Stromae
Stromae grew up in Etterbeek, Belgium, and became one of the few francophone artists to break through far beyond the French-speaking world. He did it by pairing sharp, often melancholy writing with big electronic production, folding hip-hop and dance rhythms into pop songs about failure, illness, family, and fame. "Alors on danse" made him a star across Europe, and he has kept that balance of heavy subjects and irresistible hooks ever since.

Racine carrée (2013). His second album is where everything clicked: "Papaoutai," "Formidable," and "Tous les mêmes" are all here, and it shows the full range of his writing, from dancefloor singles to quiet, hurting songs.
