Remix XL is the third remix album by French singer Mylène Farmer, released on 19 April 2024 (CD, LP, Digital) on Stuffed Monkey and Sony Music. The album includes remixes of some of Farmer's most popular songs from different periods of her career. DJs such as Feder, The Hacker, Cut Killer, Arnaud Rebotini and The Avener worked on the album. Farmer recorded new vocals for some of the older tracks, which were originally released from 1986 to 1995; this is likely due to the fact that Universal Music retains the rights to the original versions of these songs.
Polydor Universal Music (Mylène's former record company) is offering a Collection - Intégrale 1986-1996 box set on October 28, 2022. This set contains 16 CDs, 211 tracks and a 48-page booklet. This is a support that follows the album Plus Grandir Best-Of 1986/1996 released on August 20, 2021.
Mylène Farmer's fifth live album to date, No.5 on Tour, documents her 2009 tour of France in support of her most recent studio album, Point de Suture (2008). The standard edition of album includes 20 songs spread across two discs, including a bunch of her greatest hits performed in the electro-rock style of Point de Suture. Though some of these songs are also included on her previous live albums, most recently Avant Que l'Ombre…A Bercy (2006), N°5 on Tour stands apart from its in-concert predecessors on account of its new arrangements, abundance of new material, and recording quality so pristine that it sounds as though the album were recorded in a studio with overdubbed interjections of audience noise and stage banter.
Anamorphosée is the fourth studio album by Mylène Farmer, released on 17 October 1995. Led by the number-one single "XXL", the album was something of a departure from her previous work. Although it received mixed reviews from critics, the album was very successful, peaking at no.1 and staying on the French album chart for almost two years.
Mylène Jeanne Gautier was born in the town of Pierrefonds near Montreal on September 12th 1961. Her father, an engineer, was employed in Canada at the time building a dam system and Mylène and her brothers and sister (Brigitte, Michel and Jean Loup), were brought up in the French-speaking province of Québec. When Mylène was 10 the family returned to France, settling in the Paris suburb of Ville d'Avray. In her teenage years Mylène was passionate about horses and she would devote all her free time and energy to riding. But 17-year-old Mylène's other great passion in life was acting and she would eventually abandon the stables to take a three-year course at the Cours Florent, a prestigious drama school in Paris.
