[00:00.15]Interview with Orelsan, take one.
[00:04.33]I remember first hearing about Stromae.
[00:07.17]The guy said, "There's this new dude coming up,
[00:11.07]"he's really something, he'll blow you away."
[00:14.65]This music industry bigwig tells me:
[00:16.93]"This new upcoming dude is gonna wipe you out."
[00:47.55]STROMAE BY...
[00:52.22]AND PAUL VAN HAVER
[00:53.73]My first ambition was for my music to reach French speakers.
[00:58.01]I didn't think about it appealing to all ages
[01:01.73]or certain countries.
[01:03.53]I just thought if it works in French- speaking countries, then great!
[01:14.15]I'm Stromae, rapper and composer-producer.
[01:16.67]It's now 2009 and I've made some resolutions.
[01:19.57]I've started composing some new stuff with a new vibe.
[01:23.29]And I've decided to give lessons.
[01:25.59]It was to get my music known.
[01:28.14]I wanted a quick and condensed way
[01:30.62]of explaining to people
[01:31.94]how I composed a song or how I came up with the subject.
[01:36.00]Why bother to write lyrics that no one will listen to?
[01:39.49]I subscribed to his channel.
[01:41.24]- It was the start of YouTube. - I was composing like him,
[01:44.75]and I learned a lot.
[01:46.91]I really learned how to use the tracks.
[01:53.05]I remember his song "Up Saw Liz", a favorite back then.
[01:59.67]Too difficult!
[02:06.58]We'll now record it and it will sound like this...
[02:23.41]Before starting,
[02:24.57]I suggest you taste some ravioli...
[02:30.70]It isn't bad.
[02:31.97]And it goes all over your t-shirt.
[02:33.77]As a kid, my brother would film me
[02:36.78]and I naturally clowned around in front of the camera.
[02:40.10]So I naturally included humor in my videos,
[02:43.00]because I can't take anything seriously.
[02:46.36]There's always a twist.
[02:47.84]I saw his "lessons" and immediately left for Brussels.
[02:51.16]We took the train that very same day.
[02:54.20]I'd never done that: see a video, rush to see the guy
[02:57.25]and meet him that night.
[03:00.29]It was so mind-blowing, we couldn't miss out on that.
[03:08.58]Sorry, but aren't you creating shit?
[03:11.49]On that shoot,
[03:14.17]he was exceptional.
[03:16.28]I turned up with half an idea, as usual,
[03:19.13]never with a beginning, middle and end,
[03:22.01]just an idea and we see how it goes,
[03:24.29]and he was on board immediately. He knows how to listen.
[03:27.67]It goes like this...
[03:32.87]Got it?
[03:34.01]B, E, D, F, B-flat.
[03:37.25]It was if we had written together the week before,
[03:40.97]rehearsed a dozen times and were ready for the shoot.
[03:44.40]We hadn't done a thing.
[03:46.34]I laughed as much with Stromae as I would with Gad Elmaleh.
[03:49.93]And Gad's a pro comic.
[03:52.89]- Recording, recording. .. - Recording live.
[04:07.12]I thought that if I sang about love,
[04:09.91]about break-ups, about everyday life,
[04:14.15]it would be a bit clichéd.
[04:15.88]But then I realized that it's not a subject that's the cliché,
[04:19.39]but the approach.
[04:21.67]And "Alors On Danse" was the trigger.
[04:24.50]On hearing "Alors On Danse",
[04:25.75]I thought, "OK, alright..." It took a while for me to process
[04:30.92]the house side, the Eurodance side.
[04:33.54]And then I saw the video and went, "Shit, I should've done that!"
[04:38.53]Dance
[04:41.64]So let's dance...
[04:44.28]I loved it and was jealous:
[04:46.84]"I should've done that and talk about my life."
[04:49.56]He performs it great, it's well written, the tune's great...
[04:52.96]The best songs are those you're not sure about at first,
[04:57.56]then when you analyse them, you think, "Wow, crazy!"
