In a duet with the French singer Pomme, Stromae is back to music on the song “Ma Meilleur Amie”.
MUSIC – Between Stromae and League of Legendsthe parallels do not seem obvious, and yet… Gradually back, after a notable public appearance a little earlier in the week, the Belgian singer Stromae offered a discreet return to the musical field by appearing on the soundtrack of season 2 of the series Arcana.
This Saturday, November 23, the artist surprised many of his fans and fans of the series adapted from League of Legends with the title My Best Enemywhich he performs in a duet with the singer Apple. “ We created a special song for the last season of Arcane with Pomme », revealed Stromae on his social networks, when the final episodes of the series were revealed on Netflix.
In the description of this captivating piece, shared on YouTube, the Belgian singer and Pomme are also credited with writing this piece, proof of the duo’s involvement in this project. Stromae is also credited as producer, alongside his half-brother, artistic director and longtime collaborator Luc Van Haver.
On social networks, Stromae’s unexpected return to musical affairs apparently delighted fans of the Belgian singer, more than two years after the release of his last project and a forced media and musical break due to health concerns.
After unveiling this new piece to mark the end of this impressively successful Netflix series, the hypothesis of a gradual return of Stromae to the musical landscape therefore seems to be on very good track.
A film at the beginning of December
Earlier this week, he had already made an unexpected media comeback by being decorated by Philippe, king of the Belgiansof the title of Commander of the Order of the Crown, which rewards “exceptional merit” in the artistic, literary or scientific fields. Stromae did not make a single public statement during this event which took place on November 21. But the simple fact of seeing him in good shape was enough to reassure his fans 18 months after the sudden cancellation of his event tour Multitude.
The hypothesis of the artist’s return to the forefront had already been reinforced a few weeks earlier when he revealed the release of a film covering the aborted tour of his third album. A way to compensate for the disappointment of its audiencedeprived of concerts due to the deterioration of the artist’s health, constrained and forced by his relatives and his doctors to a ” rest and remission time ».
“I am aware that (the cancellation of the end of my tour) may have disappointed some”he explained in an Instagram post announcing this film, whose release is scheduled for “ December 2025 ”, as he himself indicated on his social networks. More precisely December 6 at 9 p.m. on the TMC channel, and December 14 on YouTube.
