Jean-Michel Jarre "Téo & Téa"

Téo & Téa is the sixteenth studio album by French electronic musician and composer Jean-Michel Jarre, released on 26 March 2007 by Warner Music. The album was released in the U.S. three weeks later, on 16 April 2007.

A concept album, the work tells, in musical form, a metaphorical love story of fictional cartoon characters Téo and Téa, two lookalike creatures (one male, one female) who meet, fall in love and spend one day together. They are seen in the computer-animated video clip accompanying the title track.

The album was launched, in physical form, as an edition containing just the CD and also as a "De Luxe Edition" containing the CD bundled with a DVD. The DVD features the same tracks mixed for 5.1 surround sound, as well as the video clip for the title track in high-definition, viewable on personal computers.

The launch marketing campaign of Téo & Téa started in January 2007, two months prior to the album's launch, with video teasers on YouTube, a CD single for clubs and radio stations, pages on Myspace, T-shirts featuring three different motifs on Spreadshirt, and a DVD single released to clubs and TV stations. In all these cases the name of Jean Michel Jarre was not mentioned or associated with the music. A promotional audio CD of the album was released to the press in February 2007, this time mentioning Jarre's name. On 20 March 2007, an official companion website was launched.

A promotional CD single, including the track "Téo & Téa", and a promotional DVD single including the video clip for the same track, were released to clubs and radio stations in February 2007, without reference to composer or artist. A promotional audio CD of the album was released to the press in February 2007.

The iTunes release of the album includes some exclusive bonuses: the videos "Making of (English)" – 8:35 and "Making of (French)" – 11:30; pre-orders also included the tracks "Téo & Téa — 6:00 AM Special" and "Jean Michel Jarre's Track-by-Track Commentary" (English and French versions).

French hypermarket chain Carrefour included an exclusive 32-page booklet with the album.
