Source-derived summary

Nonante-Cinq (French pronunciation: [nɔnɑ̃t sɛ̃k] , transl. Ninety-five) is the second studio album by Belgian singer Angèle. It was released on her 26th birthday, 3 December 2021, through Angèle's own label Angèle VL Records and Initial Artist Services. The album was preceded by two singles: "Bruxelles je t'aime", and "Démons" featuring Damso.

The album reached number one in Wallonia, as well as the top five in Flanders and France. It moved 30,958 units in France in its debut week, 17,530 of which were physical sales.

A reissue of the album, subtitled La Suite, was released on 17 November 2022.

Background and release

Talking about the development, she revealed that the sadness and melancholy caused by the break-up between her and Léo Walk, as well as the COVID-19 lockdowns, were "catalysts" of the writing process; although, she admitted, the sadness felt more intense during the creation of her debut studio album Brol.

After the release of the lead single "Bruxelles je t'aime" on 21 October 2021, Angèle announced the album on 27 October. She also revealed the album cover which depicts her riding a rollercoaster along with different versions of herself. The title refers to her birth year 1995.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Nonante-Cinq” as 2021 studio album by Angèle. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA productive route into publication, performance and collection histories when the underlying object or edition remains clearly identified. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2021, 2022, 1995—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 2021-12-10. The account is most persuasive where Nonante-Cinq, studio and album can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the arts & letters register because the source frames it as 2021 studio album by Angèle. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 17, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q109408370. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2021, 2022 and 1995.

Critical limits

Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Separate the work, its editions or performances, and its later reception. Catalogue records, publication histories and object files often preserve different parts of that story.
