Labo M (2003) is the third studio album by French singer-songwriter Matthieu Chedid in his persona as -M-. It's an all-instrumental work which, considering that one of -M-'s trademarks had previously been his inventive wordplay, caused some degree of discontent amongst parts of his fan base.[2] Remarkably successful for an instrumental work, the album entered the French charts at number 27[3] but proved to be a stopgap with the full studio album Qui de nous deux appearing later the same year.
The album's title meaning "M's Laboratory", is a pun on La Bohème as well as the name of Chedid's recording studio.[4]
