so can anyone recommend good french pop,baroque,tradiotional music. or anything french and or paris sounding..cabaret will work as well..

Edith Piaf. Torch singer; amazing. See the movie too. Heartbreaking beautiful.

Jaques Brel, even though from good ole België, also a great artist; his songs are revered by Bono and David Bowie.

Wanna go funky? Go for Sinclair. Esp his La Bonne Attitude, love, love, love it.

[ There's a song I love right now on his myspace profile called "Pacey's." Do check it out. Great French house music if you need a electronic fixx. ]

April March - Chick Habit EP is sung entirely in French (except for the title track which also appears in English.) It's great, sunny 60s-style French pop. Highly recommended.

And don't forget the Plastic Bertrand!

Hehehe, electronic too?

Air
Justice
The Maison Kitsuné label.

France Gall.

The location says L.A, but she's French.



Cyesm.....fans of slightly darker trip hop will probably like. Someone sent me a mix with some of this on it.....very likable.

AMEN.

Kitsuné is the business.

Them and Ed Banger were making a lot of noise this year.

@ both of you.

I liked a song by Mark Farina called "Dream Machine (Downtempo Mix)." I got it off of one of those comps.
