"Bruxelles je t'aime" (English: "Brussels I love you") is a song by Belgian singer-songwriter Angèle. It was released on October 10, 2021 as the lead single from her second studio album Nonante-Cinq.[3] Angèle wrote the song and produced it with Tristan Salvati. It reached number one in Wallonia.
Background
In a press release, Angèle stated the meaning behind the song:
'Bruxelles je t'aime' was composed during the first [COVID-19] lockdown. I had already made the melody and started production, but it was only when I realized that I was forced to stay away from my city that I wrote this declaration of love. I like the idea of talk about my city as if it were a lover, just like in a relationship … we love each other, we break up … we miss each other, but we never forget each other.[4]
Content
In a press release, Angèle mentioned that while she lives in Paris most of the time, she is still "attached to her hometown where all her family and childhood friends live".[5] Focus on Belgium wrote that the song is "set against the background of a message of political appeasement between the north and the south" and "describes all the love she has for her city".[6]
Critical reception
Zangba Thomson of Bongmines Entertainment commented that "Bruxelles je t'aime" has "a relatable narrative, ear-pleasing French vocals, and tuneful melodies. The likable dance-friendly tune possesses lush instrumentation flavored with an awesome French pop vibration".[7]
Music video
An accompanying music video was released on 21 October 2021 and depicts Angèle dancing and celebrating on a train from Paris to her birthplace, Brussels.[8]
It was nominated for the UK Music Video Awards for Best Production Design in a Video in 2022.[9]
