Belgian pop star Angèle releases her powerful new single “Amour, Haine et Danger” today via Island Records. The song, which explores the daily mental toll that using our phones takes, arrives with a video directed by Brice VDH, who previously worked with Angèle on her Netflix Documentary. About the video and the idea behind the new single, Angèle says “From the writing to the words to the story, I imagined what it would be like if my phone became giant and took up too much space in the studio, just like it does in real life. Brice VDH and I had fun imagining scenes of daily life that would tell the story of our addiction to mobile phones. We have an absolute trust in an object which brings us as many problems as it does wonderful things. Brice had the idea to make us hold hands with the actors to show the all-encompassing influence this basic everyday object has on us.” LISTEN HERE I WATCH VIDEO HERE The release of “Amour, Haine et Danger,” comes alongside the exciting announcement of Angèle’s first ever UK headline show at the O2 Academy Brixton on May 23rd as part of her Nonante-Cinq Tour - tickets here. The show follows her previous trip to the UK where she supported Dua Lipa as part of the ‘Future Nostalgia’ tour, opening two sold-out nights at London’s The O2. The pair previously collaborated on the insatiable dance-pop track "Fever." Angele will also be heading stateside next year, headlining Terminal 5 in NYC on May 5th. Angèle has collaborated with the French luxury fashion house CHANEL for all of her stage clothes for the tour, some of which are inspired by the CHANEL Spring-Summer 1995 Ready-to-Wear collection, Angèle’s year of birth. It is the first time CHANEL designed bespoke outfits for an artist. Angèle is the face of Chanel's 2021 Eye Makeup Collection and has been a CHANEL ambassador since 2020. Angèle creates her own sounds and hones a graphic feel that mirrors her own personal style: hard-hitting and direct. She set up her own label (Angèle VL) and is a spokeswoman for her generation. A feminist, fluid and all-encompassing artist working in a world in which musical genres are a distant memory. Pop, rap and electro are all thrown into her musical blender. Her breakout debut album Brol (2018, 1.8M sold worldwide including 600,000 outside of France, 2,7 billion streams globally) made her an instant, fresh Francophone star. Her latest album, ‘Nonante-Cinq’ sold more than 430,000 copies and counts more than 473 million streams globally. SPOTIFY I YOUTUBE I INSTAGRAM I TWITTER
