Man, I love Stromae. I'm not really following his career but I know quite a few of his songs - they're all awesome. He's been around for a long time, too. I think I heard him the first time back in 2009 with Alors on danse - at least that's my earliest memory of him.

@@nickforell1 He left the spotlight for like 6 years after a bad reaction ftom lariam medicine, followed by mental struggles. He came back from retirement unexpected, last year with L'enfer being the second single he dropped, started a highly succesfull American tour (my man sold out Madison Square Garden twice!), but now recently had to cancel shows on his European tour till the end of May. Little is known about the circumstances but it's fair to say he is most likely not doing well again.

First time I'm watching one of your reaction video. I'm really impressed by your comments and insight and the way you understood the song. Stromae is one of a kind. He often plays with words, so the translated lyrics are less powerful but you still get the message. He usually has upbeat songs with powerful lyrics. There are many songs you can react to, like Cancer (with word play), Papaoutai, Carmen or Formidable.

He wrote all of his song, all are so personal and strong. Love him, with every time such a strong video to feel all the emotions. This song is about a medicine he took against paludism in 2015 during his African tour. The medicine, the effect of the Lariam create a psychic decompensation to him and he have to stop his career for 5 year and suffer of anxiety and suicidal tough… he still suffering but so happy to see him again sharing some struggle like that, struggle sometimes are taboo but need to be heard.

@JanTJaeckx 11 ай бұрын

He writes and produces the music, writes the lyrics, designs the costumes and artwork, makes the choreopgraphies and produces the videos himself. Can't trust anyone else to do anything for if you're a genius i guess. Besides that he's really friendly and cool. Too bad he's suffering from health issues he had to cancel half his tour again. :(

I found your channel because of your NF journey. But as a francophone I'm really excited that you reacted to Stromae. He is amazing. I encourage you listen to his songs on your own even if you don't react to them. You may recognize a collab he did with Kanye. Don't worry about the translations, Stromae has said that the emotion of music is universal, you don't necessarily need to be fluent in the language being sung to appreciate the artistry. Interesting you said bird trapped in a cage... He has a social media critique to the tune of L'amour est un oiseau rebelle from Bizet's Carmen worth reacting to. Santé!

Whats good to know. Belgium has three languages, Dutch in the north, French in the south and a little German in the west of the country. Brussels is 80% French speaking. Stromae is a French speaking Belgium artist. And what is good to know further is that the French language has a lot of double sense in words and sentences "double sense" the call it in French. And that makes the text powerful. But Stromae is more then that. The tension in the music, performance and for dance. All together very powerful artist. And I like a lot his androgynity.

I know you posted this 2 years ago, but I really like your reaction as a person and a professional in the mental health sector. I have goosebumps every time I hear it, it grips you... I think it's also the white voice singing (common in Eastern Europe, the singers here are Bulgarian I think). It's a very raw style of singing (check out "Shum" by Ukrainain "Go_a" for another example I like). Or google "white voice singing". As to his interesting look: He us mixed race. He is half Belgian, half Rwandan. His Dad was killed on the genocide in the 90s. Stromae this year had to stop his world tour due to his health. Stromae is an anagram of "Maestro".

You really should listen to Quand C’est by stromae too. It is an older one but it is amazing !

@alienews0 Жыл бұрын

first thing 1st about the meaning of his name, it's a common street thing in french countries (stromae is from belgium) to use what we call "verlan" which is what you hear if u loop the french word "l'envers" which means backwards (in reverse order). So if it was a thing in english too it would be called "wardsback". So now u get it : stromae means maestro. Also i wanted to point out how meaningful the video clip is. First time i heard the song after a little digging i learnt it was about a depression he had a few years before. But after seeing the video clip with that epanadiplosis on the eye, i think that the depression he is describing is deeper : after his final fight against his dark thoughts he is just back in his initial state (meaning of this epanadiplosis in my mind) because existencial questions are inherent to the human kind and one never gonna totaly solves them.. So yeah Stromae is not just a singer, he is IMHO a natural tormented artist, both in his work and his vision of what life is.

@bassieforpresident 11 ай бұрын

if no one mentioned before, Stromae is an anagram for Maestro which could not be closer to the truth. You should definitely check other videos, Quand C'est and Formidable to start with. Fingers crossed for Stromae who is going through hard times again now.

@yancorthesy432 Жыл бұрын

I'm glad you've made a reaction for this music, I find it so clear and non judgemental about depression. If you'd like to listen to other french speaking artists, I'd advise Orelsan with "Notes pour trop tard" ("Notes for too late"), "Basique" ("Basic") and "L'odeur de l'essence" ("The smell of gasoline"), he's one of the most famous french rapper and has some really great tracks. And also Gael Faye a french rapper/singer with "Tôt le matin" ("Early in the moring") and "Petit pays" ("Small country"), his style is a bit similar to Stromae's style and he's a really talented writer. I hope everyone is having a great day/night, a lot of love to anyone who need it !

Stromae is a genius! But as we all know, being a genius can be like dancing on two parties at the same time - heaven and hell. And this is what Stromae is talking about. He was top of the tops years ago, and then he went through hell. Oh I forgot: Being genius can also mean sharing his nightmares with us. Do you know an artist of that format? I don't.

I have a slightly different interpretation to the guilt trip channel lyric - it's not about feeling guilty that you caused the atrocities, it's feeling guilty that you are depressed when you "have it so good". Look at all these poor war displaced people, and you, who lives in a safe country with all the opportunities in the world, are depressed? Shame on you...
