Les Mots bleus (English: Blue Words) is a 1974 album by French singer Christophe based on the ballad of the same name.[1] Along with its groundbreaking predecessor album Les Paradis Perdus it revived the career of Christophe in the 1970s which, had taken a downturn following the initial success of "Aline" in 1965.[2][3][4] Jean-Michel Jarre wrote the lyrics for the title track, which has been described as "outstanding" by Billboard magazine.[3] It is considered one of the top albums and songs of French pop music.[5] In 2010, the French edition of Rolling Stone magazine put it at number 45 in its list of the best albums of French rock.[6]
