L’Ultrableu is a 10" LP by French singer-songwriter Benjamin Biolay, released in 2026 as a limited
vinyl edition. Conceptually, it is an extension of his eleventh studio project Le Disque bleu, adding six new songs that further explore the chromatic and emotional universe initiated by that double album. Created between Paris, Sète, Brussels, Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro, it carries the same cosmopolitan spirit and
cinematic atmosphere that have become hallmarks of Biolay’s work.
The album belongs to the broad
field of French pop, infused with rock elements, chanson française and Latin American influences, reflecting Biolay’s blend of sophisticated arrangements and literary lyricism. The mood suggested by its title points toward shades of melancholy and nocturnal elegance, with smooth, carefully orchestrated textures that echo the lush, transcontinental sound palette of its parent record. As a collector-focused 10" LP, L’Ultrableu occupies a special place in his
discography: both a standalone object and a complementary chapter that deepens the blue-toned, introspective world he developed in the mid-2020s.
