the coronations of the Belgians Angèle and Stromae

Belgium honored at the 38th Victoires de la Musique ceremony. Friday February 10, at La Seine Musicale, in Boulogne-Billancourt (Hauts-de-Seine), Angèle and Stromae were crowned female and male artists.

Caen rapper Orelsan, 40, was the other big star of the evening. He won three new Victoires de la musique: laureate for the clip of “The quest”, the song of the year for this same title and the concert of the year. He now overtakes Johnny Hallyday and Alain Souchon, with 12 awards against 10. He is only one length away from the record of 13 trophies, co-held by -M- and Alain Bashung.

Two Victories for Angèle

Sacred female artist, the 27-year-old Belgian Angèle now has five Victories in her career. Friday, February 10, she was also distinguished as the most streamed female artist for a record (“Nonante-Cinq”).

Something to reassure the artist who was asking himself questions despite his previous successes. His first opus “Brol” had nevertheless sold 1.5 million copies and three Victories have since been enthroned on his trophy cabinet.

“There is more doubt than before,” she confided to AFP in the summer of 2022. In her early days, she was going “a bit headlong, whatever happens”. “My return with ‘Nonante-Cinq’ was seen as that of a great confirmed artist: it’s very flattering, but very creepy”. “As if I had no room for error, when in fact it’s only my second album, my second tour,” she confided. His concerts which proved that the link with the public is still very present. On December 3, 2022, she celebrated her 27th birthday on stage in front of 40,000 spectators at Paris La Défense Arena.

The singer Stromae was crowned male artist for the second time at 37 years old. After a long break caused by a burn-out, he resumed his flight with the album “Multitude”. “I’m still a little moved,” said the artist, who thanked his relatives who work with him, his brother Luc Van Haver and Coralie Barbier, his wife.

“Health”: after six years of absence, Stromae is back with a new title

Forgotten the depression, aggravated by the side effects of an antimalarial, which had nailed the slender Belgian to the ground a few years ago, in the wake of an exhausting world tour. The artist returned to the stage in 2022, a first for seven years to present the successor to his album “Racine Carrée” (2013, that of consecration). With “Multitude”, he found the winning recipe.

Victory of honor for Serge Lama

The title “Hell” allows him to exorcise the slump he experienced. And “Invaincu”, the opening track – on the disc and on stage – attests to his return to form and his renewed ambition. Stromae also received the award for best album, the seventh Victoires de la Musique of his career.

The evening was also marked by the Victory of Honor awarded to Serge Lama, 80 years old. “This victory makes me very happy because it comes from the profession,” he said. It was the right time: I’m leaving (he stops singing). This Victory crowns a career. »
