She says he took pretext for his birthday (December 3) to accelerate a week the upload of his second album. But it is difficult to believe that such pretitude precipitation strategy to create the buzz is well-running in the R’n’B and hip-hop media. So it’s nice-five, the disc that should confirm angele as a phenomenon of Francophone urban pop. Status that is worth a documentary broadcast since November 26 on Netflix.
This autocadeau for his 26 years – the publication of the album in physics is maintained on December 10 – therefore wears the year of birth of Angele, who is inspired here of the British Adele’s asclare, she, she, His ages over his discography. To this vintage, however, it will be done only once reference, in positive thoughts: “Need positive thoughts or changed from time / since 1995, I trust in my friends”. That poses a philosophy.
The touch of singularity is, of course, in the belgitude of this “nomin”. Angèle van Laeken has grown up to Linkebeek, a Flemish commune south of the capital. What is recalled in introduction with Brussels I love you, Single launched in bait as from October 21st.

Angela had recovered in 2016, to his nascent reputation. Here again, the analogy will be reported between “Paris calls me when I want to go home / when the gray sky and the rain miss me” and “Brussels my beautiful / I join you soon as soon as Paris betrays me”, what was singing The Folk Singer Dutch. But the atmosphere is not the same, dramatic and hopped in one, solar and dancing in the other.
At this song, the number two of Mam’selle Angele is part of the continuity of his first album, Brol (2018), elapsed in his first year in France to more than 600,000 copies and awarded a Victory of music in the Revelation category. With the same assets, an attractive voice, sweet or evanescent, treated as an instrument with effects and filters. And texts greeted for what they would tell from a generation, both narcissistic (thanks to social networks) and unsafe of itself when it confronts with real life.
