Maarten Devoldere (Balthazar), suddenly conquered our musical
hearts with the triumphant double victory of We Fucked a Flame

into Being (2016) and Warhaus (2017). The songs of the brand-
new album Ha Ha Heartbreak came gushing out if him in a mere

three weeks in the sultry city of Palermo. All Devoldere needed
was the solitude of a hotel room, a guitar, a microphone, and a
heart that had recently been broken in thousands of pieces. The
sorrow was hard to handle, so, of course, Sicily was an escape.
But as it goes, those who try to outrun life quickly run into
themselves.
Song after song, Maarten Devoldere dismantles his own pose. He
looks at himself without mercy and, honestly, what he sees
doesn’t exactly make him happy.
The sound, however, remains wonderfully light. It swings and
glows with tantalizing strings, sensual backing vocals, horns,
playful piano parts, anything to lighten the load. It allows Ha Ha
Heartbreak to be a moving emotional exploration as well as a
vessel of great musical richness.
