Seems legit! Oh happy day it is! :D

With my very limited French, I believe it said She's starting to think about her returning with a new pop album. If there's any truth to this, I guess it means a return to what worked for her to begin with and it also sounds like it's just an idea at the moment.

Oh please can it be true!!!! :D:D:D

[2] That would be awesome! :)

Sweeeeet

It'd be nice to see a more "general mass" pop album once again, although I hope and believe that she won't go back to music that sounds alot like her first two albums just for the sake of sales.

One of the things I respect most about her is that she, as she said herself, currently does music the way she wants it. If electro was her thing it'd be sad to see her throw all that away just because it wasn't popular. But then again electro probably didn't bring her as close to her fans as she wanted.

Personally, I think this rumour is a bit too soon with UEDS not having been out for even a year, I would like to see some sort of tour, small if anything, before UEDS is cast aside.

I have never really been a true fan of anyone else than Lili, so is it normal for singers to start working on a new album quickly if the latest one doesn't do well? She did have the chance to perform alot more with Psych than UEDS, so maybe she is eager to get back to that?

You are right about the “starting to think” part in the French version. Also the “son retour” (her return) instead of just “un retour” (a return) gives it a meaning:

Closer to:
“she has taken the decision to release a new pop album, but is just starting to think about getting the process going”

Then :
“she is starting to think about the possibility of making a return with a pop album”

Some people will surely tell you that it means this or that for sure, but I think there is room for some interpretation there.

Who posts on this Facebook account? How official is this?

I don't believe UEDS was meant to be a concert type of album. But with a new album that could be concert material then perhaps a couple UEDS songs could be integrated into a tour.????

I think she is going back to what works. The Child of the Century was a concept album that didn't meet her sales expectations. When your selling 500K Cds you can do a concept album once and a while. In Alizée's case it isn't something you want to do when your not at the top of your game as they say. I think going back to a more mass appealing musical style is a very positive move on her part. :)

I can't see it happening any time soon but i'm sure the thought of a new album is in her mind.
I would imagine that it takes a long time to prepare so wouldn't be at all surprised if the very initial preps are going ahead.
