Sébastien Tellier Announces New Album ‘Kiss The Beast’
An essential figure of the French Touch movement, Sébastien Tellier opens a new chapter in his career with the announcement of his new studio album, Kiss The Beast, to be released on January 30th, 2026 on Because Music (Justice, Christine and the Queens, Shygirl, Oklou, Parcels etc).
After the introspective ballad “Naïf de Cœur”, Tellier continues to explore the universe of Kiss The Beast with “Thrill Of The Night”, an electronic disco track with a “French touch,” in collaboration with pop disruptor Slayyyter and legendary guitarist Nile Rodgers. Produced by Oscar Holter (The Weeknd, Katy Perry…) and SebastiAn, “Thrill Of The Night” is a song of sharing and celebration.
Thrill Of The Night was created “with the desire to relive those club years: the dream of the night as one can imagine it, in its freedom and festive enthusiasm. Everything becomes possible, nothing is inconceivable.” – Sébastien Tellier.
“I was looking for a female voice, and American singer Slayyyter perfectly mastered the technical demands of the song. She brought a very Studio 54-like tone – just like Nile Rodgers, whose playful guitar was ideal here. It was a dream to have him on this track!” he concludes.
“A huge admirer of Sébastien Tellier and Nile Rodgers, being part of this track was a true honor. Recording at Motorbass Studios with Sébastien and SebastiAn was a dream: they have deeply influenced my music. Creating in such an iconic place, surrounded by artists I admire, was a precious moment.” – Slayyyter.
To enhance this universe, the modern dandy of a thousand lives once again teams up with the visionary eye of Melchior Leroux for the music video (director of Theodora’s “Fashion Designa” and “Naïf de Coeur”).
“To bring Slayyyter, Sébastien Tellier, and Nile Rodgers together in the same video despite their busy schedules, we chose to film them against a green screen and then have them coexist in a fully reconstructed disco universe. The story follows a young woman searching for Sébastien, providing a framework to weave a narrative thread between the three artists, who appear as almost spectral silhouettes. The aesthetic draws as much from slashers as from 80s films like Carrie or Suspiria. In the end, the entire project was built like a large collage in post-production, the real heart of the challenge.” – Melchior Leroux.
