French pop

[MaryAnnSingleton]

have just downloaded 2 Carla Bruni songs - I love a bit of French pop - have Charlotte Gainsbourg and Francoise Hardy too

Stereolab are very good too.

How about Nolwenn Leroy's Histoire Naturelle and Mon Ange?

There is also Emilie Simon's Fleur de Saison. She is the girl who sings in the film "March of the Emperor".

I also like Tina Arena, especially her Je m'appelle Bagdad.

yes, big Stereolab fans here - thanks cote - will check those out

Veronique Riviere

and of course the lovely and mad-as-cheese

Mylene Farmer

and her protegee

Alizee

and last but not least

Patricia Kaas

ooh thanks ! am always searching for something new to add to my collection

Raphaël's Caravane

And I like Alizee.

Azelle Red is a great Belgian singer who sings mostly in french. She's been around for years and has got loads of stuff on youtube.

I mean Axelle Red Je me fâche

thanks belgo

Jean-Jacques Goldman

and

Zazie

another hit from Alizee here.

I could link you to all the Axelle Red songs as she's my favourite french singer but I will stick to Rester Femme - worth watching till the end and
je pense à toi

I'm enjoying listening to the music on this thread.

Mieux

This lot take me right back

Et puis Les heures ou je m'eclipse

Ella, elle l'a

I hadn't realised Kate Ryan's Ella Elle L'a was a cover.

Kate Ryan's Desenchantee.

France Gall peut etre?

I see Marina beat me to it (but the early stuff is better)

Etienne Daho... and there my knowledge of French Pop shudders to a grinding halt.

Ah, belgo, I see you have linked to Alizee's tribute to the Smiths guitarist.

I am going to try and listen to all the links on here today.

me too- thanks everyone !

rofl UQD . Never thought of it like that!

Not really pop, and you probably already have it:

Je ne t'aime plus

I like Manu Chao. I thought he was Spanish?

half french, half spanish - sings in both and English a bit.

Used to be in the French band Mano Negra
