The Belgian music scene is rich and diverse. When people talk about it, they often point at one of the great guitar bands, but there is so much more to it than that. I’ve said it before, before and before, and I’ll say it again: for me, one of the best things to come out of Belgium in recent years is Angèle.

Her music is appealing, her lyrics witty and her video’s utterly funny and colourful. Don’t let any of this distract you from the fact that this girl has something to say. Her new single Balance Ton Quoi tackles the serious subject of sexism. Even though the video is full of humour, her point certainly comes across. A great tune with an even better message!
