To mark the occasion, the modern-day dandy with a thousand lives unveils a new single, “Naïf de Coeur”, co-produced with Daniel Stricker (Midnight Juggernauts) and accompanied by a music video directed by Melchior Leroux (nominee for “Best New Director” at the UK Music Video Awards). In “Naïf de Coeur”, Sébastien Tellier shines a light on the fragility of a tender, dreamlike soul, torn between wonder at the beauty of the world and the weight of inner wounds. Between light and storm, the lyrics emphasize the contrast between romantic idealism and inner pain, revealing a vulnerable heart oscillating between hope and melancholy. It is an ode to sensitivity, where tenderness and introspection intertwine with sorrow. “This song depicts the reality of a man today,  a new definition of the alpha male. If a man, beneath his beard, is tender and dreamy, and if he suffers, then the world is not so dark”,  he explains. “Over the sound of saxophone solos, I picture him strolling through Miami, bathed in beautiful lights… We added 10cc-style choirs: recorded by real singers, then transformed until they give the illusion of hundreds of voices, clear and radiant”,  Tellier concludes. ”NAÏF DE COEUR” NOW AVAILABLE NEW ALBUM KISS THE BEAST January 30th, 2026 AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER From Paris to London, with productions from Victor Le Masne, SebastiAn, Daniel Stricker, and Oscar Holter, Kiss the Beast unfolds as an ambitious mosaic, carried by Owen Pallett’s strings, Nile Rodgers’ guitar, and the contributions of Kid Cudi and Slayyyter. An album in which Tellier distills and transcends his experiences: an extravagant love letter to pop, both intimate and universal. Sébastien Tellier - Kiss The Beast - tracklist: 1. Kiss the Beast 2.

Un Dimanche en Famille About Sébastien Tellier:  We last left him with the synthetic storytelling of his 2020 album Domesticated. Since then, Sébastien Tellier has been far from idle: he has worked on three film soundtracks, released two EPs, directed projects for some of his peers, and delivered one of the most memorable performances at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Paralympic Games with his timeless “La Ritournelle”. Twenty years earlier, the release of this track on his second album Politics had already established Tellier as one of the most charismatic artists of the 21st century. A multi-talented multi-instrumentalist, he has explored a variety of musical landscapes spanning pop, folk(s), and electronic music. The result is a wealth of tracks that have become cult favorites: Universe, L’amour et la violence, Divine, Roche, Cochon Ville, Fingers of Steel, A Ballet, and more. Throughout it all, he has maintained his signature style,  long hair and beard, cap, and dark sunglasses, which has led to frequent collaborations with top fashion houses, captivated by Sébastien Tellier’s untamed dandyism.
