Another memorable video and song from Angèle, coinciding with the release of her debut album Brol earlier this month.
Angèle has emerged as an interesting voice in French rap, bringing some humour and a unique style. You get the feeling she doesnt take herself too seriously and is enjoying what she does.
Her songs are great, and there's a playful wit at work here that suggests she's smart operator.
Anglophone critics might compare her to Lily Allen, but tshe's probably got more in common with fellow Belgian Stromae.
She plays a showcase in-store performance at FNAC in Paris Les Halles on October 11, and has live shows across France and Belgium scheduled until February.

Festival Fnac Live
More details have emerged of the line up for this summer's Festival Fnac Live in Paris next month.
The event, a series of free shows in front of the Hotel de Ville in the city centre, already confirmed Sting and Shaggy, Petit Biscuit and Feder on the bill, and more names have been added.
Among them are Belgian rapper Angèle, whose Je veux tes yeux featured on this blog in February. She's the sister of Roméo Elvis, and her debut single from last year, La loi de Murphy, got a huge amount of interest.
Elsewhere, major French electro artist Vitalic takes to the stage as does Ibeyi, the Diaz sisters having made a massive impression at Coachella earlier this summer.
Dominique A, Jeanne Added. and Voyou are among the other acts playing outside or playing inside the Hotel de Ville.
Last year around 90, 000 people attended, and the event has in the past attracted the likes of Christine and the Queens, Julien Doré and Benjamin Biolay, some of the most significant names in French music. Two more acts are expected to be added to the bill later this month.
Festival Fnac Live takes place over July 5, 6 and 7

Angèle: Je veux tes yeux
A striking video by for the track Je veux tes yeux by Belgian singer Angèle.
It follows her debut releae La loi de Murphy which emerged in October last year, a slice of electro pop that attracted considerable attention as much for its franco-english Lily Allen stylings as for its equally memorable video clip.
Angèle, who is the sister of Belgian rapper Roméo Elvis, is currently working on her debut album, which if the strength of her two singles so far is any measure, will be one of 2018's most anticipated releases.
The video for Je veux tes yeux was directed by photographer Charlotte Abramow
Angèle spent much of the closing months of 2017 touring in France and Belgium, and has her first ever show in Paris at Le Trianon on May 22.

Roméo Elvis: Nappeux
However you measure it, there's something very strange about the Atomium building in Brussels. It's a landmark like no other, sitting over the city like something from a science fiction movie.
It's an appropriate visual metaphor for the video by Roméo Elvis for the track Nappeux.
French rapper Grems also makes an appearance on the track which was produced by Le Motel. It originally featured on the Roméo Elvis/Le Motel album Morale 2 which is being re-issued as a deluxe edition next year.
Some of the video is shot at the Théâtre royal des Galeries, a more traditional landmark for the city but it's the Atomium that makes it clear that the action for Roméo Elvis' track centres on Brussels.
