L'Emprise (English: Influence) is the twelfth studio album by French recording artist Mylène Farmer, released on 25 November 2022 by Stuffed Monkey.{{cite web|author=Théau Berthelot|url=http://www.chartsinfrance.net/Mylene-Farmer/news-122778.html|title=Mylène Farmer : son nouvel album s'affiche dans le métro parisien|language=fr|publisher=Pure Charts|date=13 October 2022|access-date=19 October 2022}} The album was produced by Yoann Lemoine, AaRON and Moby, among others. Described as a return to the darker instrumentation of her earlier records, L'Emprise is a concept album which deals with a person who is under psychological manipulation and breaks free from it. In Farmer's words: "Who has not crossed the path of a so-called narcissistic pervert? Who has not one day been under the influence ("l'emprise") of such a person? Feminine or masculine, it doesn't matter. Ultrasensitive beings inhabited by doubts that gnaw at them are ideal prey. The important thing is to identify it and try to combat this grip. It's a theme that upsets me and often puts me in a black rage."{{Cite news |last=Béglé |first=Jérôme |date=20 November 2022 |title=EXCLUSIF.

L'Emprise received positive reviews from music critics, with many noting it as a return to form for Farmer. Reviewers generally praised the album's cohesiveness and melancholic atmosphere, but some lamented the absence of radio-friendly songs.
Commercially, the album was successful, achieving the gold status in France (50,000 copies sold) within the first week of its release.{{Cite web |date=2022-12-03 |title=M Radio |url=https://mradio.fr/news/musique/48844/mylene-farmer-les-chiffres-de-l-emprise-affolent-les-compteurs |access-date=2022-12-04 |website=M Radio |language=fr-FR}} The album also peaked at number one in France, Wallonia, and Switzerland, making it Farmer's first release to do so.
The album spawned four singles: "À tout jamais", "Rayon vert" featuring French duo AaRON, "Rallumer les étoiles, and the title track "L'Emprise." To further support the album, Farmer embarked on her Nevermore 2023 tour, her first tour since 2019 and the first one to play completely in stadiums.
Background and recording
Following the announcement of the Nevermore 2023 stadium tour, several news outlets speculated that a new studio album would be released to coincide with the tour.{{cite web |date=27 September 2021 |title=Nevermore 2023 : la tournée des stades de Mylène Farmer en 2023 avec 2 concerts au Stade de France |url=https://www.sortiraparis.com/scenes/concert-musique/articles/254287-nevermore-2023-la-tournee-des-stades-de-mylene-farmer-en-2023-avec-2-concerts-au-stade-de-france |access-date=19 October 2022 |website=Sortiraparis.com |language=fr}} In the spring of 2022, media outlets detailed that Farmer was working on a new record with Woodkid and Moby as well as the bands Archive and AaRON. The singer had previously collaborated with Moby and Archive on the 2010 album Bleu noir.{{cite web |author=Valentine Rousseau |date=13 May 2022 |title=Moby, Woodkid, AaRon et Archive sur le prochain album de Mylène Farmer |url=https://www.leparisien.fr/culture-loisirs/musique/moby-woodkid-aaron-et-archive-sur-le-prochain-album-de-mylene-farmer-13-05-2022-KT2QGYP2TFG53NNO74AWBM4E2M.php |access-date=19 October 2022 |website=Le Parisien |language=fr}}

According to Farmer, Lemoine approached her with the idea of collaborating after "she had long wanted to approach him."{{Cite web |title=EXCLUSIF.

Lemoine would first compose the music and melody and send it to Farmer with his own voice, who would then write the lyrics. Meanwhile, Farmer and Moby worked on two songs remotely.{{Cite web |title=Moby se livre sur sa collaboration avec Mylène Farmer : "Elle est incroyable" |url=http://www.chartsinfrance.net/Mylene-Farmer/news-122445.html |access-date=2023-01-31 |website=chartsinfrance.net}} The recording of the album took place at Studio Guillaume Tell in Paris, in the presence of a symphonic orchestra.{{Cite web |title=Mylène Farmer - Album L'emprise |url=https://www.mylene.net/mylene/mylene-farmer-l-emprise.php }}
Composition and lyrics
L'Emprise is a pop record which incorporates synth-pop, electropop, new wave and baroque pop influences. The instrumentation features predominately violins, synths and drums.
The album opens with "Invisibles," a symphonic ballad that was the first song composed for the album. Lyrically, it deals with religious love.{{Cite web |first= |date=3 December 2022 |title=Musique.

The third song, "Que l'aube est belle," is a ballad that features ornamental orchestration, while its lyrics deal with Farmer's anxieties observing the world. Exploring the power dynamics of relationships and the darker aspects of human nature, the title track has been compared to lead single "À tout jamais," both sonically and lyrically. "Do You Know Who I Am" is a downtempo electropop song in which Farmer "recounts the harsh observation of having been too faded in favor of the other."{{Cite news |date=2022-11-25 |title=Critique de L'Emprise {{!}} Délivrée |url=https://www.lapresse.ca/arts/musique/2022-11-25/critique-de-l-emprise/delivree.php |access-date=2023-01-31 |website=La Presse |language=fr|last1=Côté |first1=Émilie }} The sixth song, "Rallumer les étoiles" is an up-tempo song featuring new wave instrumentation. Exploring themes that are characteristic of Farmer's work, the song deals with God, angels and love, and references Guillaume Apollinaire's play The Breasts of Tiresias. Critics noted its similarity to Eurythmics, Farmer's 2010 song "Bleu noir" and Moby's 1999 album Play.{{Cite web |date=2022-11-25 |title=On a écouté "L'Emprise", le nouvel album de Mylène Farmer : notre verdict |url=https://www.moustique.be/culture/musique/2022/11/25/on-a-ecoute-lemprise-de-mylene-farmer-notre-verdict-251497 |access-date=2023-01-31 |website=moustique.be |language=fr}}

Written by French pop duo, "Rayon vert" is a synth-pop song, in which Farmer and Simon Buret sing about being alone on an asteroid. The eighth song, "Ode à l'apesanteur," is a piano-driven ballad. The next song, "Que je devienne..." is a Gothic ballad with a complex instrumentation consisting of violins, drums, church bells, and a choir.{{Cite web |last=János |first=Janurik |date=12 December 2022 |title=Mylène Farmer tizenkettedszerre |url=http://www.zeneforum.hu/zeneforum_hirek/t/myl_ne_farmer_tizenkettedszerre.htm |website=Zenefórum}} Sonically compared to a lament and Bond ballads, Farmer addresses Stefan Zweig, Charles Baudelaire, Emily Dickinson and Edgar Allan Poe and sings of becoming their muse.{{Cite web |title=Mylène Farmer - Chanson Que je devienne... |url=https://mylene.net/mylene/mylene-farmer-que-je-devienne.php }} The lyrics also evoke Farmer's song "Jardin de Vienne" from her 1988 album Ainsi soit je.... "Ne plus renaître" is a downtempo electronic rock song, which features an interpolation of Farmer's song "Ave Maria" from her 2008 album Point de suture. The eleventh song, "D'un autre part" is a mid-tempo ballad featuring both electronic and symphonic instrumentation.{{Cite news |date=2022-11-25 |title=Mylène Farmer de retour avec " L'Emprise ", toutes cordes dehors |language=fr |work=Le Monde.fr |url=https://www.lemonde.fr/culture/article/2022/11/25/mylene-farmer-de-retour-avec-l-emprise-toutes-cordes-dehors_6151628_3246.html |access-date=2023-01-31}} Sonically, it has drawn comparisons to the tracks "Á tout jamais" and "L'Emprise."{{Cite web |title=Mylène Farmer : que vaut son nouvel album "L'emprise" ?

L'Emprise was finally released on 25 November 2022. The album was made available in four physical formats: the standard edition, a limited edition CD coversleeve, CD collector grand format, and double LP. Physical editions were available for pre-order through Fnac and Amazon France.
The artwork features Farmer as a three-dimensional avatar in fetal position. 3D scanning was employed to capture Farmer, made by French studio Scan Engine.{{Citation |title=Le making-of du clip "A tout jamais" de Mylène Farmer réalisé à Grenoble |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDw3mhgXu5Q |language=en |access-date=2023-01-31}} Woodkid designed the avatar on the album cover and in the booklet, where the figure of Farmer is seen losing a shell-like structure, in accordance with the album's narrative of overcoming manipulation and gaining power over oneself.{{Cite web |date=3 December 2022 |title=INTERVIEW DE WOODKID |url=https://www.mylene.net/mylene/woodkid-interview-liberation-03-decembre-2022.php |website=Mylene.net}}
Singles
Three singles were released in promotion of the album. "À tout jamais" served as the lead single on 26 August 2022, with the audio premiering on Farmer's YouTube channel and streaming services on that day. It received critical acclaim from music critics for its production and strong lyrics. Têtu noted that the single marked a return to the "Gothic" soundscape of Farmer's career beginnings and deemed it a break-up song.{{Cite web |title="À tout jamais" : Mylène Farmer revient en guerrière goth |url=https://tetu.com/2022/08/26/musique-chanson-mylene-farmer-revient-nouveau-titre-a-tout-jamais/ |access-date=2023-01-31 |website=tetu.com/ |language=fr-FR}} On 12 September 2022, Farmer's birthday, the music video was unveiled.

The second single, "Rayon vert" featuring AaRON was released on 4 November 2022. Critics reacted to the song positively, mentioning that the production and AaRON's lyrics blend successfully into Farmer's usual soundscape, however, upon the release of the album, some critics noted that the song was an outlier with its electronic production. Its accompanying music video, shot by François Hanss, was released on 14 November 2022.{{Cite web |date=2022-11-15 |title=Des aliens, un liquide bleu et un Rayon vert : le nouveau clip Mylène Farmer avec Aaron mis sur un orbite |url=https://www.lefigaro.fr/musique/des-aliens-une-boisson-bleue-et-un-rayon-vert-le-nouveau-clip-mylene-farmer-avec-aaron-mis-sur-orbite-20221115 |access-date=2023-02-01 |website=LEFIGARO |language=fr}} The video features Farmer and AaRON member Simon Buret travelling in a spaceship, while fellow band member Olivier Coursier assumes the role of a butler who serves them some kind of blue liquid. At the end of the video, the singers encounter extraterrestrial life. The video received positive critical reaction and was favourably compared to the science fiction films Melancholia, 2001: A Space Odyssey and Arrival. Commercially, the single underperformed on the French radio and video charts. A remix EP was released on 24 February 2023.{{Cite web |title=Hashtag NP on Instagram: "#MYLÈNEFARMER " Rayon vert ", second extrait de l'album " L'emprise " en duo avec @aarontheband, sortira au format maxi vinyle / CD / digital le 24 février, avec des remixes de @vitalicofficial, Motherweshare et @_johnlordfonda_.

Critical reception
L'Emprise received generally positive reviews from music critics. Critics positively commented on the album's cohesion, lyrics and composition, but some noted that the album lacked stand-out songs. Michel Troadec for Ouest-France named L'Emprise as one of Farmer's best albums, highlighting her clear and pure voice. According to Natalie Grosskopf for La Voix du Nord, L'Emprise is Farmer's best body of work since her 1999 album Innamoramento.{{Cite web |last=Grosskopf |first=Natalie |date=2022-12-01 |title=Mylène Farmer sort un douzième album pour "rallumer les étoiles" |url=https://www.lavoixdunord.fr/1261252/article/2022-12-01/mylene-farmer-un-douzieme-album-pour-rallumer-les-etoiles |access-date=2023-02-01 |website=La Voix du Nord |language=fr}} Grosskopf praised Woodkid's composition, which "matches" Farmer's universe well, and complimented Farmer's voice, which sounds "even more serious than before, still seeks high notes that make you shiver." Luc Lorfèvre for Moustique also complimented Woodkid's production and its compatibility with Farmer's artistry.
In a more mixed review, Jean Blaquière for Sud Ouest commended Farmer's lyrics and the coherence of the album, but noted that L'Emprise lacks really striking songs. Anne-Sophie Jahn for Le Point praised the complexity of Farmer's lyrics, highlighting that the words deal with "control, adrenaline, desire, the disappearance of self."{{Cite web |last=Jahn |first=Anne-Sophie |date=2022-11-25 |title=Que vaut le nouveau Mylène Farmer ? |url=https://www.lepoint.fr/pop-culture/que-vaut-le-nouveau-mylene-farmer-25-11-2022-2499155_2920.php |access-date=2023-02-01 |website=Le Point |language=fr}} However, she identified that the album sounds monotonous and it lacks hit songs. Similarly, Pure Charts noted the lack of popular hits and criticised Moby's production as dated.{{Cite web |title=Mylène Farmer : que vaut son nouvel album "L'emprise" ?
