Stromae Breaks Down 'Fils de Joie,' Talks 'Multitude'

[@ojvic7297]

Crazy how this album wasn’t nominated for a grammy

[@agapewyclef6381]

I know

[@neutralfog]

It wasn't enough for a Grammy. Racine Carre was a way better album.

[@agapewyclef6381]

@@neutralfog so true,was it even nominated?

[@feels.9304]

No fair!

[@Lionelj]

Agree

[@nielshaentjens5758]

The Bridgerton sample he used is actually based on a melody by J.S. Bach, who used it twice actually: in his ‘Little Prelude in D minor’ (BWV 926) and in the ‘Well-Tempered Clavier (Book 1) - Prelude and Fugue No. 6 in D minor’ (BWV 851).

[@nielshaentjens5758]

@@moncef2466 I just listened to a lot of Bach until I found the right preludes, but I knew it was somewhere in the 'Little preludes' and the wtc.

[@heiditeresabermudezramirez1216]

I really like this artist, his presentations are incredible. He gives us a unique performance and his music is elevated, his lyrics and melodies show a real social content, allows us to listen to sounds from other corners of the planet and offers us much more than the empty lyrics and absurd phrases of pop or reggaeton, which already we are thousands who are tired of listening! That's why I've been following it for years and I love it! The musical world deserves more artists like him...! Thank you for presenting this wonderful boy on your platform, it took a long time to have him, but here he is! Thank you!!!!

[@aeonflux-mu9mt]

i hope this isn't a dig at rosalía cause i've seen so many people come for her for making a few reggaeton tracks and completely invalidating and underestimating her art. her lyrics and melodies are also amazing. her performances are outstanding, she plays instruments as well (which a lot of people aren't even aware of and judge her without knowing anything about her work). she produces most of her music herself as well which not a lot of artists do. yes, she released a few songs that were meant for dancing and for fun, but most of her music goes deep and has a lot of meaning.

[@Nagaaashi]

very well said

[@DuduLuthuli]

The most beautiful man on earth. In all ways: his mind is beautiful. his craft. his eye (and where he draws inspiration from). You can just tell that so much of what he gives to the world comes straight from the soul. I am so grateful for him. For his art - and for everyone else around him who support him in bringing out such magnificence for us to enjoy! Bravo 🤩

[@mariemilligan1723]

Thank you for giving Stromae this space to share his creative (genius) process and his take on this song. 🙏🏻 It’s interesting to hear that Spotify invested in the making of the video.

[@thejoanamendes]

first! I had the opportunity to attend one of their concerts! In Lisbon! If you catch Stromae during tour 2022/2023 please go see him live! He's amazing!

[@fernandacita]

Stop playing with us and put him on the cover @RollingStone. But also thank you for bringing back leçons de Stromae!

[@shuunya]

Totally... he is following on from Bowie but perhaps with 😊more integrity (I am British). Come on Rolling Stone = put someone on the cover who is not treading the same, boring path. There is so much music out there that you do not cover.... just caught up in the same boring American rubbish (from British, European, and lover of music from around the world).... Stromae is the greatest international star since Bjork.... promote him.... you know you wanna.

[@glazed9110]

This is the closest I've seen to getting a leçon like his series of videos back then, and I'm all for it!

[@404tita]

This is the authentique base of Brazilian funk! 🇧🇷 J'ai adoré d'être bien représentée par cette incroyable chanson ! Loved to feel represented at this powerful piece. I love how he put differents influences on his music Go Stromae ! Bravo!

[@TheRenan10000]

Here in Brazil most people actually hates "Brazilian Funk" due how the pseud-producers usually mix given rythm with lyrics talking about ass, pussy and drug dealing. Stromae in other hand managed to use the only thing which can be used from this shitty musical style what is its rhythm though.

[@404tita]

@@TheRenan10000 amigo, fale por você. Que pelo visto carrega consigo esses pré-conceitos já estabelecidos há décadas pela sociedade e até pela própria indústria... Seu discurso equivale ao da galera cringe que ainda vive acreditando que o funk só tem putaria porque o que tem acesso é apenas ao superficial, não conhece MC Sofia, Uma MC Tha, em suma, não faz pesquisa de música. Ai chega e compra esse discurso pronto e ideologia pronta que todo mundo já conhece kk e se você fizer uma pesquisa bem rasa no Google mesmo vai descobrir que a nossa população consome isso, é o tipo de música mais popular que temos. É só entrar no Spotify, amigo kkk eles até disponibilizam os números. Falar de maneira geral algo que é de uma visão muito pessoal é complicado, amigo. Beijos!

Fils de Joie is a lovely work of art. I just think the part that makes it amazing is the consistency of the beat being so fire mixed with the seriousness and meaning of the words behind the beat. Idk speaks to me on a different way! I hope he achieves the number one song in America one day! SLAYY STROMAE! 💕🎶💕🎶💕🎶
