New: Stromae - Je Cours

Another track by Belgian dance act Stromae is being promoted with the release of a video, this time its a tune called Je Cours

It's another track taken from his debut album Cheese (VERTIGO RECORDS FRANCE - MERCURY - MOSAERT / UNIVERSAL), and the fourth to come from the album that won the Best Electronic Music Album award at the Victoires de la Musique awards in France last month.

No easy task to follow up the success of Alors on Dance, which was number one pretty much everywhere in Europe in 2010, even managing a respectable impact in the UK where it remains on regular rotation on dance music channels.

But its got a cool groove, and with his laid back delivery its certainly easy on the ears. Another gem from the maeStro.

UK ears might draw comparisons with Faithless, but Stromae seems much more approchable and comes across as less pretentious and wittier, combining a clever lyric and a massive beat with appareant ease.

Hopefully it will get some attention and airplay off the back of Alors... and it certainly deserves it.
