Multitude

"As intricate and affecting as the wordplay is, you don't need to speak French to feel the emotional heft Stromae loads into each of `Multitude's tracks. The vocals are as limber as the glitching, swaying soundscapes and the whole album is a mesmerising listen that constantly surprises".

"With biting humor and striking intimacy, the Belgian pop singer's adventurous third album examines how we humans care for one another-or don't ... His lyrics also often inhabit the headspace of shitty men, trying on their self-justification for size and unraveling it with glee and a journalistic eye for hypocrisy and weak logic. Coupled with his old-fashioned commitment to high-concept hijinks, Stromae is a delightfully improbable and inscrutable pop star. His ambition and ability to execute it appear undimmed by the nine years since he released his last album-a gap partially enforced by a debilitating physical reaction to anti-malarial medication and its psychological aftermath".

"Den belgisk-rwandiske popstjerne Stromae er tilbage med et nyt album, der viser ham som en syngende sandhedsfortæller af første klasse ... Den 36-årige sangskriver, performer og designer er i sandhed tilbage efter flere års fravær. 'Multitude' er hans første album i otte år. Og igen formår han at skabe en række popnumre, som rammer præcist i hjertet".

"Hele verden er Stromaes legeplads på 'Multitude', der er mindre elektronisk end hans første to plader. Musikalsk er han i topform ... Og det er der kommet et musikalsk overlegent, eklektisk og sprudlende album ud af ... Stromae får det hele til at lyde så let og ubesværet. 'Multitude' er en aparte, men også vildt overdådig plade fortalt med et mesterligt overskud".
