The ten best French albums (not necissarily from France, but songs sung in French) (mostly) were round up by ten ( twelve , actually) people. You might have checked out the websites of the artists. Here are songs from the ten (twelve, actually) Number One choices. Here's to another ten years of great French music! Lina - Redevenir Modeste (2003) ( Sky's top ten) Coralie Clément - Salle des...
Anna Maria from Sweden, a regular guestposter on FS, counts down her faves. Mylene Farmer is pictured (no. 3) 1 Vanessa Paradis - Divine Idyllle Peaceful and cute songs by mrs Depp. She has reason to be content. 2 Claire Diterzi - Tableau du chasse Inventive and lovely songs. The French Kate Bush? Quite possibly. 3 Myléne Farmer - Avant que l’ombre Still haunting and has some of her best...
Frans_S is a key figure for this blog. Without him, many tracks here would not've been posted. Here's his list. Pictured is Mareva Galanter (no.5) 1. Coeur de Pirate - Coeur de Pirate (2008) Suddenly there she was. Beatrice! A tattooed young girl with piano and songs that stuck in your head and heart. Deserves a place in the list, and not only to proof that there is French music in other countries...
Mordi, he of the brilliant Blowupdoll blog , made his list of poptastic French albums of the past 10 years. Alizée (no.7) is pictured. 1. Calogero - Pomme C. (2007) The emotive vocals of calogeo enfused with the songwriting of zazie make this album a pop/rock french masterpiece. 2. Carla Bruni - Comme Si De Rien N'etait (2008) i was surprised how much i enjoyed this - it blended all my favourite...
The roundup of the best French albums of the decade continues (all week!). FS-contributor Maks lines up his faves: 1 Arno - Charles Ernest (2002) Hors categorie. Not only because of it's brilliant Elisa cover with Jane Birkin on it. The Belgium phenomenon and chanteur de charme who as easily sings about his rising sissoyen as he sings about love and death made with Charles Ernest a landmark for himself....
Here's my list. Camille is pictured (no.8) 1 Coralie Clément - Salle des pas perdus (2002) The reason why Coralie Clément is in the header of this blog, is this album. My interest in French music, sung by sultry girls really took off when I first heard Salle. The whispered songs, the smokey atmosphere, the lyrics (by Benjamin Biolay), it's the holy trinity of Filles Sourires. 2 Benjamin...
The end is nigh! Well, the end of the decade that is, and whilst almost everyone is rounding up the best ten albums of the past ten years, why don't we? I asked several contributors and FS-friends to make up a list. I will post those lists in the upcoming days. Here's the first, by official FS-contributor Sky. (Pictured is Clare Muldaur from Clare & the Reasons, no.10) 1 Lina - Redevenir Modeste...

i'm too sure why or how this came about but this collection of songs sung by french actresses appeals very much to me. check out virginie ledoyen cover niagara and listen as valerie lemercier manages to make one of all time fave songs (par amour, par pitie) still sound heartbreaking. listen to marianne sing and chat at the bbc in 65 and 66. her voice is amazingly pure, innocent and very very english!...
Two album to look forward to: La Superbe by our hero Benjamin Biolay , and Le Clan des Miros by Renan Luce . Two gentils garçons who made strong albums before, and the first songs off their news cds are very, very promising. Luce returns to the mandolines that made Repenti such a brilliant song, Biolay takes his time (over 6 minutes) on the titletrack, brings out Coralie Clement (I guess),...
