Shot in the Chapelle des Petits-Augustins, at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Paris, the clip features the two Belgian artists in a live orchestral version, produced by the Blogothèque.
“When Angèle came to pick us up to do a live session of demonswe had two obsessions in mind: to find a grandiose place, which highlights this orchestral version, and to make the famous demons appear…”, explain the persons in charge of the Blogothèque. “The Chapelle des Beaux-Arts was perfect, full of statues and majestic and disturbing frescoes, as if demons and angels frozen in full combat around Angèle and Damso”, they add.
Her second album created the event: Angèle and her record Ninety-Five have been squatting on the small screen and on the airwaves since its release on Friday December 3, 2021, a week before the scheduled date and the day of the singer’s 26th birthday.

An early birthday present. Initially scheduled to hit stores on Friday December 10, Angèle’s new album, Ninety-Five, appeared, by surprise, on Friday, December 3. “You may know, I’m coming out of a week of Covid and I’ll be 26 tomorrow. I realize since my isolation how special this year of my 25th birthday has been… and how much I didn’t see myself celebrating this moment alone, eating a cake (which I wouldn’t taste anyway), without marking the occasion”, writes the singer in an Instagram post.
“My Scrapbook Ninety-Five was supposed to be released on December 10, but tired of waiting,” added Angèle, whose second album is also available in physical. “They say that the second album is the most difficult thing. It was indeed a special experience, not always obvious, but what a pleasure…”, continued the interpreter of brol in this same message. In addition to this album in advance, Angèle unveiled on Friday December 3 the clip of demonshis song with Damso.
Torn between Paris and Brussels, Angèle had confirmed her return to the front of the stage with a single called Brussels I love you, released on Thursday, October 22, at 5 p.m., accompanied by its clip. After her Belgian compatriot Stromae and her resounding comeback, the young artist also began her comeback with the (almost) surprise release of an unreleased track, before her second album was released on December 3. In the video of Brussels I love youwe discover the young woman on a train, heading for the Belgian capital, her hometown where her family and her childhood friends reside.
This new song is an ode to Brussels, with even political allusions. “And if one day she separates and we have to choose a side. It would be the worst nightmare, all that for a story of languages. I lived my most beautiful stories in French and in Flemish”, sings Angèle in the words of Brussels I love you.
In 2018, the young Belgian singer Angèle created a tidal wave with her first album, brol. Carried by successful singles like Balance ton quoi or Tout tout, with his brother Roméo Elvis, the artist has become, in a few months, a phenomenon. Three years later, the Brol album won the double diamond disc certification, i.e. one million copies sold in France, 1.5 million worldwide and some 2 billion plays on streaming platforms.
“My first album. I can’t believe it. Never, never, never would I have thought that this little album composed in my teenage room would give me so many adventures. I don’t know how to thank you, and how thank the team who worked on this album”, wrote Angèle on Instagram at the announcement of this certification in October 2021.
Angèle Van Laeken, simply known as Angèle, was born on December 3, 1995 in Uccle, Belgium. She is the daughter of singer Serge Van Laeken, known under the pseudonym Marka, and actress and humorist Laurence Bibot. Angèle thus grew up in an environment cradled in music. After an education in a Catholic establishment, she began to play the piano and joined a jazz school in Antwerp, before joining her father’s group, then performing in the bars of Brussels.
Angèle begins to make herself known in 2016 by resuming the song on social networks Brussels by Dick Annegarn, but above all thanks to his first single, Murphy’s Lawpublished in 2017. It will be followed the following year by I want your eyes. Her career was launched: she performed at the Trianon in Paris alongside MC Solaar and began to play in several festivals. Her third single, The moneyreinforces this nascent success, as does All Forget, in duet with his brother, Roméo Elvis.
Because in the Van Laeken family, music is contagious. If Angèle is one of the most popular faces of French-speaking music today, her brother, Roméo Elvis, is no exception. Born on December 13, 1992 in Uccle, Belgium, like Angèle, Roméo Johnny Elvis Kiki Van Laeken (and yes) had a chaotic school career, learned drawing, painting and photomontage, before starting to rap with his friends. It is, like Angèle, his meeting with MC Solaar that will be a trigger: he wants to make music. In 2013, his career started with the title Brussels arrives, then with three EPs and his first album, Morale 2released in 2017.
His notoriety exploded and on the same momentum Roméo Elvis released his second album, Chocolat, which is a great success. He regularly shares the stage with his little sister, Angèle. They have a title in common, To forget everything.
After To forget everything and the release of his first album, brolAngèle continues its momentum and unveils, on April 14, 2019, the clip for the single Swing your what. The title is also a huge box and will become a feminist anthem. In her words, Angèle denounces sexism, in the wake of the #Balancetonporc movement.
Swing your what will quickly be propelled to the top of the music charts in France, Belgium and Switzerland. In France, the song is ranked single diamond, the equivalent of 50 million sales and plays on streaming platforms. The clip, viewed more than 96 million times on YouTube, remains one of the most significant of Angèle’s discography.
