Orelsan Releases Fifth Album La Fuite en Avant Connected to Yoroï Film

The project leans into paternity anxieties with long‑time production and cross‑genre guest spots.

Overview

  • Orelsan dropped his 17‑track fifth album on November 7, largely produced by his frequent collaborator Skread.
  • Several songs double as material for Yoroï, the feature film released on October 29 that integrates tracks from the new record.
  • The guest list includes Yamê, SDM, Thomas Bangalter, Japanese singer Lilas of Yoasobi, and K‑pop group Fifty Fifty.
  • Lyrics dwell on fears around becoming a father, reflecting writing conceived as his now two‑year‑old son was born.
  • Early reception skews critical from outlets like Le Figaro and Libération, while fans at a Paris Deezer session responded warmly; a tour is slated to start in Caen in January and conclude with ten Accor Arena dates in December 2026, which Le Figaro reports have sold out.
