    Multitude is the perfect return for such a formidable musical talent, serving not only as a reminder of his innovative talents, but also highlighting how much richer his soundscaping and storytelling has grown over his hiatus.

    His third album may not perform the economic miracles of the second, but it’s a powerful addition to Stromae’s canon and a beautiful gift to the world.

    On Multitude, his primary theme is care—and how humans use and abuse one another as they seek comfort and turn a blind eye to inconvenient truths if it means getting what we want. He embodies these fables through a litany of rogues, often told with piercing humor.

    The vocals are as limber as the glitching, swaying soundscapes and the whole album is a mesmerising listen that constantly surprises.

    A record that uses choral, electronic and orchestral features to embellish Stromae’s creativity, Multitude is crafted to be enjoyed again and again.

Las letras merecen una mención especial por su crudeza que invita a la reflexión. Un disco que de verdad piensa en crear y en sorprender. Probablemente de lo mejor del año.… Expand

    A great return for a great artist.

    Stromae's writing and composing abilities are amazing and a non-French speaker can not understand the    A great return for a great artist.

    Stromae's writing and composing abilities are amazing and a non-French speaker can not understand the deepness of his songs. "Multitude" is a great return after the last album, which was filled with great and diverse songs. This album is slightly different from the original Stromae style, more instrument oriented with a lot of "weird" rhythm songs (which are extremely catchy). The lyrics are in the same manner, society being the main target with diverse topics. Some Stromae fans did not like the way of new songs, but, personally, I enjoyed Stromae's return and I was open with his new ideas and concepts.    … Expand

A much more personal record. Not much "in your face" production like papaoutai, Ta fete and some of the more popular songs from Racine Caree. clearly because the goal was to fuse the different influences so much they are harder to point out and create a well structured record. Still as clever with word play as ever. Welcome back!… Expand

LaAprès un silence presque complet de 9 ans, Stromae revient à son plus haut niveau production. Les instrumentals sont exquis et délicieux. La performance vocale est bonne, voire géniale sur Fils de joie.
    En esquivant l’obsession avec les matières fécales à travers l’album (répété sur trois des douze chansons) et malgré le fait que Racine Carrée reste son ultime projet, Multitude reste un album immensément personnel avec beaucoup de questions et de réflexions qui reflète bien la dernière décennie qu’à vécu Stromae.    … Expand
