Mes Courants Électriques (English: "my electric currents") is the second studio album by the French singer Alizée. It was released on 18 March 2003. Though not as successful as her previous album, Gourmandises, this album still sold more than 400,000 copies in the first three months of its release. Unlike her previous album, which was entirely in French, this album has English versions of four of its songs. As with Alizée's first album, the entire production was the work of Mylène Farmer (Lyrics) and Laurent Boutonnat (Music), but this would be the pair's last work with Alizée.
Unlike Alizée's earlier album, this album was customised for different markets, with slightly different contents. The French version did not contain any English versions of any of the tracks, whereas the international version included four English language renditions. The Japan version refers to "J'en ai marre!" as "Mon bain de mousse". In Taiwan and Hong Kong, and other traditional Chinese spoken parts of Asia, this album was launched as a 2-CD set, along with an Enhanced CD, not playable on DVD/VCD players, featuring videos of "Moi... Lolita" and "I'm Fed Up!".
Following Alizée's decline in popularity in the past few years, the physical version of the album is now out of print.
Mes Courants Électriques was released on 18 March 2003 two years after her previous album Gourmandises. Released on the Universal Distribution label this was the last album recorded on this label, and was seen as the album to reinforce Alizée's international career, being a guest star on many TV shows around the world, but it wasy focussed on the Asian market, as she visited Japan in 2003 and was the spokesperson for many Japanese products. In this album Alizee was showing she is growing. Mes Courants Électriques tones down some of the overt sexual themes of her debut album, but retains the energy. Mes Courants Électriques was digitally mastered using 24-bits technology and follows the libertine philosophy of her mentor, Mylène Farmer.
