Edouard van Praet shares new single 'Remplaçable'

Last Saturday, Edouard van Praet turned the AB completely upside down during his set for the Humo's Rock Rally final.

He is today back with the delicate & dreamy song Remplaçable. Somewhere between pop from the 80s, soft punk and modern alternative pop, the French lyrics with their strong reverb evoke forgotten memories and a pathetic plea for forgiveness from the narrator.

Belgian-Canadian UFO Edouard van Praet has been meticulously shaping his own universe for the past three years. Three years of strange, chimerical fusion of styles: between tradition and modernity, smiles and cries. The eccentric dandy is known for inhaling the vapours of classic rock'n'roll and exhaling them into sounds of his own – what we could call Jungian alternative pop-punk-electro-rock-paper-scissors, or, simply put, anti-rock.

After two EPs that made waves in Belgium, Edouard is preparing his first album, a logical but daring continuation to his previous experiments (Doors in 2021, Cycles in 2022), with more prominent French vocals. He sees his music as a vast playground where guitars are strummed, synthesizers are tweaked, and microphones are roughed up. In the end, you find yourself with a ballad in the style of Tom Waits and Frank Sinatra or a degenerated gabber/trance song.

On stage, Edouard unleashes himself, and that's a constant among his love for contrasts. Accompanied by his band of anti-rockers, he invites you to dive in and surrender yourself to trance.
