Mylène Farmer

[stepYOU1234]

I've seen Mylène Farmer mentioned by other people on this forum so let's get ourselves a thread! She is my joint favourite singer with Ayu.

If you have never heard of Mylène then I'll post some videos of her most well known songs later. She is a French singer known for her grand cinematic videos, cryptic lyrics full of erudite references and word play and for being enigmatic- you won't find her on social media or even often giving interviews. She also gives a heck of a concert.

Her tenth album, Interstellaires, was released on the 6th November.

Desenchantee is regarding as one of her best and most popular songs. The music video is the short version


Je T'aime Melancholie is a classic case of Mylene's upbeat music with dark lyrics


California is another fan favourite


C'est dans L'air is one of my more recent favourites


I'm also including Avant que l'ombre for its rather incredible performance. This was a sombre but theatrical concert closer. Think crying fans, waterfall on stage and videos projected onto the waterfall.


Some of her other classic songs are Pourvu qu'elles soient douces, Sans contrefaçon, Libertine, Ainsi soit je, Rêver and XXL.
