Stromae: Multitude: Piano, Vocal And Guitar

With a Rwandan father that he did not see often and a Flemish mother who single-handedly ran a household of six, Stromae was born Paul Van Haver in 1985 in Brussels. He grew up with this sometimes blurry and chaotic double identity, a relationship to himself and others that he learned to soothe through music. An innate alchemist of opposites, he found the magic formula for mixing rap, afrobeat and francophone lyrics without offending the tradition tied to one or corrupting the dance DNA that the others share. We know what came next. The albums Cheese (2010) and Racine Carrée (2013) spearheaded by the titles Alors On Danse, Papaoutai and Formidable exceeded all expectations, filled concert venues and took over dancefloors: 4 million albums were sold (including 3.5 million physical sales). Stromae received countless awards, including four Victoires de la Musique, four NRJ Awards, one MTV Award, and achieved historical feats like filling the prestigious Madison Square Garden in New York. To date, his discography has about 6.5 billion streams worldwide. Discover now the official folio of his new album " Multitude "! Having stayed loyal to the same software for 15 years, the beatmaker who was waiting to be awoken since Racine Carrée renovated his toolbox with a distinctly South American influence. In Santé, the first track, C’est Que du Bonheur and La Solassitude, Stromae switches the patterns up, leaving aside overly used ones, and humanizes the language of the machine, going so far as to introduce a string quartet and a harpsichord in Fils de Joie.
