Sebastien
Tellier
'Divine'
(Lucky018)
Released:19.05.08
‘Divine’ is a supremely uplifting
slice of electro funk with beach boy-esque harmonies and the single
package comes complete with added doo-wop, and significant re-arrangement,
in its new Radio version form and also with killer remixes from
Australia’s Midnight Juggernauts and France’s latest exciting
electronic producer/artist Danger.
Sebastien says of the song, "This is
my tribute to the Beach Boys and the Juicy Fruits
(from the 1974 musical Phantom of the Paradise). It’s about a time
of innocence – when having fun was more important than picking up
girls. I visualize a bunch of kids playing on the beach and I’d
really love to play with them."
Sebastien,
France’s inspired choice as their 2008 Eurovision representative,
will also perform Divine at this year’s Song Contest to be held
in Belgrade on 24th May. !!!! This
will be the first time in the history of the contest that the French
entry will be sung entirely in English.
Now, even more than ever, Sebastien is the one true
artist who clearly connects the vanguard of France's modern generations
of musical magicians, from Gainsbourg to Air, through Mr.Oizo and
the new electronic Ed Banger exporters.
The gel which joins are the genial pioneers, Daft Punk,
one half of which, Guy Manuel De Homem-Christo, has produced
this and the seminal new album.
The
single will be available as a strictly limited seven inch vinyl
and twelve inch vinyl and a not so lovingly packaged download.
