He is only 28 years old, but it is as if he had lived several lives. After a Catholic education marked by the absence of a father, the Rwandan-Belgian Paul Van Haver made his debut in fundamentalist hip-hop. His first maxi, he finances it by working in a fast food.
And then stromae popped up in the formatted world of pop with a gravity defying tube: light like a soap bubble dropped on the dancefloor, but with a black text like the last coffee of a convict to live hell. "On Danse", a world-remixed hit by Kanye West, could have summed up the career of this great teenager, like a "Born To Be Alive" years of great depression. Some good souls were predicting him the fate of "One Hit Wonder".
His first album Cheese immediately dismissed the curse, providing proof that this maestro would be present for a long time. A Victory of Music, a breathtaking tour of creativity that ended up convincing the last reluctant listeners ... The machine was launched.

However, the stromae method remains basic. No exaggeration or excessive ego. In his binder, a computer, a mini keyboard for composing and three Moleskine notebooks, one of which contains his texts and another his ideas for clips. It is with this light baggage that he enters the studio for the always difficult second album, titled "√" (square root). For the orderly side, and also for its African origins.
The buzz starts with a hidden camera stromae wandering in front of Brussels station, staggering and pathetic. A video that the media take first at first (some even go so far as to explain it by a rupture of the artist with his girlfriend) and which will become the official clip, with other shots, of this shocking single that is "Superb", live song of a man wounded, alcoholic, vulnerable. "It's never me who speaks in songs, it's a character, even if there are intimate things. I need this distance, "says stromae," I cried while writing "Super".
The song is a sweet slap, and the views explode on Youtube, peaking at 14 million after a few weeks. "With its title

"Great", it shows what should be the variety in 2013, "writes the daily Libération, rarely tender with young artists. "To compare myself to Brel is intellectual laziness," says the artist to anticipate simplistic comparisons. There was only one Brel, and there will be only one stromae.
Another flagship piece, "Papaoutai" is the result of a slow maturation. Several versions of the lyrics have been written. The first, "too personal and written in a state of anger", evoked his real father, who died in Rwanda when Paul was only twelve years old.
After these two missiles that confirm each in its own way that their author knows how to think as much as to dance, it is time to consider the album. "Do not worry, you're going to dance", we hear on the first track, "Your Feast", where we find this sour and warlike groove tinged with the stromae touch that has become his hallmark. Because stromae is not the kind of artist who will go and find the latest fashionable producer or the sound of the moment. The trend, it is he who imposes it. And even if his natural modesty prevents him from shouting on all roofs, it's a fact: the entire album "√" (square root) is written, composed, interpreted and produced by stro 'himself .
Some discreet collaborations add color notes to the master's palette: Antonio Santos 'piano and Mauricio Delgados' guitar on 'Ave Cesaria', the tribute to Cesaria Evora. Orelsan's collaboration on the adaptation of Bizet's "Carmen" and "AVF", the three-part hip-hop plan with Master Gims. The kora of Noumoucounda Cissoko on "Bastard"

"I do not play music for nerds or clubs. I make music as I hear it, groove is very important to me. And I do not find that the English language sounds better than French. And stromae proves it with texts as daring as that of "When is it? In which he plays the role of the disease of the century, cancer. "You even wanted to make me my mother, huh? / You started with her breasts / And then lungs to my father, do you remember? Polite desperate, sublimely modest, terribly just. All stromae is in this delicacy which it shows to evoke a subject which does not however lend itself to the lightness of the pop.
Now that the disc is out, that it has instantly hit the general public, stromae does not get carried away. "Celebrity is a way. The important thing is to see how the album will age. So he is preparing to turn. A tour that we imagine already as original and innovative as the one that accompanied his first album.
stromae, it turns and it's square.
