Stromae breaks borders: sings about suicide and loneliness in full French news

French television has been the scene and witness of a moment as unprecedented as it is special, starring the singer Paul Van Haver, better known as Stromae. The musician has reappeared after seven years retired from the spotlight on the ‘TF1’ chain to present his new album, ‘Multitude’, which will be published on March 4 of this year.

In that space they have conducted an interview to analyze the conception of this new work. “In your songs you talk a lot about loneliness, Does music help you to free yourself from it?“Asked the journalist Anne-Claire Coudray, presenter of the French news program TF1, one of the most followed not only nationally, but also in Europe.

It was precisely at this moment that Stromae decided to respond, but not in any way. He has done it singing what is the first ‘single’ of the album that will be released in March: ‘L’enfer’.

“I’m not the only one who feels lonely, and that’s already something. And if I counted everyone who feels like me, there would be many. I have considered suicide multiple times and I’m not proud of it. Sometimes you feel that it would be the only way to silence them, those thoughts that make me go through hell, “Stromae recited as he looked at the camera and never lost his tone, creating an overwhelming and intense moment.

A performance that the presenter has deeply thanked her. Stromae rose to fame in 2009 with the well-known song ‘Alors on danse’, a song that immediately catapulted him to fame and allowed him to make known to the world not only some of the most rhythmic and danceable melodies.

Also, very deep and hard lyrics -as is the case of ‘L’enfer’- which he pronounces as a story of what has not been an easy life by any means. In 2016, decided to withdraw from music due to mental health issues.
