Mylene Farmer D'un Autre Part

Mylene Farmer's ninth album is named Monkey Me & it'll be an instant success like her previous ones. The first single "A L'Ombre" marks the come-back of composer Laurent Boutonnat, playing on woman/child duality, a happy star but also "at the edge of the edge"…

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 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.

It is the third best-of by Mylène Farmer, after les mots (published in 2001) and 2001-2011 (published in 2011). As with these two records, Histoires de is dressed in a particularly sophisticated visual, due to Jean-Baptiste Mondino, who had already signed the cover of disobedience in 2018. The assured posture of Mylène Farmer gives way here to a mysterious figure, a dark silhouette where only her look and her Albator haircut appear in the open. This compilation is divided into three separate parts, which respect a certain chronology.
