SÉBASTIEN TELLIER SHARES NEW SINGLE “AMNESIA” FEATURING KID CUDI KISS THE BEAST ALBUM OUT THIS FRIDAY

Sebastien Tellier © Photo Byron Spencer, hi-res photos, art, MP3/WAV, lyrics, bio HERE   Sébastien Tellier will release his new album Kiss The Beast this Friday, January 30th, on Because Music. He has already shared the singles “Refresh”, “Naïf de Coeur” and “Thrill of the Night” featuring Slayyyter & Nile Rodgers, and today, he shares one last preview of the album with “Amnesia”, a new track featuring Kid Cudi. Blending alternative hip-hop with avant-garde pop influences, “Amnesia” brings together Sébastien Tellier and Kid Cudi for a dream collaboration. A Tellier longtime fan, Cudi reconnects with the artist after sampling “Roche” on “CHUNKY”. Driven by a hypnotic groove, deep basslines, and Tellier’s hazy piano, the track drifts between ethereal rap and a melodic French verse. About the track, Sébastien Tellier says, “It is a song in which the boundary between love and dependence becomes blurred. Amnesia becomes a refuge and a prison. The lyrics play on this ambiguity. Every moment seems suspended. A feeling of emptiness and confusion fills the mind. Between ecstasy and regret, between desire and loss.  I invited Kid Cudi on this title because we have many things in common; he is an artist with the perfect raw melancholy to express the duality between love and dependence between reality and illusion. We share similar sensitivity and nostalgia, inner struggles and the quest for healing in common.” From Paris to London, with contributions from Oscar Holter (The Weeknd, Katy Perry etc), SebastiAn (Frank Ocean, Saint Laurent etc), Victor Le Masne (Paris Olympics), and Daniel Stricker, Kiss the Beast unfolds as an ambitious mosaic, anchored by Owen Pallett’s strings, Nile Rodgers’ guitar, and the appearances of Kid Cudi and Slayyyter. The album is 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 highly anticipated return to the stage in 2026 with a tour across France and Europe, including some already sold-out shows.

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.

Today Clara Mann shares her new EP 'Live In The Royal Albert Hall', which features three beautiful live renditions of her tracks "Remember Me (Train Song)", "500 Miles" and "Oranges", which were filmed and recorded in the Royal Albert Hall.  On the project, Clara Mann said “Shot in, and from, the boxes of the main hall, this film explores what it means to be watched, and how it feels to look back. Performed with Owen Spafford, and recorded by Fabian Prynn, my friend and collaborator in the making of Rift, these live recordings gave a new lease of life to songs, and renewed my relationship with the record- I hope they will do the same for you. I made this film with friends and loved ones, people who make me feel witnessed in my real life, as Clara both on and off stage. The imagining and making of it was possible because of all of their commitment to beautiful, meaningful making. I am so grateful to them, and to the team at the Royal Albert Hall, for bringing this to life.” Watch full performance here: https://youtu.be/0ciLUIE7VeY Listen to EP here: https://clara-mann.lnk.to/royal-albert-hall Since the release of her debut album Rift, Mann has sold out her debut headline tour across the UK and played a sold-out show at the Royal Albert Hall, as well as a performance with The Unthanks at Sage Gateshead. Mann also recently performed in Broadside Hacks’ Dylan tribute at End of the Road, as well as their Incredible String Band show at Queen Elizabeth Hall.

A prayer of power. Says Conduit: ‘This track is hopefulness in action. It is a prayer born from a chance encounter on the Williamsburg Bridge, and made real by the earnest love Charlotte and I share for the sweating heart of the dancefloor.  Put your hope into action and love will find its way in.’   ‘Malina’: ‘Made with Bulgarian vocals, it’s a track that holds the perfect combination of acid and emotion. I deeply enjoy playing this one and I'm very glad it's finally seeing the light of day.’   ‘A Prayer for the Dancefloor’ (Avalon & GMS Remix): ‘After releasing their first EP on KNTXT in December last year, power combo Avalon & GMS put their hands on ‘A Prayer for the Dancefloor’ and turned it into yet another psytrance banger’ de Witte says. ‘It's beautiful to see how these two worlds keep coming together.’   Joyfully celebrating de Witte’s 15th anniversary as an artist, her highly anticipated Flanders Expo 23K capacity shows are imminent on Feb 6th & 7th, plus 2026’s global list of tour dates, inc. headlining Pitch Melbourne, Tomorrowland Winter, Kappa Futur, Awakenings…November’s long-anticipated self-titled LP was celebrated by Vogue, BBC 6 Music, Resident Advisor, DJ Mag (inc cover), Mixmag, Rolling Stone, Billboard, Zane Lowe, Clash,&  “A Conversation with Charlotte de Witte” at the prestigious GRAMMY Museum.   CHARLOTTE DE WITTE Deluxe Vinyl Extra Disc Tracklist:  A1.

NEW GERMAN CINEMA: Fear of Men's Jessica Weiss announces debut solo album. Hear "My Mistake" ft Carson Cox (Merchandise)

NEW GERMAN CINEMA - Fear of Men’s Jessica Weiss announces debut solo album - ‘Pain Will Polish Me’ out March 27 on Felte - Watch new single & video   “My Mistake” ft Carson Cox (Merchandise) - London & Brighton live dates

Photo credit: Conor J Clarke (click for high res)   Today the voice and songwriter of Fear of Men, Jessica Weiss, announces details of her debut solo album under the moniker New German Cinema. Set for release on March 27th via Felte, her new album ‘Pain Will Polish Me’ is preceeded today with lead single “My Mistake”, which features guest vocals from Merchandise’s Carson Cox.   Weiss carries lyrical precision and emotional intensity into the stormy dark-pop gems on her debut solo album. ‘Pain Will Polish Me’ has been five years in the making, stretched between London and LA, built from late-night files, long silences and the quiet persistence of trying to finish something beautiful. Produced with Alex DeGroot (Zola Jesus, Cate Le Bon), it feels both forensic and devotional, the product of someone who doesn’t rush catharsis. It presents both solitary and connective, as if built from long-distance transmissions between two dream states.   Weiss calls the album a meditation on pop and European art-house auteur Rainer Werner Fassbinder. It tracks the ways intimacy and control fold into one another until it’s impossible to tell where one ends. The songs are about the parts of yourself that dissolve in love, and the small acts of violence that come with being known. They move through claustrophobic relationships, obsession, surrender, cycles of suffering that start to feel like devotion. The language is pop but the feeling is something stranger, colder, more interior.   The album’s lead track, online today, is “My Mistake” - a collaboration with Carson Cox of Merchandise, who comments “I was going to produce Fear of Men and instead we made something totally different I think. True collaboration which is my preferred way to work on music". What began as an Italo disco experiment evolved into a goth club anthem, charged and restless. It captures the push and pull of Weiss’s themes - devotion as both destruction and release. Weiss has a knack for making pain feel both exquisite and familiar.   Speaking on the accompanying video, Weiss comments: "The video sets the emotional tone for the record, suspended between eroticism and nightmare. It draws on cropped mirror framing - a favourite device of Douglas Sirk used to explore themes of emotional and physical entrapment and characters' inner psychological conflicts - moments of dissociation, and the television as a symbol of alienation, inspired by my perennial inspiration, RW Fassbinder."   Video director Luke Bather adds: “Our initial starting point was, predictably, the New German Cinema movement. However, when we discussed the themes of the song in more depth, the video evolved into its own beast. Sex, death, repressed desire, and good old-fashioned Catholic Guilt all loom large in the video through a series of performance vignettes inspired by everything from the films of Rainer Werner Fassbinder through to the paintings of Francis Bacon and everything in between. Adding to this, we have the spectre of Carson haunting the video as a ghostly analogue broadcast interspersed with archival footage of Berlin in the 1970s; an inescapable reminder of the past and a nod to the original New German Cinema movement.”   “My Mistake (ft Carson Cox)” official video: https://youtu.be/3TVLCRnr2KM ‘Pain Will Polish Me’ album links: https://felte.lnk.to/new-german-cinema   The songs on ‘Pain Will Polish Me’ move in shadow. Layers of synth, vocal and guitar fold over one another, drawing from the cinematic tension of Fassbinder’s New German Cinema and the quiet dissonance of modern Berlin, where Weiss recorded fragments of the record, drifting between places that carry uneasy ghosts. Between dinner conversations about the city’s buried history and the surreal comfort of its present, she found herself tracing the outlines of love and loss, identity and dissolution. “Germany’s history is everywhere but it’s unsaid,” she notes. “Fassbinder brought it into view. I wanted to approach the same sense of unease through sound.”   The album artwork picks up these themes, hovering between the everyday mundanity of a Fassbinder domestic scene, and something less recognisable, punctuated by surreal elements that move us into dreamscape, both familiar and disquieting. The shell and sea reference Botticelli's Venus: a figure born from sea foam created when Uranus’s severed genitals fell into the ocean - an image of creation through destruction. The shell becomes her vessel of birth, representing transformation, protection and fertility - the bridge between divine creation and human life. Weiss extends this theme of renewal to the personal; her baby daughter's babbles feature on the record.   Weiss has long been fascinated by the seam between pop and theory, art and feeling. While Fear of Men continue to work on their next record, this solo project opens up her own private language- a collection that feels at once personal and archival, haunted and alive. Between finishing a Masters in Early Modern Literature at Oxford, starting a PhD, moving countries and jobs many times, she’s been piecing together a body of work that sits somewhere between diary, research and séance.   It’s an album about losing yourself in order to see what’s left. A document of love as obsession, repetition, survival.  A meditation on love as both mirror and undoing, crafted in fragments, then pieced together into something whole.   New German Cinema live dates: 28 February - London, UK @ Sebright Arms 15 April - Brighton, UK @ The Folklore Rooms ‘Pain Will Polish Me’ track list: 01.
