Sebastien Tellier - Kiss the Beast (1LP)

French Touch icon and electro-pop-songwriter dandy Sébastien Tellier is back with “Kiss the Beast” , on Because Music. Tellier returns to the format of a pop album. ‘Kiss The Beast’ draws from the different sounds he has explored in his career while opening new directions, from introspective French & English ballads to electro-pop groovy tracks.

Includes “Naïf de Coeur” & “Refresh”. The album features contributions from Nile Rodgers, Kid Cudi, and Slayyyter.

Produced by Daniel Stricker (Midnight Juggernauts), Victor Le Masne (Paris 2024 Olympics score), SebastiAn & Oscar Holter (Charli XCX, The Weeknd, Taylor Swift).

Sébastien Tellier on the new album:
“The album explores the duality between nature and mankind, and the blurred line where we become both the executioner and the victim. I’ve always felt this inner struggle, the pull between instinct and reason, between animality and humanity. This album reflects that ambivalence: an intimate journey where I allow myself to be consumed by my contradictions in order to be reborn. It’s a cry, a waking dream where we shed our masks to become whole again. I blend wildness with tenderness, fury with poetry — because deep down, I’m an animal who dreams, and a man who roars.” Sébastien Tellier
