Égrégore is the upcoming thirteenth studio album by French recording artist Mylène Farmer, due to be released on 30 October 2026 by Stuffed Monkey ,#np and Sony. It is a follow-up to her 2022 studio album L'Emprise, consisting of thirteen tracks. It also includes her single "Confession"; a tribute to the late American filmmaker and director David Lynch, which was performed at Cannes in 2025. The album will be accompanied by the 65-minute film Égrégore: Le Film, which will be screened for one night in theatres across French-speaking Europe on 27 October 2026. It will feature work from five different filmmakers, each for a different song from the album: Julia Ducournau, Antonin Baudry, Thierry and Didier Poiraud, Gilles Lellouche and François Hanss.
Album title The word "Égrégore" comes from esoteric terminology and refers roughly to a collective spirit or psychic energy generated by a group united around shared desires, beliefs, or intentions. Farmer herself singled out égrégoire/égrégore as a favorite word in a 2025 interview, describing her attraction to the idea of "vibratory" communion. That makes the title particularly interesting for Farmer: her concerts and fan community can themselves be understood as an égrégore—thousands of people sharing the same symbols, songs, emotions, and rituals.
Singles The lead single from the album is "C'est à qui le tour", produced by DJ Lewis of Drake fame.
The music video was directed by Julia Ducournau, whom Farmer had met when she gave her her Palme d'Or for Titane at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival.
The second single "Des lols et des quoi" was released on 11 September 2026 on digital platforms, along with the music video; which was directed by Thierry and Didier Poiraud.
Actor/director Gilles Lellouche also confirmed he would direct a music video for the album.
Artwork The artwork was designed by Jean-Baptiste Mondino who had already photographed Mylène Farmer for her 2018 studio album Désobéissance and her 2020 compilation album Histoires de.
