Electronic pioneer Jean Michel Jarre returns with what may be his most ambitious album yet. ‘Téo & Téa’ is a boy-meets-girl story for a modern age, mixing sensual dance music with a narrative element. ‘Téo & Téa’ is his first release since 2004’s ‘Aero’.A pioneer of electronic music, composer Jean Michel Jarre elevated the genre to new peaks of popularity following the release of his breakthrough album ‘Oxygene’ in 1976. The album went on to sell 12 million copies, which to this day remains unparalleled in French history. Jarre has sold a total of 60 million albums worldwide. Emerging as an innovative international superstar, Jarre created a new breed of ground breaking, outdoor concerts renowned for their array of stunning backdrops, laser shows and fireworks. Jarre has three times over broken his own entry in the Guinness Book of Records for the largest attendance at a concert. Jarre was also the first western artist to be invited to perform in post-Mao China in the Eighties. He returned in 2004 to play a historic show in Beijing to an audience of 1 billion on Chinese TV, NHK Japan and French national TV.The single, ‘Téo & Téa’, released on Atlantic Records will precede the album of the same name on April 16th. Already playlisted at MTV Dance, ‘Téo & Téa’ proves that Jarre still has the passion and creativity to produce music that will rival his contemporaries.Jean Michel Jarre
