 Best known for one of 2005's tracks of the year, 'La Ritournelle', Sébastien Tellier's 'Sexuality' is the third album from the French electronic-edged pop artist and is produced by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo - the first full artist project that he has produced outside of Daft Punk.
Tellier makes a revealing statement with this release. Not only is the album an intense multilingual manifesto for making love and its pursuit including tracks sung in English, French and Italian, but Tellier conjures up a dizzying array of electronically influenced styles and accompanying vocals on his latest release.
From the initial sound of waves morphing into the electronic groove of French album opener 'Rochea', Tellier's record makes a strong start. Switching to English, 'Kilometer's irresistible synth riff and cheeky erotic charm is a chilled-out, commercial club hit waiting to happen. Addictive synth arpeggios come into play in third track 'Look' which add Royksopp-style vocals to create a majestically calm, but seductive tune. 'Divine' could be a remix of a long lost Beach Boys track proving Tellier's brilliant ability to pay tribute to musical royalty, but update them rather than copy them. 'Pomme' is by far the most erotic song on the album. A girl's voice pants in ecstasy while a slow-motion bassline echoing erotic film soundtracks of decades gone by bounces along. 'Une Heure' picks up where 'Pomme' leaves off with a similarly concocted bassline, but this time introducing guitars into the equation. Wholly instrumental single 'Sexual Sportswear' - the longest track on the album - picks up the tempo somewhat with its synth riff and pounding electronic beat. Co-composed with Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, 'Elle' returns the listener to a slower, but no less atmospheric sound with mellow vocals. 'Fingers Of Steel' is a nod to Kraftwerk and Royksopp with its Moroder keyboard progressions and simple vocals. Italian-sung 'Manty' features pockets of feminine laughter in tandem with Tellier's own voice over a looped electronic beat. For album closer 'L'amour Et La Violence', Tellier reverts to French for what is probably the album's most simple song involving only a piano and some electronic augmentation.
On his final track Tellier croons 'Dis moi ce que tu penses?' (Tell me what you think). In short Monsieur Tellier, the electronic pop album standard has been set for 2008.
