Pierre de Maere
Shimmering, theatrical French pop that feels like a modern fairy tale. Elegant synths and flamboyant vocals for moments of high-drama romance.
Shimmering, theatrical French pop that feels like a modern fairy tale. Elegant synths and flamboyant vocals for moments of high-drama romance.
Pierre de Maere creates a world that is unapologetically flamboyant, blending the precision of modern electropop with the grandiosity of a theatrical stage. His music sounds like a high-fashion runway set in a digital cathedral, where every synth line is polished to a mirror shine and every vocal melody is delivered with a dramatic, arched eyebrow. It is music that celebrates the beauty of the 'absurd' and the intensity of romantic longing.
What sets him apart is his distinctive vocal delivery, characterized by hyper-clear French diction and sudden, graceful leaps into falsetto. He avoids the grit of contemporary street-pop in favor of a dandy-esque elegance, using baroque arrangements and shimmering textures to build songs that feel both vintage and futuristic. There is a sense of curated artifice that somehow makes the underlying emotions feel more vivid.
Start with 'Un jour, je marierai un ange' to hear his signature blend of angelic metaphors and driving pop rhythms. From there, dive into the album 'Regarde-moi' to experience his full range, from intimate piano-led confessions to maximalist dance-floor anthems that demand your full attention.
Pierre de Maere (French pronunciation: [maʁ]; born 24 May 2001) is a Belgian singer-songwriter. His single "Un jour je marierai un ange" reached the top 5 of the French-speaking Ultratop 50 Singles and the top 10 of the French national ranking in 2022, obtaining a diamond disc from the SNEP in 2023. After winning the prize for Belgian Revelation of the Year at the NRJ Music Awards in 2022, he received a Victoire de la Musique in 2023 in the category of Male Revelation of the Year. In November 2024, he and Dua Lipa released the remix of the song "These Walls". De Maere is openly gay; French magazine Têtu classified him as a queer artist in 2022; in response, he told Le Monde, "I prefer the word flamboyant to the word queer."
