Musicisfreedom 5,837 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 So I have been getting into Mylène Farmer lately and was very much enjoying her 1991 album L'autre and then this song came on and I felt like it sounded similar to Madonna's "Vogue" (this is no shade to Mylène I think it's fabulous). What do you guys think? am I just hearing things or does this have a very "Vogue" sound especially in the melody? And by the way, I totally recommend this album. Felt really atmospheric and ethereal while also upbeat and full of bops Bitch I'm Madonna Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Campana 15,284 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 The spoken part does reminds me of Vogue. But i don’t think it’s THAT similar. Does it matter? Damage is done Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not copycat similar. Just has a similar vibe/sound/melody. Still unique in its own way tho! Bitch I'm Madonna Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case, yes. But Vogue is still superior and I feel like this song lacks the ‘it’ factor Vogue had. Does it matter? Damage is done Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guillaume Hamon 6,443 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I'm french and here people call her "the french queen of pop" since her career is GIGANTIC. Seriously I ask myself if many countries have music stars with a similar path cause she basically never had even a semi-flop in 35 years of career and after all this time, each of her comeback is still a major event... To be honest I only see the spoken parts as similar and in the early 90s many pop singers around the world were including rapped parts or hybrid/ rap-like/ "spoken to the beat" parts in their pop songs so I think it was more a trend at the time that both madonna and mylène followed.

That's awesome to hear she has remained so successful and current with each album. I love hearing things like this. And yeah I can kinda see that, it does have a similar vibe as Vogue to me though, just less punchy and sassy. Both great tracks though.

Glamourpuss 29,062 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I've been getting into French music recently. I never knew they had big pop stars/artists, it's not something I've ever really thought about. Christine and the Queens is another one to check out for anyone interested and she has English versions of her songs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
