Polachek, Angèle and SebastiAn Preview Angèle’s New Album With 'Love Triangle'

The BBC Radio 1 premiere signals an electronic-pop turn for Angèle’s return ahead of her October 16 album.

Overview

  • The single "Love Triangle" is a three-way collaboration between Caroline Polachek, Belgian pop star Angèle, and producer SebastiAn and it premiered on BBC Radio 1.
  • Angèle presents the track as a preview for her third album Instinct, which is scheduled for release on October 16 and is billed to include contributions from Justice and Soulwax.
  • The song pairs French-language vocals and a narrative about a love triangle with SebastiAn’s propulsive electro production, reflecting his links to Ed Banger’s French electro scene.
  • The release marks Angèle’s first full-length rollout since 2022’s Nonante-Cinq and continues Caroline Polachek’s recent pattern of high-profile collaborations after her 2023 album and 2024 deluxe edition.
  • By using a high-profile radio premiere and electronic collaborators, Angèle’s team is positioning Instinct as a move toward club-influenced pop and audiences should watch for additional singles and producer credits ahead of the album release.
