Mylène Farmer L’emprise

Strings that catch us from the first seconds and already, the grip is total. Then his voice, high pitched, a few seconds later, and his words, more sacred than ever. Here we are embarked on a symphonic journey, in the choir of a Gothic cathedral where the heart of the 61-year-old artist has been reborn in our ears for nearly forty years. What immediately distinguishes "L'Emprise" from the previous albums of the icon of French song, is the coherence, the harmony of this album. The singer has nevertheless called on four different collaborations: Woodkid signs seven titles (the marriage of their two universes hits the mark), her faithful friend Moby composed the two most dynamic songs for her (including the perfect remedy for melancholy "Reignite the stars"), Archive and finally the group Aaron, with the UFO "Rayon vert" which has found it's place, electro comma in an album strewn with lyrical ballads (one thinks of the masterful "Que l'aube est belle").

« L’EMPRISE », le nouvel album de Mylène Farmer, sortira le 25 novembre. Il sera disponible en version digitale et aux formats physiques CD (standard, coversleeve limité, collector grand format) et vinyle (double vinyle standard). L'album comportera 14 enregistrements dont « À tout jamais », le premier single composé et réalisé par Woodkid, accompagné d’un clip signé Tobias Gremmler. L’Artiste sera sur scène l’année prochaine avec « NEVERMORE 2023 » la plus grande tournée des stades de l’histoire de la musique en France.

L'Emprise is the forthcoming twelfth studio album by French singer Mylène Farmer, to be released on 25 November 2022 by Stuffed Monkey.

Avec cette biographie, Alain Wodrascka raconte Mylène Farmer selon un angle inédit, qui semble pourtant avoir irrigué son œuvre tout au long de sa carrière : son lien ambivalent avec la religion catholique, aux dogmes de laquelle elle se soumet tout en les transgressant.
