“Bruxelles je t'Aime” by Angèle

Angèle's second album, Nonante-Cinq, was introduced by "Bruxelles je t'aime" (Brussels, I love you), which the Belgian singer-songwriter released in October 2021. She wrote it alone and produced it with Tristan Salvati, and it went to number one in Wallonia and picked up a gold single certification from SNEP.

The melody and the production were already underway when the first COVID-19 lockdown hit, but the words only came once she realised she was stuck away from her own city. So she wrote Brussels a love letter, casting the city as a lover: the falling for each other, the breaking up, the missing, the never quite forgetting. Paris is where she spends most of her time these days, but Brussels is where her family and her childhood friends still live.
