Editing Brigitte Fontaine (section)

===2001–present===
Her albums ''[[Kékéland]]'' (2001) and ''[[Rue Saint Louis en l'Île]]'' (2004) benefited from prestigious collaborations with artists such as [[Noir désir]] (with whom she also co-wrote and recorded the 23-minute track ''L'Europe'' on [[des Visages des Figures]]<ref>[http://www.noirdez.com/paroles/leurope.htm L'Europe lyrics, Noir Desir & Brigitte Fontaine]</ref>), [[Sonic Youth]], [[Archie Shepp]], [[Matthieu Chedid|- M-]], [[Gotan Project]], [[Zebda]], etc. In 2005, after having given a series of concerts with her usual band (but also with La Compagnie des musiques à ouïr), she published a new novel, ''La Bête curieuse'', whose erotic ambiance somewhat foretold the tonality of her sixteenth album, ''[[Libido (Brigitte Fontaine album)|Libido]]'' (2006). This new album renewed her concerts with a lively energy and gave them a very "baroque 'n' roll" ambiance, in which [[Teresa of Avila]], [[Sufism|Sufis]], Hollywood films, and [[Melody Nelson]] are invoked.

In October 2006, Fontaine appeared at the [[Barbican Centre]] in London along with [[Jarvis Cocker]], [[Badly Drawn Boy]] and other English artists, for the first public interpretation of the mythic "Histoire de Melody Nelson". In January 2007, she appeared onstage with graphic novelist [[Blutch]] at the [[Angoulême International Comics Festival]]. On 29 March 2007, she invested in the [[Paris Olympia|Olympia]] music hall, supported by her friends [[Jacno]], [[Arthur H]], [[Christophe (singer)|Christophe]], [[Anaïs (singer)|Anaïs]], [[Jacques Higelin]], [[Maya Barsony]] and [[Jean-Claude Vannier]]. In April, she played at the [[Printemps de Bourges]] music festival and participated in her [[French-speaking Quebecer|Québécois]] admirer [[Pierre Lapointe]]'s concert for a duo of "La Symphonie pastorale". After having given a series of intimate concerts all through September on a barge anchored under the [[Pont des Arts]] on the [[Seine]] river in Paris, Fontaine toured throughout France. Between two concerts, she went into the studio with [[Olivia Ruiz]] to record a new single, "Partir ou rester", for which she wrote the lyrics.

In February 2008, she published a new novel, ''Travellings'' by [[Groupe Flammarion|Flammarion]], while [[Benoît Mouchart]] wrote a monograph on her life and work("Brigitte Fontaine, intérieur/extérieur"), published by Panama. A new album titled ''[[Prohibition (album)|Prohibition]]'' and produced by [[Ivor Guest, 4th Viscount Wimborne|Ivor Guest]] including collaborations with [[Grace Jones]] and [[Philippe Katerine]] was subsequently released in the fall of 2009. The lyrics of this new work mark the return of Brigitte Fontaine to an anti-authority political position.

In March 2011 she released a new album, also produced by Ivor Guest. It is called ''[[L'un n'empêche pas l'autre]]'', and consists primarily of duets, among others the dance track 'Dancefloor' with [[Grace Jones]], which Polydor uploaded on their official site.<ref>« Je n'avais pas apprécié quand il est venu jouer avec moi au Trianon deux chansons et que la chronique du spectacle dans le ''Parisien'' n'a parlé que de ça. », ''Brain Magazine'', 26 novembre 2013.</ref> In 2013, she released her latest album, named ''[[J'ai l'honneur d'être]]''. The video for the first single "Crazy Horse" has been directed by [[Enki Bilal]].
