It is with a declaration of love to her hometown that the Belgian singer Angèle has decided to make her comeback. Brussels I love you, released this Thursday, October 21 at 5 p.m. and accompanied by a clip, announces his second album. He will succeed Brol published exactly three years ago, and which, with its many hits (Murphy’s Law, Balance your what, Forget it all, I want your eyes Where Your queen) had earned him a Victory of the Revelation Album in 2019.
If we do not yet know the name of this new album, the clip indicates its release date: December 10. A tour seems to be looming for 2022 with a first date announced at the Primavera festival in Barcelona in June.
“We don’t have the towers of New York / We don’t have daylight six months in the year / We don’t have Beaubourg or the Seine / We are not the city of love (. ..) Brussels I love you, I missed you, you’re the most beautiful“, sings Angèle to a catchy (but a little banal) tune. Brussels I love you was written during the first confinement, which she spent in Paris, where she has been installed for a few years, and when she missed her hometown.
In the accompanying clip, directed by Dissidence (Sopico, Maître Gims, Rilès), Angèle appears radiant, heckling in a Paris-Brussels train inspired by the Orient Express, with more dreamlike sequences in a wagon invaded by nature .
“I like the idea of talking to a city like a lover“, decrypts Angèle in the press release.”As in a relationship, we love each other, we leave each other, we miss each other, but we never forget each other. And Brussels is a love in which I see my past and my future. I know his faults by heart and I have accepted them“, she continues.
In this title with festive and innocent airs, the 25-year-old singer also tackles the subject that annoys and tears Belgium. “And if one day she separates / And we have to choose a camp / It would be the worst nightmares / All that for a language story / I lived my best stories / In French and in Flemish“.
Since the start of the week, Angèle has been spreading clues on social networks, announcing her imminent return. On her Instagram with 3 million subscribers, an “I love Brussels” cup in hand, she said on Monday: “I think the coming week, it’s going to be coolOn Thursday, on Twitter, she said she had never waited so long for it to be 5 p.m.
