The album that made Stromae a continental phenomenon: Eurodance built on Congolese rumba and Cape Verdean rhythms, with lyrics about cancer, absent fathers and Twitter addiction delivered like chanson. "Papaoutai" and "Formidable" are pop songwriting at its most structurally clever. Dance music with a lump in its throat.
