9 is the 5th French album and 7th studio album in total to be released by the singer Lara Fabian.

Contents

The album is considered by many as a shift in Lara's music style, and vocal performance, primarily because it was Lara's first album that long time producer, Rick Allison, did not produce. The Album was produced by Jean-Félix Lalanne. He also, with Fabian, composed many of the songs in the album.

Special digipack editions of the album included a DVD of music videos for most of the songs on the album.

The album was followed by the "Un Regard 9" tour, which totaled over 60 concerts.
