“Love Triangle” was produced by SebastiAn, with Angèle and longtime collaborator Tristan Salvati on co-production. The track was recorded in Brussels, with Angèle singing in English while Polachek sings in both French and English against pulsing electronic textures.
“This song first came from a conversation I overheard at a dinner in Brussels," Angèle says of the track's origins. "Some friends were debating the particularities of a love triangle, and I remember being completely captivated by their stories. I wrote ‘Love Triangle’ down on a little piece of paper under the table."
"The song plays with the boundary between reality and fantasy," she explains. "You never completely know whether what is happening is actually being lived or simply imagined. SebastiAn’s presence allows the desire to become almost instinctive, something that moves forward like an obsession. And Caroline’s voice, both airy and powerful, brings something almost supernatural to the music. The triangle exists musically too: three worlds, three voices, three sensibilities coming together.
“While recording ‘Love Triangle’ in a house in Hollywood, Angèle and I discovered that as teenagers we’d both performed at the same jazz bar in Brussels, L’Archiduc," Polachek adds. "Somehow it makes total sense that we’re meeting here on the other side now, the hard sexy electro side, where we’re slithering around these bilingual whispered verses, almost without singing at all…”
