A few days ago, Stromae was making a comeback in the French media landscape.
Passing through JT of TF1 to, among other things, sing his new title “L’enfer”, the Belgian artist will have conquered the hearts of fans with the sincerity of his text and his interpretation.
Dealing with various difficult subjects such as suicide and loneliness, this piece will have touched the people concerned by this kind of problem.
The strike force of his new work will therefore have had an immediate impact on society.
Only a few days later, Mohamed Bouhafsi, a journalist with France Télévision, reported that since this performance, “appointments with psychiatrists have exploded like calls for 3114 the national suicide prevention number.»

Proof that music always retains this therapeutic aspect on listeners, and that it can sometimes convey very important and often forgotten messages.
Last year in the United States, the rapper Logic had also distinguished himself with his song “1-800-273-8255”, dealing with the same subjects. The latter had also had an unprecedented impact and had, according to researchers, prevented hundreds of suicides.
