  • Musique de la France

    I've been looking for music that will supplement my studies in French, and one of the first places I turned was Youtube. I found three potential artists/bands, one of which I've already purchased music of, and I was wondering if anybody else had any suggestions.

    The first band I came across was Kyo. They had a solid sound, but every song I found of theirs on the Tube was slow and dark. I really want to know whether or not they do anything else before I import anything, because they're not available on iTunes.

    Through Kyo I found Pleymo. They had a sound more my style, but it seemed a bit too teenage rebel to me.

    After Pleymore I found Émilie Simon, who's name I'm unsure of how to pronounce exactly. I'm sure it's something along the lines of Eh-mee, but I'm bad at pronouncing French names that appear in English as well. One of her songs really got my attention, and I ended up buying one of her albums off iTunes because of it,

    and she has this unique electronic sound, but less than half of her songs are actually in French. It's disappointing, but she's definately a keeper. She's hot too, and I read she's married.

    Nonetheless, if anybody has any information on these three I'd love for you to share, and if you have any recommendations I'd love to here those as well.

    You pronounce it like Emily.

    I like Keren Ann, but she might not be to your taste. A lot more mellow. The other frustrating thing is that some of her songs are en Francais, and others are en anglais.
