After captivating the crowd in Split, German legend Paul Kalkbrenner teased his followers on Instagram with a new collaboration with Paul Van Haver, better known by his stage name Stromae.
In a short video shared on Instagram, Kalkbrenner is seen dialing 0031, Belgium’s country code and Stromae’s homeland, on a rotary phone. On a split screen, a mobile phone display shows that “Paul” is calling. The call is answered with, “Hello, this is Paul,” to which Kalkbrenner replies, “Yeah, this is Paul too.” The screen then fades to black as music begins to play, and the release date 29.08.2025 flashes across the screen.
The clip hints at a collaboration between the two Pauls. This is not their first connection, since Kalkbrenner previously remixed Stromae’s 2010 hit Te Quiero. At the end of the teaser, fans can hear a short snippet of the upcoming track, and with the release date revealed, the new song can be expected at the end of this month.
