Details have emerged about the new Mylène Farmer release, the album Monkey Me due to come out on December 3.There are few singers who have attracted such a mythical status over their career. Farmer isn't, as some would have it, simply a "French Madonna". I've said it before here, she's as much Kate Bush and Lady Gaga as well, to view her in simple terms for an English language audience.
The announcement of a new album, and a tour, was in itself an event on the scale of the release of the latest Apple product.
A small selection of around 50 journalists in France were sent details in a customised brass USB stick annoucing the album and a tour entitled Timeless to take place in autumn 2013.
The album will feature 12 tracks, all by Mylène and long-term collaborator Laurent Boutonnat, and all the songs on the new album, which was recorded this summer, are in French and a mix of uptempo tracks and ballads.
Her last full release was the album Bleu Noir in 2010 and her last tour was in 2009, so the appetite for the new shows is immense.
A single is to be released at the end of October, although the details of the title have not been confirmed.
The tour starts at Bercy on September 7 2013, and tickets go on sale on October 4.
