Sébastien Tellier
Sexuality

This album involves a true sexual encounter, filled with eroticism; this is evident primarily from the title and the vintage cover, where a man on horseback, at sunset, is about to cross a land personified by the naked body of a woman. Tellier enters the realm of french touch, under the production of De Homem-Christo, with his very kitsch synth pop, very sensual, where the erotic atmosphere is created not only abstractly but also physically.

One must step into the shoes of the seducer who arrives at the appointment dressed in white, and the image immediately jumps to the moment he opens the bedroom door and enters, wrapped in a towel around his waist, after having emerged from a relaxing bath: it's the initial "Roche", where he mesmerizes his woman, gasps, an incessant loop follows his steps towards the bed, and with "Kilometer" he performs a teasing dance before engaging in foreplay, with her producing groans of pleasure. "Look" collects all the glances before the act, accompanied by caresses and touches, then delves into the heart of the relationship, joyful and fun, to the rhythm of the bouncing synthesizer in the danceable "Divine", where the adonis dives into the bed and plays under the sheets. A continuous female orgasm overwhelms "Pomme" to the beat of a warm and full bass: he disturbs her by whispering his ardor in her ear; the amorous fusions continue, at times whirling like in "Sexual Sportswear", where the synthesizer is solemn, lofty, travels in supersonic space, and percussions and bass pace the encounter at the height of lust. The turbulent sea calms with the peaceful "Elle": the lovers are lying down and embraced, she is the person he loves; she knows it, in "Manty" she smiles, a repetitive chorus is followed by Italian-French words in a rococo atmosphere. In the end, he is left alone, sitting at the piano: "L'Amour Et La Violence" is an intimate moment, perturbed by the rapid and swirling synthesizer that then gradually fades; love has triumphed in all its seduction.

Ideal soundtrack for romantic nights dedicated to eroticism.
