Bleu noir is the eighth studio album by the French singer Mylène Farmer, released on 6 December 2010. Bleu noir is Farmer's first album produced without her longtime collaborator Laurent Boutonnat. Instead, she collaborated with Moby, the British band Archive and producer-songwriter RedOne, known for his work on Lady Gaga's hits "Poker Face" and "Bad Romance". Farmer herself wrote all the lyrics, which, characteristically, abound with literary references, notably drawing from the works of Pierre Reverdy. The album received generally positive reviews from critics, who noted the variety of sounds and the contributions from different collaborators. Some went on to praise its overall quality and Mylène's vocal performances. The first single from the album, "Oui mais... non," composed by RedOne, was released on 11 October 2010. To promote the album, Farmer's record label set up a temporary website, which was launched on 3 November 2010. The music video for "Leila" premiered on the website on 22 November 2010, although there were no plans to release the song as a proper single. The album entered the French Digital Chart at number one, with over 9,100 downloads.
