Sébastien Tellier: L'Adulte

Details emerge of the new Sébastien Tellier album, with a video for the track L'Adulte.

There's a strongly Brazilian flavour to the work, and with the eyes of the world on the country for the World Cup this summer that's probably not a bad idea.

Sébastien Tellier's last album was Confection, realeased on 2013, which featured the track L'amour naissant. Much as I enjoyed the album, I thought it was a little disappointing follow-up to My God Is Blue, still my favourite work by Tellier.

This new video was preceded by the track Ma Calypso,  which came out at the beginning of March.

Tellier's new album, his sixth, is a ten track affair entitled L’Aventura comes out on Because Music on July 14 internationally.

Tellier has just announced a series of dates across France in October.

Sébastien Tellier: L'amour naissant

A video for a new track by Sébastien Tellier has emerged, with the track L'amour naissant.

The video has been released ahead of the release of Tellier's new album Confection, which is expected to be released next month.

The track takes a very differnt direction from Tellier's last album , the messianic My God Is Blue. That collection, which featured Pépito Blue and Cocon Ville, saw Tellier in full-on visionary mode, accompanied by an electro-pop soundtrack.

His new album is to be a mostly instrumental collection, this song being the only with lyrics, and it really is a treat. It's classy and sophisticated, with a style reminiscent of classic 60s Gainsbourg, and I can't wait to hear more.

The black and white clip, directed by directed by Jean-Baptiste Mondino, features the French actress Anna Mouglalis. Mouglalis has appeared in many films since her career began in the late 90s, including Merci pour le chocolat in 2001 and played Coco Chanel in the 2009 film Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky.

In the 2010 biopic Gainsbourg (Vie héroïque) she played the role of Juliette Gréco.

Tellier's been touring extensively, and he plays a special date in Paris ahead of the release of the new album.
