    • A discussion on Mylène Farmer
      This week we have a discussion on French singer Mylène Farmer.  Mylène Farmer is an enigma, she has little to no online presence or social media profile and her personal life is a mystery, yet, she has sold over 30 million albums in France, sells out huge arenas and has had 20 number 1 singles in France!  She may be relatively unknown in the English speaking world and Thorsten will talk about he came to listen to her. We discuss her many styles and influences and talk about her amazing love performances which have to be seen to be believed.
