Stromae is a real character: often elusive for the media, he offers magnificent songs with generally very strong lyrics. Recently, his performance on the 8 p.m. news had caused a lot of talk, as he recounted his sorrows and fears during his burnout. But the 36-year-old Belgian also wrote a song Sons of Joywhich tells the story of a prostitute’s child and was inspired by an unexpected show!
Indeed, when he was asked about his inspiration for this title by The Parisianhe explained that it came to him from a program of France 2. “She comes from the show Ca commence today. My wife looks at it a lot and I like it too. Faustine Bollaert once received sex workers and their child and it touched me“.
The singer explains that he therefore wanted to “tell a story like that, to music combining baroque and the rhythms of the favelas“. A beautiful tribute to this program, thanks to his wife Coralie, who finds extremely touching subjects every day and to his presenter, Faustine Bollaert, who welcomes her guests without ever judging them. Always very empathetic, Maxime Chattam’s wife was moved by Stromae’s message.
“I discovered his song at the AccorHotel Arena last week. She had echoed one of my shows. In the end it was the other way around. Pride ….“ she tweeted. Internet users, for their part, totally agreed with Stromae, thanking the presenter for offering the floor to people who bring positive messages every day.
