Background and release

edit

Pascal Nègre, the president of Universal Music, officially announced on 28 January 2008 in the French newspaper Le Figaro that Farmer would release a new album in 2008.[1][2] In the following days this information was covered by other media outlets with initial reports suggesting that it would be entitled Onirisme.[3][4][5][6][7] At the time, it was announced that it would be composed of 11 tracks,[8] and it would be released in the last quarter of 2008.[9] Several song titles were relayed in the media, such as "Onirisme", "Faire... et défaire", "Dans ton antre", "Ma nature est...", "Excaliburia", "Who's Mylène?", "Aux points cardinaux", "Je m'expose et m'impose", "Poésie visuelle", "The Witch of Dreams", "Voyage au bout de tes sens ", and it would also contain an acoustic version of Farmer's 1996 hit, "Rêver".[10][11][12] A rumor that spread on the Internet claimed that the first single would be "À propos de nous".[citation needed] But finally, Thierry Suc, one of the producers, announced on 21 May that it would be "Dégénération". It was scheduled to be released on radio on 19 June. At the time, he also said that the album was not yet finished.[13]

On 19 June, French radio RTL stated that the album would be released on 25 August. Finally, on 30 June, French internet store "Virginmega" revealed the name of the album, Point de suture, its cover and the track listing, and announced its release for 20 August.[14] On 31 July, the newspaper Le Parisien stated that the album would be released in two formats: digitally and as a mobile phone[clarification needed] in a limited edition. According to its edition of 30 August 2008, a duet with David Bowie was originally scheduled for this album, but was eventually canceled because of health problems of the English singer.[15]

In December 2008, a limited collectible mobile phone edition (W980i) was released (2,000 numbered copies: 1,000 on the Internet + 1,000 at SFR Studios). This edition contained the album "Point de Suture", two remixes, a video, a making of, ringtones, visuals and themes of the singer.[16] "Si j'avais au moins..." was released as the 3rd single on 16 February. On 27 March, Radio NRJ revealed the fourth single from the album was "C'est dans l'air".

At the concerts in Douai (Gayant Expo) and in St. Petersburg, a remix of "Sextonik" by French DJ Tomer G was played. The DJ stated on his site that his remix was done for a single, thus revealing that "Sextonik" was the fifth single from the album.

Title and cover art

edit

"All the stitches of the world cannot sew us again"

– Al Pacino, Carlito's Way

For the name of this album, Farmer drew her inspiration from a line of Al Pacino's in the 1993 film Carlito's Way, which appears inside the digipack edition of the CD: "All the stitches of the world cannot sew us again".[17] To promote the album, Farmer appeared on the TV news of 31 August 8 pm, on TF1. Interviewed by Claire Chazal, she explained that she used the singular in the title of the album because it is (in French-language) a pun between "Stitch" (which evokes a hope) and "No suture" (which expresses a despair).[18] In an interview for the French gay magazine Têtu, Farmer confided that if somebody did not know her work, she would wish that this person learned to know her through the hidden track of the album, "Ave Maria", which she had previously performed in June 2008 during the funeral of the composer Frédéric Botton.[19]

The photos illustrating this album were made by a Japanese photographer named Tani Atsushi. The cover as well as the booklet show a doll covered with scars, with surgical instruments in the foreground. There is only one photo of Farmer inside the booklet, with her back turned.

Music and lyrics

edit

This album was announced as being very different from the previous ones in musical and promotional terms.[20][21] During an interview prior to the album's release, Farmer explained: "If I compare it with the previous album Avant que l'ombre..., it will probably be more electronic... with many "up tempo" songs."[22] According to Thierry Suc, "in this album, there will be a little of all the universes that characterize Mylène's albums".[23] Critics noted that the album contains "melancholy ballads" (even if they are fewer on this album than on Avant que l'ombre...)[24] as well as "songs with electro/techno sounds"[25] and "electrodance" songs.[26]

The subjects in this album are "sexuality, uneasiness, mantras, coded plays on words",[27] "melancholy",[28] "extreme love, purity, loneliness",[29] "life, death, love tackled in turn with seriousness or humor".[24] The album also evokes "the resilience and the indelible scars of the childhood" with numerous quotations and literary references (Süskind, Schubert, Baudelaire...).[30]

The album received mixed reviews. La Voix du Nord published reviews from the singer's fans proving that the reactions are shared between "disappointed love and ecstasy".[31] La Meuse and 20 Minutes summed up many critics deeming this album is "nor completely failed nor completely exciting",[32] "without surprise but pleasant".[33]

On 17 January 2009, the album was awarded 'Francophone Album of the Year' on the 2009 NRJ Music Awards, broadcast on TF1.

Neutral reviews

edit

According to Le Parisien, "a gothico-melancholic muddle fills some vaporous songs of the album". The newspaper blamed it for the lack of novelty and the "disappointing duet" with Moby, but also said that this one "shows itself finally effective when it accelerates the rhythm, takes up the sound, let itself overcame by the electro heart-beat".[34] Ouest-France said this album is "a true marketing blow", noting that "the electro turning point of the artist surprises, delights or disappoints..."[35] According to Metro, Point de Suture is "an electro-pop album without surprise".[36] After underlining the lack of promotion, French newspaper Le Figaro qualified this album as "massive", "discreet" and "commercial". It also stated that with this new album, "Farmer does not envisage a revolution or even a revelation", and that it has "a methodical faithfulness" to her previous works. It also reproached the "naivety of certain texts" and their "tendency for abstraction".[27] Libération said, throughout this album, "the music seems to be only a pretext in a whole declination of subsidiary yields" ; it contains "ten songs unwinding a ambient techno punctuated with ballads with voice of head without conviction".[37] For RFI Musique, this "disc [is] not really daring", "rather usual, even routine", which seems especially made for the French tour of the next year.[29] For Le Monde, this album constitutes "a slight disappointment" : it has a "dance rhythmic efficiency" but "a mere nothing of formal ambition is missing".[38] La Meuse, as well as Télé Moustique,[39] concluded that, with this album, "Farmer has definitively ceased to surprise".[40]

Negative reviews

edit

Very critical, 20 Minutes stated the album "does not play either in the sobriety or in the sharpness. Abstruse lyrics, erotic allusions, vapid melodies or agreed electro: Mylène Farmer is not afraid of the ludicrous".[41] Belgian newspaper La Dernière Heure described Point de Suture as "an album rather disjointed, without any real surprise, but containing some potential hits".[28] Le Journal du Dimanche deemed this "seventh studio disc confirms the breakdown of inspiration" of the duo, adding: "When we listen to the disc, we hesitate between distress and frank laugh". "Point de Suture oscillates between bad taste, streetwalkers melodies and noisy tunes", with a "poetry a mere nothing pretentious".[42] The Canadian musical critic Voir qualified this disc as "a pompous and overproduced, static and cold electro-pop album".[43] For Cité Gay, this album is "fair" and "kitsch".[44] And for Télé 2 Semaines, "the lyrics are naive, the electro-pop music foreseeable".[45]

Positive reviews

edit

According to Le Matin, this disc "tries to reconcile all the publics of [the singer]". In it, "she combines all that which makes her strength: techno lightings, evident melodies, easy to remember, ballads touching straight to the heart, ambiguous texts". It also said that the last two songs are the best ones of the album.[46] Sud-Ouest deemed that Farmer "remains faithful to the universe and the sound that ensure her success since 1985".[25] La Provence underlined "the evident quality of the album, taking up again with the romantic and restless run-ups of the past, but with a beautiful tonic vigour".[47] For the Swiss magazine Télé Top Matin, certain songs from the album are musically similar to Depeche Mode's universe and concluded that nothing can be reproached to this album.[48] According to Music Orange, the songs are "impeccably worked", adding : "A unique style, recognizable at first listening", "a succession of puns of words (of pains) or of texts with double-meanings on background of melodies easy to remember and terribly effective".[24] Le Nouvel Observateur noted that the Farmer's "voice remains fine, but is clear and most often put forward", and made a comparison with Jeanne Mas.[49] L'Humanité deemed "the singer tries something new with Point de Suture".[50] As for Voici, this album is a "beautiful deal" in which "Farmer has been able to regenerate after 25-year career", with this "collection of energy songs".[51] Musiqueradio.com website elected Point de suture as "album of the year".[52]
