Stromae takes America: Ave Cesaria in San Francisco

Another installment of Stromae's trip to the USA, with a version of Ave Cesaria from San Francisco.

The version sees Stomae accompanied by musicians on the back of a truck being driven over the Golden Gate Bridge.

Or at least it would, if they weren't pulled over by police for not wearing seatbelts.

But the concern for healt and safety didn't prevent a version of the track from Racine Carrée being performed. Although perhaps not quite in the circumstances the director had originally intended.

The work he's put in to making inroads in the US have obviously paid off, as Stromae played a sold-out show at Madison Square Gardens on October 1,  no small achievement for a Francophone act.

Stromae Takes America: Formidable in Seattle

Another installment of Stromae's adventures in the USA, with our hero taking to the stage in Seattle.

It follows a video of him performing on the streets of New York city.

The track Quand c'est is the latest track from Racine Carrée to be released as a single, it's video quite simply one of the most striking I've seen for a while.

Stromae is in mid-North American tour, with a show at Madison Square Gardens on October 1.

Although I reckon the crowd might just be a bit bigger than the one in the Seattle bar he performs in front of in in this video though...

Stromae: Quand c'est?

A new clip from Stromae, showing that there's life yet in his 2013 Racine Carrée album in terms of singles.

This time it's the song  Quand c'est ? deals with cancer, and the video tackles it with sensitivity and vision.

A bold track to begin with, and a memorable clip too, whether you need the subtitles or not.
While Racine Carrée is pretty well know in mainland Europe, with almost 2 million copies sold in France, the new clip corresponds with live dates in North America where he's becoming an increasingly well known face with high-profile admirers.

A recent video showed him performing Papaoutai in New York City, ahead of a show at  Madison Square Gardens on October 1st.

North America's a huge market, and there's certainly room for a talented artist like Stromae.
