Mylene Farmer - Histoires de... [3CD Box Set] (2020)

It is the third best-of by Mylène Farmer, after les mots (published in 2001) and 2001-2011 (published in 2011). As with these two records, Histoires de is dressed in a particularly sophisticated visual, due to Jean-Baptiste Mondino, who had already signed the cover of disobedience in 2018. The assured posture of Mylène Farmer gives way here to a mysterious figure, a dark silhouette where only her look and her Albator haircut appear in the open. This compilation is divided into three separate parts, which respect a certain chronology. Thus, the first CD consists of live pieces from various and varied concerts, but which correspond more or less to the first part of Mylène's career (Libertine, without counterfeiting, disenchanted…). The other two CDs are a collection of his latest albums. It is funny to note that the more we advance in the tracklist, the less his partner Laurent Boutonnat is present. In this respect, one of the strengths of this best - of is to depict the evolution of a mythical duo that, over time, has been able to stay close, while freeing themselves from each other exponentially.
