Lettre infinie is the sixth studio album by M, released on 25 January 2019.[1]
It follows the album Îl, which was released in 2012. Two singles were released ahead of the album: "Superchérie" on 13 December 2018, and "Lettre infinie" on 14 January 2019.[2][failed verification]
The tracklist was revealed on 24 November 2018,[citation needed] and the album was released on 25 January 2019. The artwork features an alternating black and white interlocking pattern of the letter "M".[citation needed] At the bottom center is a portrait of the singer wearing a golden wig.[3][failed verification]
The track "Superchérie" was co-written with musician Thomas Bangalter, a member of the duo Daft Punk. The track "L'Alchimiste" was written by Brigitte Fontaine. Matthieu Chedid's daughter, Billie, contributed her voice to eight tracks on the album, mostly for background vocals. The final track of the album is dedicated to her.[4] "L'Autre Paradis" is a song dedicated to Raphaël Hamburger, a friend of the singer and the son of Michel Berger and France Gall, to whom the song pays tribute. The title is a nod to Berger's song "Le Paradis blanc".[citation needed]
