Art has never produced style and style never art. The latest face of the New Beat Generation is the internationally known Stromae , who published in 2010 his debut album "Cheese" . With " Alors On Danse " the first single of Stromae became a huge music phenomenon which reached # 1 on the singles charts and platinum status in Germany .
And this flow continues seamlessly on STROMAE,s new and now second album "Racine Carrée" continued , which was published on 16:08:13 . In his home, Paul is already celebrated as "the new Jacques Brel ", but also the mere facts speak for themselves: "racine carrée" is now # 1 on the iTunes charts in France and Belgium , at # 8 in Belgium and also " Papaoutai", the second pre-release single, constantly rising in the German iTunes charts and has the top 10 already firmly in his sights . Along with the video " Formidable ," the first single from " racine carrée " Stromae also comes in an impressive 35 million views on YouTube . An artist - in the truest sense of the word - of superlatives.
Dimitri Kechagias review: Stromae is definitely one of the most pleasant surprises in the global pop culture. First of all he manage so cleverly to bring at the forefront the French language while everything is so monotonous English centric. Because of the world wide web English manage to become the prominent and even the most accepted language with result every other language to sound ethnic or a bit strange to our English friendly ears. Even the French Daft Punk in their Grammy awarded album used English lyrics and the ex-number 1 dj of the world French David Guetta has global success with English lyrics in his tracks. So first of all Stromae must be acknowledged for his decision to go global by singing French. His latest single Tous Les Memes that reached nearly 33.000.000 million views on YouTube. If you check out the comments on the video there are considerable amount of comments about the French language. The majority of viewers of course are really enthusiastic about the retro romantic melodies and the nice danceable rhythm along with the clever witty lyrics that describe in the most authentic way about the difficulties and antagonisms that men and women face in their everyday relationship as they struggle to understand each other and find a common code to communicate their feelings. The remix is provided by Aeroplane and must be said that is one of his best remixes so far. Old school deep house beauty with irreistable rhythm and groove that you feel obliged to follow either by tapping your feet or nodding your head or whistling it while you walk your dog at the park or by dancing to it with big wide smile in your face on the dancefloor. It's really relaxing with sunkissed melodies that radiates the nice smell of spring flowers as the earth is waking up from winter sleep. Aeroplane respects the original sounds and he builds further on them with playful optimistic atmosphere. Eclectic deep house beauty! #PureGold Love IT
