MYLENE FARMER's "BLEU NOIR", by TICKLEBEAR

welcome to the narcissistic world of 

MYLENE FARMER,

where french pop reigns

and still manages to seduce you.

very moody,

the music is quite "chill" generally,

the words speak again of tortuous ways

to torture your soul

and yet,

you come out of it smiling...

pain has its own virtues

as it can be curative,

apparently!!

i grabbed this yesterday

and i must admit i remain fascinated with the woman and her work.

while not the greatest voice on the market,

she's always chose wisely the material she sang,

focusing on her strenght rather than her weakeness

and infusing everything with such a mood,

she just floats across your soul,

tainting it with her own.

this was nicely produced,

and she remains relevant

as she reflects our angst in this 21rst century.

i found out she was turning 50 this year,

just like me!!

admitedly,

i had never looked at her age,

perhaps in an attempt to keep up the mystery around her.

overall,

a most pleasant listening,
and my favorite would be:
"TOI, L'AMOUR".
