French rapper SDM releases 'In Infinitum,' his fourth album, marked by a hybrid approach that combines music with extensive visual elements. The project includes the 'visual album' initially screened in cinemas on November 13 and 15, 2026, followed by availability on Prime Video starting November 27. Alongside frequent collaborator SCH, the project explores introspective themes and cosmic imagery, highlighting the artist's return to the essence of his own creation, away from many previous collaborations.

The video direction for the project, credited to Frédéric de Pontcharra, known for his collaborations with Damso or Booba, aims to build a unified story that connects the 15 tracks of the album without using a conventional script. The artist and director worked closely in Norway, during the recording sessions, to find the common narrative thread between the different musical universes of the songs. De Pontcharra transformed some creative constraints into experimental opportunities, such as the surreal sequence featuring collaboration with SCH, which utilized green screen, live action, 3D, and artificial intelligence.

The visual narrative is centered on the myth of Excalibur and King Arthur, exploring the question: 'What is done with power when it is offered to us?' The protagonist is described as a 'chosen knight,' who fights both for his loved ones and himself, refusing the crown and throne. Short-form content is deliberately avoided in favor of an immersive listening and viewing experience, comparable to Laylow's approach on the album 'L’Étrange Histoire de Mr. Anderson'. Filming took place over a short period, starting September 22, 2026, resulting from total trust between the artist and the director. [1]
