Produced by Guy Manuel De Homem-Christo - astonishingly the first full artist project that he has produced outside of Daft Punk - this is a fantastic album that explodes pre-conceptions and heralds a new musical direction for Sebastien.
From the stylish electronic groove of opening track 'Roche' through the irresistible synth riffs of 'Kilometer' and 'Sexual Sportswear', the upbeat, almost Phantom Of Paradise-esque harmonies of 'Divine', and slow-burning atmospheric keys of 'Elle' and 'Une Heure' the album fizzes with a creative energy that is hard to resist and even harder to pin down.
'Sexuality' is Tellier's musical statement of intent for lovemaking: emotional, hypnotic and oozing with sensuality. With blissfully understated vocals, conveying a barely suppressed passion, Tellier comes on like a modern day Serge Gainsbourg. Musically, the album touches on everything from synthetic electro and classical, to 80's inspired pop and disco..
'Sexuality' is his third studio album, following 2005's 'Politics', & 2001's 'L'Incroyable Vérité'. It is a clear development for a truly exceptional talent, whose highly personal and intimate style has allowed him to become the very exponent of French cool; he's the one true artist who clearly connects the vanguard of modern French music, from Air through to Mr.Oizo, Daft Punk and SebastiAn.
