Métamorphoses is the thirteenth studio album by the French electronic musician and composer Jean-Michel Jarre, released by Sony Music in 1999, Epic Records on 24 January 2000 and by Disques Dreyfus on 25 May 2004 in the United States. The album was followed by two singles: "C'est la Vie" and "Tout Est Bleu".
Critical reception In Release Magazine, Niklas Forsberg wrote that "it is a musical flashback to a more enthusiastic and innovative Jean Michel Jarre" and added that "Jarre does it better when he's not influenced by anyone but himself." AllMusic writer, Thom Jurek described the album as "the most adventurous recording of Jarre's in a decade, and articulates his universal language of transcultural musicality and futuristic altruism fantastically."
