LOL no we don't. Jérémy sucks as a clothing designer, and I'm not at all sure he's any good as a manager, either, and as a performer, well, the less said the better, but he can write music. If Psychédélices has a flaw, it's that it can't figure out what kind of music it wants to be, but I understand that was intentional. The tunes are catchy and often very original, and although the J-man is young and still has far to go to reach his peak, he shows a lot of promise. I like his work. Lots of other people here do, too. Don't confuse your own personal taste and opinion with objective fact. Besides, he wasn't the only composer, although his work is strongly represented.

Where M&L are missed is not the composition but that they are such experienced professionals when it comes to the music business. There, sadly, their absence is telling. But hey, Mylène herself had to learn the ropes when she was Alizée's age. There's no teacher like experience.

but for the sake of art one has to do the right thing artistically
But that's one of the main reasons she left Mylène. She wanted to strike out on her own, and perform music that was more representative of who she is.

Anyway, her career is not over. Psychédélices wasn't the walloping success that Gourmandises was, but it did well enough that she can keep going. Let's not play the funeral music just yet.
