00:00:00,153 --> 00:00:02,593
Interview with Orelsan, take one.
1
00:00:04,333 --> 00:00:07,013
I remember first hearing
about Stromae.
2
00:00:07,173 --> 00:00:10,893
The guy said, "There's this
new dude coming up,
3
00:00:11,073 --> 00:00:13,833
"he's really something,
he'll blow you away."
4
00:00:14,653 --> 00:00:16,773
This music industry bigwig tells me:
5
00:00:16,933 --> 00:00:20,234
"This new upcoming dude is
gonna wipe you out."
6
00:00:47,553 --> 00:00:48,519
STROMAE BY...
7
00:00:52,222 --> 00:00:53,142
AND PAUL VAN HAVER
8
00:00:53,733 --> 00:00:57,813
My first ambition was for my music
to reach French speakers.
9
00:00:58,006 --> 00:01:01,368
I didn't think about it
appealing to all ages
10
00:01:01,732 --> 00:01:03,144
or certain countries.
11
00:01:03,526 --> 00:01:07,486
I just thought if it works in French-
speaking countries, then great!
12
00:01:14,146 --> 00:01:16,506
I'm Stromae, rapper and
composer-producer.
13
00:01:16,672 --> 00:01:19,352
It's now 2009 and I've made
some resolutions.
14
00:01:19,573 --> 00:01:23,133
I've started composing some new
stuff with a new vibe.
15
00:01:23,292 --> 00:01:25,460
And I've decided to give lessons.
16
00:01:25,592 --> 00:01:27,712
It was to get my music known.
17
00:01:28,145 --> 00:01:30,575
I wanted a quick and condensed way
18
00:01:30,625 --> 00:01:31,895
of explaining to people
19
00:01:31,945 --> 00:01:35,465
how I composed a song or how I
came up with the subject.
20
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,200
Why bother to write lyrics that
no one will listen to?
21
00:01:39,494 --> 00:01:41,014
I subscribed to his channel.
22
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,560
- It was the start of YouTube.
- I was composing like him,
23
00:01:44,753 --> 00:01:46,713
and I learned a lot.
24
00:01:46,906 --> 00:01:49,637
I really learned how
to use the tracks.
25
00:01:53,047 --> 00:01:56,527
I remember his song "Up Saw Liz",
a favorite back then.
26
00:01:59,669 --> 00:02:00,909
Too difficult!
27
00:02:06,579 --> 00:02:10,379
We'll now record it and it
will sound like this...
28
00:02:23,407 --> 00:02:24,517
Before starting,
29
00:02:24,567 --> 00:02:27,767
I suggest you taste some ravioli...
30
00:02:30,698 --> 00:02:31,778
It isn't bad.
31
00:02:31,973 --> 00:02:33,613
And it goes all over your t-shirt.
32
00:02:33,772 --> 00:02:36,052
As a kid, my brother would film me
33
00:02:36,780 --> 00:02:40,050
and I naturally clowned around
in front of the camera.
34
00:02:40,100 --> 00:02:42,940
So I naturally included
humor in my videos,
35
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,140
because I can't take
anything seriously.
36
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:47,581
There's always a twist.
37
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,110
I saw his "lessons" and immediately
left for Brussels.
38
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,800
We took the train that very same day.
39
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,000
I'd never done that: see a video,
rush to see the guy
40
00:02:57,252 --> 00:02:59,702
and meet him that night.
41
00:03:00,293 --> 00:03:03,613
It was so mind-blowing, we couldn't
miss out on that.
42
00:03:08,580 --> 00:03:11,300
Sorry, but aren't you creating shit?
43
00:03:11,493 --> 00:03:13,453
On that shoot,
44
00:03:14,166 --> 00:03:16,126
he was exceptional.
45
00:03:16,276 --> 00:03:18,916
I turned up with half
an idea, as usual,
46
00:03:19,133 --> 00:03:21,853
never with a beginning,
middle and end,
47
00:03:22,013 --> 00:03:24,133
just an idea and we see how it goes,
48
00:03:24,293 --> 00:03:27,471
and he was on board immediately.
He knows how to listen.
49
00:03:27,670 --> 00:03:29,030
It goes like this...
50
00:03:32,866 --> 00:03:33,746
Got it?
51
00:03:34,006 --> 00:03:37,086
B, E, D, F, B-flat.
52
00:03:37,246 --> 00:03:40,916
It was if we had written together
the week before,
53
00:03:40,966 --> 00:03:44,326
rehearsed a dozen times and
were ready for the shoot.
54
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:45,898
We hadn't done a thing.
55
00:03:46,345 --> 00:03:49,505
I laughed as much with Stromae
as I would with Gad Elmaleh.
56
00:03:49,926 --> 00:03:51,101
And Gad's a pro comic.
57
00:03:52,891 --> 00:03:55,491
- Recording, recording.
.. - Recording live.
58
00:04:07,124 --> 00:04:09,859
I thought that if I sang about love,
59
00:04:09,909 --> 00:04:13,981
about break-ups,
about everyday life,
60
00:04:14,146 --> 00:04:15,826
it would be a bit clichéd.
61
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,336
But then I realized that it's not
a subject that's the cliché,
62
00:04:19,386 --> 00:04:20,985
but the approach.
63
00:04:21,666 --> 00:04:24,146
And "Alors On Danse" was the trigger.
64
00:04:24,505 --> 00:04:25,697
On hearing "Alors On Danse",
65
00:04:25,747 --> 00:04:29,707
I thought, "OK, alright..." It took
a while for me to process
66
00:04:30,922 --> 00:04:33,488
the house side, the Eurodance side.
67
00:04:33,538 --> 00:04:38,298
And then I saw the video and went,
"Shit, I should've done that!"
68
00:04:38,532 --> 00:04:40,172
Dance
69
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,400
So let's dance...
70
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,679
I loved it and was jealous:
71
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,509
"I should've done that and
talk about my life."
72
00:04:49,559 --> 00:04:52,919
He performs it great, it's well
written, the tune's great...
73
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:57,359
The best songs are those you're
not sure about at first,
74
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,508
then when you analyse them,
you think, "Wow, cr...........
