Stromae was the guest of the 8 p.m. newspaper of TF1 to talk about his new album. He evokes the birth of his son and sings a new song live.
Stromae made his first television interview in many years, this Sunday, January 9. It is the 8 p.m. newspaper of TF1 which had this honor. Anne-Claire Coudray led this interview, where the Belgian singer spoke about his new album, Multitude, but not only. He also spoke about his long break, which he started in 2015. “I needed to live“, he explained. “I had the chance to get married and to have a child who is now 3 years old. “
Yet while Stromae has been absent from center stage, nor did he completely withdraw from the music industry. He has collaborated with many artists, singing or composing. He notably mentioned Orelsan, Biglo & Oli or Dua Lipa. Stromae’s influence is immense, and many musical artists want to collaborate with him. “It did me good to work for others because the attention was no longer focused on me and I really needed that, this distance, he said. My son helps me keep this distance.“
The first concerts already sold out
Stromae has found “the desire to sing“, he revealed to Anne-Claire Coudray. Moreover, he answered his last question in song. A new track, taken from his new album, in which he talks about the feeling of loneliness that invaded him. He also reveals to have been in the grip of suicidal thoughts.. The title of this song has not been specified but it announces a darker tinge to this new opus. It will also contain influences from music from around the world, especially African.
The artist will give his first concerts in February, with three dates already full, in Brussels, Amsterdam and Paris. He will then embark on a tour where many French dates can already be expected.
