Sébastien Tellier unveils new single ‘Naïf de Coeur’ ahead of upcoming album ‘Kiss The Beast’: Listen

French electronic icon Sébastien Tellier has opened a bold new chapter with the announcement of his upcoming album ‘Kiss The Beast’, set for release on January 30, 2026 via Record Makers. Moreover, to mark the occasion, the artist shares a stunning new single ‘Naïf de Coeur’, co-produced with Daniel Stricker (Midnight Juggernauts) and accompanied by a cinematic video directed by Melchior Leroux, a nominee for Best New Director at the UK Music Video Awards.

In ‘Naïf de Coeur’, Tellier explores emotional fragility through poetic introspection. The track moves between light and melancholy, capturing the tension between romantic idealism and inner pain. Over lush saxophone melodies and radiant choral textures, Sébastien Tellier paints the portrait of a modern man caught between strength and vulnerability. “This song depicts the reality of a man today, a new definition of the alpha male,” he shares. “If beneath his beard he’s tender and dreamy – and if he suffers – then the world is not so dark.”

Building anticipation for ‘Kiss The Beast’, the new album features a constellation of collaborators including Victor Le Masne, SebastiAn, Oscar Holter, and Daniel Stricker, while also incorporating contributions from Kid Cudi, Slayyyter, Nile Rodgers, and Owen Pallett. Furthermore, it represents Tellier’s most ambitious project yet – an extravagant love letter to pop that merges intimacy, grandeur, and playfulness across 12 tracks.

Pre-orders for ‘Kiss The Beast’ are now live at lnk.to/ST-KTB.
