class package in school..we learn English before any other language

[@jwn0be]

The music is fantastic but the lyrics did me in. If you don't understand french and think Stromae is just party music... You're wrong. His raps are super real; goosebumps and tears real. I compare him (like many do and was not my idea) to Jacques Brel. Glad to have this icon back on the scene

[@m00nchxld8]

People need to translate at least some of his songs to understand how much of a mastermind he really is.. like papaoutai or tous les mêmes for example he is a genius

[@jwn0be]

@@m00nchxld8 papoutai means nothing to english speakers. it's not a word even in french but "papa ou tu est" means "dad where are you" it's about absent fathers. You are right, they should subtitle these vids

[@m00nchxld8]

@@jwn0be that's exactly what I meant it's a play on 2 words that the English speakers totally missed.. Formidable is one of my faves "tu étais formidable j'étais fort minable" ugh chef's kiss!! He is so talented.

I thought of the same thing , he’s the Modern day jacquel brel

[@equality4all]

[@svetla1star]

“… in A city called Brussels” 😂😂😂 he mentioned it as if it’s a super random city and he was explaining to aliens.

Not a lot of people can say that they're jealous. Stromae you've got real balls dude

[@mole1596]

Two things: 1. 5:47 this was SO profound that I had to think it over a couple of times 2. I’m so glad he mentioned the Montreal crowd as his favorite because I must’ve watched this concert five times and it’s seriously one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. Unfortunately, just on KZbin. Watch it ASAP if you like Stromae.

[@mohamedibrahim1549]

Such a humble & interesting person. Not gonna lie when he was asked which music video was his favorite to shoot, i thought he’d answer “Formidable” 😂 that music video was smart, simple, and incredible.

[@e.p.3051]

Incredible video for sure, but not so simple to shoot. It was in fact quite difficult and a huge risk for him to expose himself like that in public, and he has said that he felt really nervous before the shoot and even depressed after...So yeah, an extraordinary music video but not his favourire to shoot!🙂😅

[@amneshgrewal1243]

This video just made me a bigger fan of Stromae. He is so kind, humble, and honest. I have a great deal of respect of him as an artist. Praying he gets his collab with Adele.

[@nemoyVor]

Stromae is genius. His music is so good and he is humble and kind guy 🤙🏼👍🏼

[@fasileyayu]

Wow he mentioned Ethiopian music. I didn't see that coming. I'm thinking about it now he might took some inspiration from our gem artist, aster aweke.

[@chucku00]

Dont forget Mulatu Astatke.

[@timetravelingjukebox]

It surprised me too! I'm so happy to see our music become more known!! There are so many amazing Ethiopian artists to get inspiration from!

[@mateomadariaga8402]

5:50 i've never seen an interview that touches this topic, the bad aspects of being a human being and accepting that you are wrong but can change direction, i appreciate Stromae for being so honest here, each time i learn more about him i realise he is an incredible artist, really someone to look up to!
