Chaleur Humaine (Deluxe Edition)

A huge star in his native France, Héloïse Letissier (partially) rerecorded his radiant debut album in English. The language shift diluted nothing from the LP’s allure: this is a dazzling and curious electronic pop set that bewitches and challenges. “iT” and “Tilted” are the knockout singles—slinky, restrained, and lyrically alive with wit and provocation—but there’s invention around every corner. “No Harm Is Done” is twitchy and insidious, “Jonathan” and “Paradis Perdus” luscious torch songs, and “Here” a swirling, multi-lingual climax.
