About
Mylène Farmer, French pop and avant-garde from Pierrefonds since 1961.
Mylène Farmer began her music career in 1984 with the single "Maman a tort," quickly establishing a distinctive style characterized by intricate themes of death, religion, and existentialism set to pop and electronic-influenced music. Her collaborations with composer and director Laurent Boutonnat shaped her early works, contributing to several million-selling albums from 1986's "Cendres de lune" to 1991's "L'Autre."
She is recognized for high-concept music videos and elaborate concerts commencing in 1989, pioneering theatrical pop shows in France. Over the decades, Farmer expanded her sound with rock and dance influences, notably in albums like "Anamorphosée" (1995) and "Innamoramento" (1999).
