Mylène Farmer, born Mylène Jeanne Gautier is a French recording artist, songwriter, occasional actress, writer and entrepreneur.
She has sold more than 30 million records in France and is among the most successful recording artists of all-time there. She holds the record for the most number one hits in the French charts, with fifteen to date – eight of which were consecutive. Twelve of her albums have also reached number one in France.
In 1984, Farmer met Laurent Boutonnat, a young film student, after answering a newspaper advert for an actress for a small film he was working on. Farmer and Boutonnat became friends and forged a creative partnership, writing and producing the music. Boutonnat, whose ambition was to become a film director, became the creative force behind Farmer's videos.

She's great! Oui mais non was one of the first songs i learned in french when i took the class in college. I've only listened to her bleu noir album, but I love most of it.
