Fun fact, before the video was published... Belgian & French tabloids news broke out with articles on how "Stromae was totally drunk in Brussels..." then just a day later the video aired. Maestro move :D
Wait tïll you've seen a live performance of him. He even elevates the level of his MV. This video was shot with hidden cameras so no one in Belgium was aware at first this for a video. So it made the news that Stromae had falĺen off and was spotted drunk out of mind in Bruxelles. A few days later the record label came clean and released press release it was all for his latest video. He's a master in everything he does. I feel you might appreciate Juice WRLD as well. Often mistaken by old cats for a mumblerapper but a freestyle legend on his way to becoming the biggest thing, taken way too soon.
That was probably his biggest marketing trick, he tricked the whole world to think he was drunk on the street for a moment before making us feel stupid about judging him by releasing the vidéo.
Finallly you reacted to this one. I have requested this one and Ave Cesaria for a long time. Thanks for the reaction. Please react to Stromae- Ave Cesaria also. You will love that one too. Its one of his best songs according to me.
You could try and have a listen to Loïc Nottet as well, he's another interesting young artist from Belgium, with interesting videos ( albeit in a very different genre, both musically and visually). You might want to start with "Million Eyes" ( the official video, the dude got moves), moving on to "Mud Blood" or "29".
I have to say something, since i saw your 1st Video a week ago. You two are such a nice and awesome couple, everytime i wach your videos i have a smile on ma face. Stromae has some old videos online, where he show how to compose these songs. Nothing to react to but when you like his songs its defenitly something nice to watch and understand his style of making musik. Search, stromae - Lecon so you find some of his old songs and how he composed them, f.e. 19 ist peace or violence.
Stomaë is a real big artist... He's a good actor, but mainly a lover of French language.... This song is crazy and my favorite one, the music is very good, also the video, but the lyrics are so awesome, he really has a good opinion about human beings, it's so crazy... Everything is perfect in this song, my favorite one from him... I have so respect for him and I thank you for your respect too. Really a beautiful reaction and love from France 🇫🇷😘
Such a great artist! From my Land and from my city ! Long live Belgium, long live Brussels! Another great belgian artist, Loïc Nottet with a million eyes 😃
Great reaction !! I like it !! 🙂 Now, I think it's the right time to have a look at "Stromae's public birth" with his 1st huge success "Alors on danse". Again with a very catchy beat but a strong meaning behind 🙂
if you like Stromae do check out his inspiration, the famous Belgian poet/singer Jacques Brel. "ne me quitte pas" and "ces gens la" are great songs and their connection will be obvious.
Hi! New subscriber here, I stumbled upon one of your Rammstein reactions earlier today and I've been watching your videos for, like, 3 hours now ^^ To me there are two artists who are on a completely different level: Aurora and Stromae. I haven't watched your Aurora reactions yet but I plan to remedy that right away ;) I just want to say I absolutely love your attitude and your chemistry, you guys are awesome! If you're up for a longer format video, you could react to Stromae's KEXP performance, you'll get (very good) live versions of a couple songs you have heard, a couple you haven't, and small bits of interesting interviews in between. If you don't want to do that as a reaction video I still recommend watching it at some point ;)
Hey! I'm only seeing this now, I watched your Rammstein reactions and i haven't seen you in a while, so I'm wondering how you are. I hope all is well. :) The song tells the story of his break-up with his girlfriend because he was sterile and couldn't have children, according to the lyrics. I like the word play on "formidable" and "fort minable". And yes, he's pretending being drunk. It's filmed with a hidden camera.
