After a long break caused by a burnout, the 37-year-old Belgian has resumed his flight with the album “Multitude”. This is the sixth Victory in his career.
“I’m still a little moved,” said the artist, who thanked his relatives who work with him, his brother Luc Van Haver and Coralie Barbier, his wife.
Forgotten the depression, aggravated by the side effects of an antimalarial, which had nailed the slender Belgian to the ground a few years ago, in the wake of an exhausting world tour.
The artist returned to the stage in 2022, a first for seven years to present the successor to his album “Racine Carrée” (2013, that of consecration). With “Multitude”, he found the winning recipe.
The title “Hell” allows him to exorcise the slump he experienced. And “Invaincu”, the opening track – on disc and on stage – attests to his return to form, the burnout sent to the mat, and a rediscovered ambition.
