Each artist has his audience! Angèle's is resolutely feminine, and very young. At the Dôme de Marseille where we saw her, the Brussels singer performed in front of 8,000 people who knew her words by heart and sang them until sometimes covering her voice!

With her joyful manner of saying strong things, Angèle expresses out loud what these young girls think in the bottom of their hearts. The subjects of his songs are obvious: sexism, social networks, romantic break-up ... The fact remains that his phenomenal success is double-edged: will his audience, so young and volatile, follow him over time? Angela, fleeting glory or sure value of the song? Verdict for the next album!
Uninhibited speech
Still, his performance on stage is impeccable: a simple scenography, very studied lights and elaborate video projections, like these huge eyes that blink. Angèle dances, a lot, very connected with her troop and sends the public a beautiful energy. However, she is curiously decked out in tiger-print pants that rise so high above her hips that you imagine her short on legs. She will leave him for a superb dress all in gold and sequins at the end of the show, which gives him much more class.
Here is a young artist with an uninhibited discourse ... and who could very well do without the two room "drivers" that are imposed on her. Because Angèle Van Laeken is not lacking in character, and the flagship titles of her album Brol , Balance ton quoi , Ta Reine ... are a hit. Doesn't she rank third among teenagers' favorite personalities? After their mom and Greta Thunberg! No wonder his tour is sold out.
AccorHotels Arena (Paris 12e), from February 18 to 21.
