Belgian singer-songwriter Angèle released her third studio album, Instinct, on October 16, 2026, through GGL Records and Sony Music.

The 13-track album brings together pop and electronic music, featuring collaborations with Justice, Soulwax, Caroline Polachek and SebastiAn.

Electronic Music Collaborations

Electronic music plays an important role throughout Instinct, with several artists contributing to the album's sound.

French duo Justice collaborate with Angèle on “What You Want,” while Belgian electronic duo Soulwax appear on “Trop.”

“Love Triangle” features American singer Caroline Polachek and French producer SebastiAn. The track combines French and English vocals with club-oriented electronic production.

Together, these collaborations introduce different electronic influences into Angèle's pop sound.

Thirteen Tracks and a New Musical Direction

Instinct follows Angèle's previous albums, Brol (2018) and Nonante-Cinq (2021).

Across its 13 tracks, the album explores relationships, independence and personal change. It also introduces more English-language songwriting alongside Angèle's established French-language style.

Songs including “Dis-le,” “Une seule vie” and “Au revoir” sit alongside the album's electronic collaborations, connecting its pop songwriting with a wider range of production styles.

Instinct Tour Announced for 2027

Angèle will support the album with an international tour in 2027, including dates across Europe and North America.

The announced schedule includes Paris, Brussels, Montreal, New York, Los Angeles, London and Berlin.

The tour follows the release of Instinct, Angèle's first studio album in nearly five years.
