Hello, I am french and I would recommend as french pop: - Miossec, his first album Boire is the thing to begin with I think - Dominic A, You could focus on "la memoire neuve" (Lithium records) (doesn't mean it is the best one but the easiest to find I guess) - Philippe Katerine - Autour de lucie (Label: Le village vert) - Superflux (on Lithium I think) And loads of others but if you can find those you are allready lucky and they are doing really great french pop songs and definitly worth listening to!
i was thinking of doing another show about pop music sung in french. doesn't have to be specifically from france, since there are all those other french speaking countries. it would be interesting to get groups that are from canada and africa, as well as france. doesn't have to be new either, since there are certainly some interesting things from the past. the only two artists/groups i know that are french are serge gainsbourg and stereolab, so suggestions, etc are quite welcome (please!). all i ask is that they be worth listening to. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@missprint.org".
