L'Autre (Mylène Farmer album)
''L'Autre...'' is the third studio album by Mylène Farmer, released on April 9, 1991. It contains the singer's biggest hit, "Désenchantée", which was number-one in France for nine weeks, and other three top ten hits. The album was generally well received by the critics and was a great success in terms of chart and sales (#1 for twenty weeks), becoming the best-selling album throughout the singer's career and the third best-selling album of all time in France.
== Background ==
After her first concert tour in 1989, Mylène Farmer released the new song "À quoi je sers..." which was a synthesis of her musical work and marked the end of an age. While the album ''En Concert'' was charted, she took advantage of the following months to travel in various countries including India, and to discover new literary works, such as those of Emil Cioran in which she drew inspiration.〔''L'Autre...'' (Mylenefarmeriscalled.net ) (Retrieved March 29, 2008)〕 She also became interested in painting and visited many art galleries and museums that were also sources of inspiration for her.〔''Mylène Farmer, biographie'', Bernard Violet, J'ai lu ed., 2004, p. 131 (ISBN 2-290-34916-X)〕 Then she decided to compose a third studio album which was recorded at the studios Mega. This one showed an evolution of the singer : indeed, the texts marked a change of mindset and testified to a transformation in her life including a greater openness to the other (hence the album's title). From that moment, the singer decided to more express herself and went to the meeting of her fellow man.〔''Télé 7 Jours'', 1991, "Mylène Farmer : "J'ai voulu changer de tête et changer de vie"" Martine Bourrillon (Devant-soi.com ) (Retrieved March 29, 2008)〕〔''L'Intégrale Mylene Farmer'', Erwan Chuberre, 2007, City Ed., p. 45-47 (ISBN 978-2-35288-108-7)〕〔''7 Extra Belge'', May 8, 1991, "L'Autre Mylène Farmer", T. de H. (Devant-soi.com ) (Retrieved March 29, 2008)〕 Writing for five months, this album was the result of all what has happened to Farmer "at personal and artistic levels".〔''Star Music'', 1991, (Devant-soi.com ) (Retrieved March 29, 2008)〕
For this new album, Farmer changed her hairstyle because she wanted a different look without changing : she opted for a very short hair cut, made by Jean-Marc Maniatis. The album cover, much more luminous than that of ''Ainsi soit je...'', shows Farmer lying on a white background with a crow on her shoulder (this cover was undoubtedly inspired by the Edgar Allan Poe's poem The Raven).〔''Le Dictionnaire des Chansons de Mylène Farmer'', Benoît Cachin, 2006, Tournon Ed., p. 46〕 The singer explained that the crow on the cover was not for her a sign of doom, but had rather a role of a protective ally.〔 The album was eventually released in April 1991, one month after the marketing of the single "Désenchantée" which was #1 on the French Singles Charts. It was released in Europe, in francophone countries and Japan.〔''Télé 7 Jours'', June 8, 1991, Cécile Tesseyre (Devant-soi.com ) (Retrieved March 29, 2008)〕
The album had the particularity to contain the first duet of Farmer, "Regrets", recorded with Jean-Louis Murat (in 1987, Farmer had already sung "Frantz" in a show with Guy Béart, but this duet hadn't appeared on an album).〔''Le Dictionnaire des Chansons de Mylène Farmer'', Benoît Cachin, 2006, Tournon Ed., p. 106〕 Laurent Boutonnat decided to record the songs of the album in English-language, but they were ultimately not used. He also wanted to release as singles all the songs from the album, but that didn't happen because of a lack of money.〔
