Stromae signs its surprise return with “Santé” – RTL.fr

This Friday, October 15, 2021 is placed under the sign of shattering returns! It is not only Adele who returns with a new song today, the Belgian Stromae also gives his audience a little surprise. The singer released – without warning – a brand new song.

We knew that the artist of 36 years had gone back to work. Several festivals next summer (the performer of Then we dance, Papaoutai Where Awesome was announced at Rock en Seine, the last weekend of August 2022.) have even been confirmed in recent days. But, he hadn’t announced anything about this comeback. Not a clue on his social networks. Paul Van Haver – whose real name is – is, as we know, a marketing genius.

This morning he published his first unpublished since Scroll in 2018, a nearly 9-minute track-river designed to accompany a clothing collection. But, this is – in truth – his first real song since August 2013 and the release of his second album. Square root stratospheric success, 2 million copies sold in France alone. No artist has done better since. This tube factory had taken him for two years on stages in Europe and the United States. There, he had performed in 2015 at Coachella, the biggest festival in the world and Kanye West had even joined him on stage for Then we dance. Stromae had also passed through Africa, to Rwanda, the country of origin of his father, who was killed there in 1994 during the genocide.
