Cool French Musicians

Zaza is a cheeky performer who plays accordion both solo and with bands around France.
She sings about love, disillusionment and relationships and has a wicked sense of humour.
She has released 2 albums - her debut Zaza Fournier (2008), followed up by Regarde-Moi (2011).

Her songs include "La vie a deux" - a humorous take on the ups and downs of living together,
"Mademoiselle" - very french cabaret style tune about a transvestite,
"Regarde-Moi" - a sexy tune with a voyeuristic theme and
"Vodka Fraise" - interesting tune about a single girl drowning sorrows in alcohol when surrounded by happy couples.

Coralie Clement is a singer who has tried a wide variety of styles - from smooth jazz, latin jazz to rock and acoustic.

She has released 3 albums - Salle de pas perdus (Room of lost steps) (2001) , Bye bye beaute (2005) and
Toystore (2008).

Her voice is quite angelic at times - sweet and soaring, and some of her music has interesting themes eg questioning religion

Here is a very laid back dreamy tune "L'ombre et la lumiere" (The shadow and the light).

Anis is a French singer with a very soulful voice and some meloncholic tunes.
He plays a range of varieties such as Country, Blues and Soul.
I like his song "Dans tes yeaux" (In your eyes) - check it out on Youtube here

Very french sounding music, L sings smooth laid back jazzy tunes and has a powerful melodic voice.
You can imagine this music in a smoky Parisian club late at night.
