Un autre univers is the sixth studio album, and first entirely French language release, by Australian singer Tina Arena, released on 6 December 2005. It reached number 9 on the French chart in November 2006, its highest position since entering the chart almost a year earlier. The album was certified platinum in France.
The album blends acoustic guitars, eastern strings and driving rhythms. The 13-track album includes a duet with the French singer Henri Salvador, "Et puis après". Although never released as a single, the song was included on two subsequent records: the French compilation The Best & le meilleur and the concept record Songs of Love & Loss. The track was one of the veteran French singer's final recordings, becoming a standout cut from the album due to the high profile of the collaboration.
The title track is a French language re-working of "Woman" from previous studio album, Just Me. The title translates into English as "another universe".
