How far can a shared dream take you?
French artist Sébastien Tellier stops by with a cinematic performance of “Parfum Diamant”, a synth-laced, dreamlike voyage lifted from his new album Kiss The Beast.
Today, Sébastien Tellier unveils his brand new track “Parfum Diamant” accompanied by a captivating, minimalist, color-focused COLORS SHOW, shot in Berlin. The studio version of the track appears on Kiss The Beast, the forthcoming album from the essential figure of the French Touch movement, set for release on January 30 via Because Music.
Reflecting on the inspiration behind “Parfum Diamant”, Tellier shares: “Recalling adolescent memories, naive first emotions, lying down gazing at the sky, sharing an ice cream… Capturing the magic of a man and woman united in quest beyond surrounding discord.” From Paris to London, with Oscar Holter, SebastiAn, Victor Le Masne and Daniel Stricker, 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 where Tellier condenses and transcends his experiences: an extravagant love letter to pop, both intimate and universal. Alongside his new album, Sébastien Tellier announces his big return to the stage in 2026 with a tour in France and across Europe, with dates already selling out.
Last month, after the introspective ballad “Naïf de Cœur”, Tellier continued 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. See the magical music video, directed by Melchior Leroux here.

About Sébastien Tellier:
We last saw him with the synthetic storytelling of the album Domesticated in 2020. Since then, Sébastien Tellier has been far from idle, working on three film scores, releasing two EPs, producing for some of his peers, and delivering one of the most memorable performances at the opening ceremony of the Paris Paralympic Games in 2024 with his timeless “La Ritournelle.” Twenty years earlier, the release of that track on his second album Politics, had already established Tellier as one of the most charismatic artists of the 21st century. A talented multi-instrumentalist, he has explored diverse musical territories ranging from pop and folk(s) to electronic. The result has been numerous tracks that have become cult classics: “Universe,” “L’amour et la violence,” “Divine,” “Roche,” “Cochon ville,” “Fingers of Steel,” “A Ballet”… All of this accompanied by his unmistakable signature style: long hair and beard, cap, and dark sunglasses. This unique dandyism has led him to collaborate regularly with major fashion houses, captivated by Sébastien Tellier’s untamed elegance.
