(Paris) Stromae, whose new album is one of the most anticipated of 2022, will be the honorary president of the Victoires de la Musique, the organizers of the ceremony and its record company announced on Wednesday.

The Belgian, who will come out Multitude on March 4, succeeds Jean-Louis Aubert. He had created the event in the 8 p.m. newspaper of TF1 at the beginning of January by revealing hell. This new title of his future album speaks bluntly of “suicidal thoughts”, while the artist has recovered from a burn-out in recent years.
The ceremony of the 37are Victoires de la musique will take place on February 11 at La Seine Musicale, in the Paris region, and will be broadcast live on France 2 and France Inter from 9:10 p.m.
OrelSan and Clara Luciani are the big favourites, nominated in four categories each: artist (male and female), album, song and audiovisual creation.
These two leading artists are closely followed by Juliette Armanet and Feu! Chatterton cited respectively in three categories.
But OrelSan appears to be the essential of the hinge at the end of 2021/beginning of 2022, surfing on public and critical success.
Civilizationreleased in November (the same day as 30 by the British Adele), is the best-selling album in France in 2021 (more than 335,000 copies), according to the classification of the National Syndicate of Phonographic Publishing (Snep).
Will OrelSan do better than in 2018, when he won three Victories during the same ceremony? In any case, the artist makes the titles of his previous albums lie Lost in advance (2009) and The party is over (2017), reaching a wide audience, well beyond the rap circle.
