Psychédélices (English:Psych-delights) is the third studio album by French recording artist Alizée, released on 3 December 2007 by RCA Records. It was the first album without collaboration with Mylene Farmer and Laurent Boutonnat. It was certified gold by the SNEP on March 2008, denoting shipments in excess of 80,000 copies in France. It was also certified gold in Mexico on August 2008 for shipments of over 50,000 copies in that country.
The title of the French singer's album was Psychedelices making reference to the plot of all the material. After a four-year hiatus, a time spent out of the media limelight, Alizée returned in December 2007 with a new album, Psychédélices, the first one to be made without the creative supervision of her former mentor, Mylène Farmer. The album, which features 11 tracks, was made available for digital downloads 26 November 2007, with a full release on 3 December 2007 on the RCA label. The album includes collaborations with Bertrand Burgalat, Daniel Darc, Oxmo Puccino, Jérémy Chatelain, Michel-Yves Kochmann, and Jean Fauque.
The first single extracted from the album was "Mademoiselle Juliette", officially released on 30 September 2007. It was accidentally released early on the Virgin Megastore website on 23 September 2007, but was taken down later citing an error on the part of Virgin Music, France. The single was later made available in online music stores as well as radio stations, and went on to capture the #13 spot on the legal music downloads charts. To promote the single, Alizée appeared on the French radio station, NRJ, on 27 September 2007. The video for the single was released for broadcast on 19 November 2007, though it was made available on MSN France on 16 November 2007. It was released on both CD and vinyl, on 21 January 2008.
