An essential figure of the French Touch movement, Sébastien Tellier opens a new chapter in his career with the announcement of his new studio album, Kiss The Beast.
After the introspective ballad “Naïf de Cœur”, Tellier continues his exploration of the Kiss The Beast universe with “Thrill Of The Night”, a disco track with a distinctly French touch, created in collaboration with pop disruptor Slayyyter and the legendary Nile Rodgers on guitar. Produced by Oscar Holter (The Weeknd, Katy Perry etc.) and SebastiAn, “Thrill Of The Night” is a song rooted in sharing and celebration.
Thrill Of The Night was made “with the desire to relive those club years: the dream of the night as we like to imagine it, filled with freedom and festive excitement. Everything becomes possible, nothing is unthinkable,” Tellier explains.
“I was looking for a female voice, and the American singer Slayyyter perfectly met the technical demands of the song. She brought a very Studio 54 tone to it – and so did Nile Rodgers, whose joyful guitar playing was ideal here. It was a dream to have him on this track!” he concludes.
“I have always been a huge fan of Sebastian Tellier and Nile Rodgers, so to be on this song is such an honor. I went to Paris last year and recorded the song at Motorbass studios with Sebastian Tellier and SebastiAn which was such a dream come true, both have influenced my own music so much and were such a pleasure to work with. To create and record in such an iconic space with people I admire felt very full circle. A year later I came back to Paris to shoot the music video, and I’m so happy for it to be out in the world.” Slayyyter adds.
