Listen to:

Dum Dum Boys: if you like electro rock/indie-punk, I can highly recommend their album "Electronic Pop Music Created by...".

Not really my cup of tea, but if you like "la chanson française/variétés" you may try:

What to listen to in France, in French. Chanson Francaise
Selections linked to YouTube videos!

Cultural immersion class, attention!. Sample here contemporary Chanson Francaise.

Try Florent Pagny's "Chanter" Try Calogero's soaring anthem En Apesanteur (weightless) . Yann Tiersen's Fabuleux Destinee d' Amelie Poulin inspirational soundscapes. Pauline Croze, a voice that for a while made me give up listening to anything else.

Star Academy-winner Nolwen Leroy's Histoire Naturelle . Another star academy winner Gregory Lemarchal - sadly died so young, but shared with us the voice of an angel.

The musical Roi de Soleil" - brilliant songs to last a lifetime, discover Christophe Mae and Emanuelle Moire with their own albums. Christophe Willem, geek-style with a voice like few others.

The Antilles-scene offers the sinuous voice and songs of Perle Lama and the outstanding find Soha rarely off my cd player

The fearless hiphop satire of Michael Youn's Fatal Bazooka hits number one with "Parle a ma main" feat Yelle. Hilarious

Revival: the towering giant of French pop Michael Polnareff with Goodbye Marylou, a song that hits falsetto notes you never knew existed. What a man.
