Hundreds of thousands of Mylène Farmer fans are over the moon. While the superstar’s last tour, completed in 2024 and called “Nevermore”, could suggest an end to his career, this is not the case. The singer will release her 13th studio album, titled “Egrégore”, on October 30, the company that represents her, Hashtag NP, announced on social networks on Wednesday.
The announcement of the name of the album is accompanied by a photo of Mylène Farmer’s face, head back and eyes closed, caressed by several hands. The photo is signed by photographer Jean-Baptiste Mondino.
The word “egregore” designates a group spirit which would be influenced by the common desires of people linked in the pursuit of the same goal. The artist confided that it was his favorite word, in an interview with the daily newspaper The Parisian in September.
This new album follows the release at the end of May of “C’est à qui le tour”, a song with electro accents produced by composer DJ Lewis.
30 million albums sold
Since “Maman a tort” in 1984, Mylène Farmer has imprinted her singularity on French song, between corrosive and poetic texts, modern compositions but also stage and visual work pushed to its maximum. “Egrégore” will be released four years after “L’Emprise”, his last album largely produced by Woodkid.
Mylène Farmer, 64, also unveiled a new release in 2025, “Confession”, performed at the opening of the Cannes Film Festival in tribute to American filmmaker David Lynch.
With more than 30 million albums sold, the star, who cultivates media silence, is able to bring together generations of fans in his concerts, where his hits like “Désenchantée”, “Libertine”, “Pourvu qu’elles sont éclairs” and “XXL” resonate.
