Another element of the project that helped Yseult break new ground was her decision to sing for the first time, mostly in English, which opened up a whole new world of genres: “rock, alternative, punk, techno, experimental,” she recalls breathlessly. “Sonically, I wanted to try something more ambitious – something very intense and bold – and I wanted to do something with a stadium sound.” Indeed, equally notable when it comes to the album’s sound is the strong presence of electric guitars, especially on “Stupid(e)” and “Cute,” which are brimming with punk-rock energy. “My background is more vulnerable and sensitive French classical songs, but I think in terms of my personality, in terms of my character, I’m a fucking punk,” Yseult says. “I don’t care about the rules. I don’t fit into the system. So that’s the side that I want to show right now with this new project. I’m like, I’m going to put my fear aside, and I want to be a rock star, period. But I want to be, like, the black version.”

On the subject of integrating into the English-speaking world, she pauses at one point during the interview to ask about her English. When I reassure her that it’s fine, she turns back to her group in the car and exclaims, “English is Anglicizing, guys!” For her, singing in the language is not just about exploring new sounds, but also about her ambitions: While she’s grateful for the success she’s had in France, she now feels ready to take on the world. It’s this sensibility that has led her to the fashion world over the past few years, and the international platform that collaborations with brands like Dior and Balenciaga have given her.

“I understand why some artists don’t want to show their true selves to the world, because you have to be strong to take on the negativity of the world,” she said. “But for me, showing your vulnerability in music is the opposite of being weak. It’s hard to show your true selves to the world and not hide. And with Mental, it was important to show what I was going through. It can be hard to listen to the lyrics of ‘Suicide,’ and it was even harder for me to sing that song over and over again and face those fears again. But I love being on top of my art on stage. I embrace every part of my body, my skin color, my hair, my beauty. It’s important for me to show that vulnerability so people can connect with me.”
