Angèle Van Laeken is the daughter of the singer Marka and of the actress Laurence Bibot. She was born in Uccle, Brussels-Capital Region. Her father encouraged her from an early age to learn the piano, which inspired her musical career. Angèle spent a difficult adolescence in a strict Catholic school before attending the Decroly School. The artistic options at this high school helped develop her musical skills. She then enrolled in the Jazz Studio Antwerp for a jazz education before joining her father's band.
Angèle gave her first performances in cafés around Brussels. She was first noticed for her cover of Dick Annegarn, "Bruxelles", and on Instagram videos where she mixed singing and comedy. In 2017, she was the support act for Ibeyi and the Belgian rapper Damso, whom she also accompanied in his album Lithopédion. Her first single, "La Loi de Murphy", was released in late 2017 and received millions of views on YouTube. A second single "Je veux tes yeux" was released in early 2018. The two video clips were directed by the Belgian photographer Charlotte Abramow.
Angèle is a fan of Ella Fitzgerald and Hélène Ségara. She is inspired by many musical genres from French songs to electronic music and rap, which she disliked as a teenager. She became influenced by rap particularly while performing with her brother Romeo Elvis and the rappers Caballero and JeanJass.
Nombreux
Angèle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Car tout le temps, c'est toi qu'je veux
Et comme on avait pris la route à deux
Ce sera bien mieux mais
Oh, ça nous dépasse tout cet amour, c'est si heureux
Les mauvais jours, moi je m'en passe
Car cet amour, c'est si précieux
Nombreux sont ceux qui dansent près de moi
Ils pourraient être les plus beaux
Tu sais que mes yeux ne suivent que toi
La route sera pleine de crises
Les hauts, les bas, ça nous passera
La route sera pleine de pentes
Dangereuses et brûlantes pour nous
Oh, ça nous dépasse, nos jalousies ça me plaît pas mais
Oh, quand tu m'embrasses, j'ai qu'une envie, c'est d'être à toi
Nombreux sont ceux qui séduisent
Nombreux sont ceux qui dansent près de moi
Ils pourraient être les plus drôles
Tu sais que mes yeux ne suivent que toi
Nombreux sont ceux qui séduisent
Nombreux sont ceux qui dansent près de moi
Ils pourraient être les plus riches
Tu sais que mes yeux ne suivent que toi
Nombreux sont ceux qui sévissent
Nombreux sont ceux qui perdent au combat
Tout pourrait changer autour
Moi, j'voulais tes yeux, ça ne changera pas
The song "Nombreux" by Angèle is a love song that speaks directly to the power and depth of true love. Angèle sings about a love that has been tested and tried, but ultimately endures. She talks about how, despite the many problems and obstacles they have faced, this person is the one she truly wants to be with. The chorus emphasizes this, with Angèle repeating that, despite the many people who may try to seduce her or dance with her, her eyes only follow this one person.
The verse anticipates the struggles that will come with being together, with the "road" being "full of crises" and "dangerous and burning" at times. Perhaps they will face jealousy, perhaps they will face doubt. But ultimately, she repeats, this love is "so precious" and will endure. This shows how strong the lovers' bond is and how, even though there are things that they might have to face, they will withstand it all because of the power of their love.
Interestingly, the song title "Nombreux" means "numerous" or "many", and Angèle repeats this word throughout the song. It is interesting how this word is framed in the context of the song, with Angèle acknowledging that many people may come and go in her life, many may try to seduce her or be with her, but ultimately her heart is set on this one person. This repetition and emphasis on the word "nombreux" underscores how many things in life can be fleeting, but true love endures.

Lyrics
It will be like we said it would be
Because everytime, it's you that I want
And because we hit the road you and me
It will be far better but, ouh
It outreaches us all this love, it is so lucky
The bad days, me, I go without them
Because this love, it is so precious
Many are those who seduce
Many are those who dance close to me
They could be the most handsome
But you know my eyes only follow you
The road will be full of crisis
Ups, downs, we'll let them slip away one day
The road will be full of slopes
Dangerous and ardent for us, ouh
It outreaches us, our jealousy I don't like it but, ouh
We you kiss me, I crave for only one thing, it is to be yours
Many are those who seduce
Many are those who dance close to me
They could be the funniest
You know my eyes only follow you
Many are those who seduce
Many are those who dance close to me
They could be richest
You know my eyes only follow you
Ouh ouh
Many are those who rage
Many are those who lose the fight
Everything around could change
Me, I wanted your eyes, and that will not change

The road will be full of slopes
Dangerous and burning for us, ouh

2:34 I’m not good with music theory but this note switch there sounds so beautiful, the whole song is very trist and melancholic, but this note is what would push me from the brink of my tears to crying. I don’t understand too much French but it seems like the sadness is overwhelming, and this one note expresses the acceptance. I hope this made sense to anyone. In short: it’s a masterpiece.

Cette chanson exprime tellement ce qu'on ressent quand on est amoureux, les paroles sont magiques❤️
