The Belgian singer takes aim at your social media addiction in his latest music video, created by the director of The Triplets of Belleville and The Illusionist.
This is Stromae. Maybe you've heard of him?
He's one of the biggest stars in the French-speaking world and his brilliant-in-any-language music videos have racked up over 400 million views on YouTube. Also, Kanye West is a fan.

The animated "Carmen" clip was directed by the acclaimed French filmmaker Sylvain Chomet. Stromae first teased the video on Instagram, an appropriate strategy given that it follows his drawn doppelgänger as he falls into the social media abyss.
Chomet gave the cartoon his signature evocative style. Widely regarded as one of the best animators in the world, his films — The Triplets of Belleville and The Illusionist — were both nominated for Academy Awards.
His slow descent into Twitter madness begins innocently, with an adorable gap-toothed selfie.
