Review by Sukju Hwang

Album Review: 50 Minutes de ses Succès by Stéphane Steeman Stéphane Steeman’s 1975 release, 50 Minutes de ses Succès, isn’t your typical music album—it’s more like an auditory scrapbook of spoken word and quirky storytelling. Released under the Vogue label with artwork credited to Tibet (yep, that’s a name that sticks), this record dives into the non-music genre with a mix of humor, nostalgia, and oddball charm. If you’re looking for something that feels like eavesdropping on a Belgian café chat in the '70s, this might just be your jam. One track that stands out is "Chers Compatriotes." It’s got this mock-serious tone, like someone pretending to give a speech at a town hall but sneaking in jokes every other sentence. You can almost picture Steeman leaning into the mic, cigarette in hand, delivering lines that make you chuckle despite yourself. The way he plays with language feels intimate—like he’s letting you in on a little secret about life in Belgium back then. Honestly, it’s hard not to rewind and catch all the clever wordplay again. Another standout is "Merckx 75." As a tribute to cycling legend Eddy Merckx, it’s less of a sports anthem and more of a tongue-in-cheek ode. Steeman doesn’t just talk about Merckx’s victories; he captures the guy’s larger-than-life persona with exaggerated flair. Listening to it feels like hearing a proud uncle bragging about his favorite cyclist over a pint. It’s funny, endearing, and oddly inspiring—all at once. The rest of the tracks, from "Journal Parlé" to "La Pays A Plat," keep the momentum going with their own brand of eccentricity. Each one feels like flipping through pages of a diary where Steeman jots down observations about everyday life, politics, and random musings. Sure, some bits meander a bit too much, but hey, that’s part of the charm. What makes 50 Minutes de ses Succès so memorable isn’t its polish—it’s the raw personality packed into each track. This isn’t background noise; it demands your attention. And while it might not appeal to everyone, fans of offbeat artistry will find plenty to love here. Here’s the kicker: listening to this album today feels like stepping into a time capsule, except the capsule is kinda leaking and smells faintly of vinyl. Weird? Absolutely. But maybe that’s why it works.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: The album *50 Minutes de ses Succès* by Stéphane Steeman isn’t your typical music record. Released in 1975 under the Vogue label, it’s categorized as "Non-Music." Instead of songs, it features spoken word tracks like *Chers Compatriotes* and *Journal Parlé*. Even the artwork was done by Tibet, a notable artist. It’s more of a time capsule than an album, capturing voices and stories from Belgium in the '70s. Kind of like audio snapshots of history.
