Since 1985, Mylene Farmer (born in Quebec, but raised in France) and her musical collaborator, Laurent Boutonnat, have expanded the BirkinGainsbourg bedroom fantasy song into an entire cosmology of sighing songs and pensive, melancholy, fitfully melodic dances in which fin de siècle libertinism is the motive and intoxicated hallucination the saving grace. She is popular throughout Europe and not unknown in the U.S.
