It seems the french/belgian female singer Angèle is not recognised in the database.
Is there a way to add her ?
She’s in MusicBrainz, so in all likelyhood, she’s in Roon. Maybe try to run your files in Picard to see if that helps. If that fails, another possibility is that there’s some bug somewhere with è, é, and e, so that’d be something to bring up with Roon Support.
You don’t need to (see above), but general rule for metadata issues: if it’s so unbearable that you feel the urge to complain so that someone else fixes it for you, it’s generally less effort to make a musicbrainz account and fix it yourself.

Roon should try harder for the money it costs
Qobuz offers more info ( even in dutch language)
Tidal only has artist picture but that’s something 
Roon is very minimalistic…
You can upload a picture manually
Pray tell us, how, practically, would you suggest they should try harder ?
As far as I know, Roon is limited to metadata that’s publicly available. If anyone’s doing not doing their jobs here, it’s the music labels. In Angèle’s case, she’s self-releasing, and the metadata that’s used by Qobuz comes from Music Story, a rather French centric outfit that seems, in its traditionally French approach to the rest of the world, incapable of proper copywriting in English on their website. Do you feel like that bodes well for the value of the data they’re providing ?
The metadata seems to have come from TiVo. I don’t know them but I love that Qobuz often has bios and reviews in dutch.
An option to allow users to simply bypass the metadata offered by roon and use the one provided by their streaming partners would be helpfull
The Dutch language bio, yes (and if i’m not mistaken, although Roon doesn’t offer not-english as a metadata language, TiVo is a metadata provider for Roon 
).
The English Qobuz metadata comes from Music Story.
Agreed. But it creates rights problems: the authors and aggregators of those bios need to be compensated, and although Qobuz has publishing rights to Music Story’s metadata, Roon likely doesn’t.
