Angèle, Caroline Polachek and SebastiAn: the triangle of "Love Triangle"

The meeting between Belgian singer-songwriter Angèle and alt-pop icon Caroline Polachek takes shape on a sonic architecture crafted by SebastiAn, Ed Banger veteran and a historic name in French electro-funk.

Premiered on BBC Radio 1, the single explores the geometry of a love triangle through an evocative game of linguistic mirrors: Polachek ventures into French, addressing Angèle directly, while SebastiAn's production underpins the track with a beat that's both tense and glossy. A fascinating intersection between Francophone pop chanson and American-style polished avant-garde.

The new album “Instinct” takes shape around the idea of a return to instinct, understood as that part of the self that precedes expectations, constructed identities and external pressures. Electronic music thus becomes the grammar of a record shot through with tension between control and liberation, image and reality, conformity and transformation. Chrome, a recurring element in the project's visual imagery, condenses this ambivalence: a cold, artificial, reflective surface that can nonetheless turn into a space open to change. Rather than defining a new identity for Angèle, “Instinct” seems to question what remains when the need to define oneself falls away, at least temporarily.
With “Une Seule Vie”, Angèle shifts this reflection onto more universal ground, that of desire: not the search for definitive answers, but the will to keep living and choosing even when those answers don't come. Here is the tracklist of the record.
