Force Majeure
STYE779 · Force Majeure · Simon Tellier, Roland Bingaman
3:15·95 bpm·Dm·3 versions
Pop, Indie PopFeel Good, Funky, Introspective

The title cue: a mid-tempo 95 BPM synthpop groove in D minor built on programmed beat, warm bass and layered synths under a male lead vocal. Romantic and slightly wistful rather than euphoric, it works as a full song with a clear verse-chorus shape and a definite ending.

3:10·92 bpm·C·3 versions
Pop, Indie PopHardship, Heartfelt, Hopeful

The album's emotional outlier: 92 BPM in C major, with strings added to the beat, bass and synth bed and a heartfelt male vocal about pushing through hardship. Hopeful and uplifting, it builds to an anthemic resolve suited to triumph-over-adversity storytelling.

3:10·115 bpm·Em·3 versions
Pop, Indie PopFeel Good, Funky, Introspective

At 115 BPM in E minor with a driving 4/4 kick and electric guitar cutting through the synths, this is one of the more propulsive, dancefloor-leaning songs here. Funky and forward-moving with a male lead vocal, good for footage that needs continuous momentum.

3:07·105 bpm·B flat·3 versions
Pop, Indie PopFeel Good, Funky, Introspective

105 BPM in B flat major, the brightest-keyed track of the set: beat, bass and synths under a warm male vocal, tagged positive and uplifting as well as romantic. Feel-good and open-hearted, it suits people-focused footage that needs sincerity rather than edge.

Sunny Again
STYE779 · Force Majeure · Simon Tellier, Roland Bingaman
3:29·92 bpm·Gm·3 versions
Pop, Indie PopFeel Good, Funky, Introspective

A relaxed 92 BPM groove in G minor with electric guitar over the synth-and-bass foundation, the longest-feeling of the slower songs at 3:28. The title and uplifting tagging point to a shift from grey to sunny, so it fits recovery, reopening or after-the-storm narratives.

What If
STYE779 · Force Majeure · Simon Tellier, Roland Bingaman
3:38·108 bpm·G#m·3 versions
Pop, Indie PopFeel Good, Funky, Introspective

108 BPM in G sharp minor, and at 3:37 one of the longest cuts here, giving more room for the arrangement of beat, bass, synths and male vocal to develop. The minor key and questioning title lend it a reflective, slightly yearning cast within the album's funky 80s frame.

3:37·117 bpm·G#m·3 versions
Pop, Indie PopFeel Good, Funky, Introspective

Same G sharp minor and 3:37 length as its neighbour but pushed to 117 BPM with a pulsing 4/4 kick, making it the more club-facing of the pair. Synth-driven and funky with a male lead, it delivers steady four-on-the-floor drive for high-energy cutting.

Keep It Rolling
STYE779 · Force Majeure · Simon Tellier, Roland Bingaman
3:32·120 bpm·Am·3 versions
Pop, Indie PopFeel Good, Funky, Introspective

The fastest cue on the album at 120 BPM in A minor, with acoustic guitar strumming against the synth bass and programmed beat for a slightly organic edge. Positive, uplifting and forward-rolling, exactly as the title suggests, with a male vocal and a clean finish.

STYE779 · Force Majeure · Simon Tellier, Roland Bingaman
3:14·88 bpm·Am·3 versions
Pop, Indie PopFeel Good, Funky, Introspective

The slowest song here at 88 BPM in A minor, a laid-back synth, bass and beat groove with a male vocal that leans introspective more than driving despite the title. Suits mid-scene lifestyle footage and quieter romantic beats that still want a pulse.

Coming Undone
STYE779 · Force Majeure · Simon Tellier, Roland Bingaman
3:24·109 bpm·Em·3 versions
Pop, Indie PopFeel Good, Funky, Introspective

109 BPM in E minor, synth-led with beat, bass and male vocal, sharing the album's funky 80s pop language but with a title that pulls toward emotional unravelling. A good bridge cue between the album's brighter uptempo songs and its more reflective minor-key material.
