If you’ve never heard of Stromae, don’t feel bad. The States are

If you’ve never heard of Stromae, don’t feel bad. The States are just now starting to catch on to this huge Belgian pop star. He is devastatingly stylish, with an androgynous look that’s part Janelle Monae, part Farnsworth Bentley, with a dash of Tilda Swinton. The 30-year-old isn’t afraid to push boundaries. He sings and raps exclusively in French, with lyrics that address fatherhood (“Everybody knows how to make babies but nobody knows how to make daddies”), homelessness, AIDS, and cancer, while his music is totally danceable. He also has the Kanye seal of approval, who recently remixed his song “Alors On Danse.” Showbox SODO, 1700 First Ave. S., 628-3151, showboxpresents.com. 8 p.m. $37 adv./$40 DOS. All ages. DML
