Point de Suture is the seventh studio album by French singer-songwriter Mylène Farmer, and her 14th album overall. Precedeed by the lead single "Dégénération", it was released digitally on August 20, 2008, then on CD five days later. This album, which contains especially songs with electro sonorities, marked an important musical change in the singer's career. Variously received in the media which, mainly, criticized it for a lack of innovation, the album had however success on the French, Swiss, Belgian and Russian charts.
For the name of this album, Mylene drew her inspiration from Al Pacino's sentence in the 1993 film Carlito's Way, that which appears inside the digipack : "All the stitches of the world cannot sew us again". To promote his album, Farmer accepted to participate in the TV news of August 31, 8 pm, on TF1. Interviewed by Claire Chazal, she explained that she used the singular in the title of the album because it is (in French-language) a pun between "Stitch" (which evokes a hope) and "No suture" (which expresses a despair). In an interview for the French gay magazine Têtu, Farmer confided that, if somebody did not know her work, she would wish that this person learns to know her through the hidden track of the album, "Ave Maria", whom she had previously performed in June 2008 during the funeral of the composer Frédéric Botton. The photos illustrating this album were made by a Japanese photographer.
This album was announced as being very different from the previous ones in musical and promotional terms. About this album, Farmer explained during an interview : "If I compare it with the previous album Avant que l'ombre…, it will probably be more electronic… with many "up tempo" songs." According to Thierry Suc, "in this album, there will be a little all the universes that characterize Mylène's albums". Critics noticed that it contains "melancholy ballads" (even if they are fewer on this album than on Avant que l'ombre…) as well as "songs with electro/techno sounds" and "electrodance" songs.
The subjects in this album are "sexuality, uneasiness, mantras, coded plays on words", "melancholy", "extreme love, purity, loneliness", "life, death, love tackled in turn with seriousness or humor". The album also evokes "the resilience and the indelible scars of the childhood" with numerous quotations and literary references (Süskind, Schubert, Baudelaire…).
