Just a quick note to the ones who still come here (out of nostalgia?): I just started a weekly updated playlist with non-English (as in: all languages except English) pop music. Go HERE, it includes French language pop too, and lots and lots of soft sighing girls.
One more thing: the Dutch term ‘Zuchtmeisjes’ was coined on this blog, for it was a perfect description for the girls who rocked Filles Sourires: girls who sang ‘n sighed, girls who, if you saw them, made you sigh (out of content).
For Perfects.nl I made a Spotify- and Deezer-playlist with 27 tracks by girls who meant a lot to me, over the years. Girls that were featured many times, that I saw in person, that I spoke to in person (like Charlotte Gainsbourg, Carla Bruni, Marianne Dissard, Iris from Peppermoon, Coralie Clement, etc).

I’d like to reconsider.
For over ten years, this blog sang the praise of girls, singing in French. Plus the occassional guy, singing in French. Mostly.
It ends today. French music is alive and kicking, there’s not shortage of soft sighing girls, and thank heaven for them.
Merci for all the comments, guest-posts, tips and whatnot over the years. Thanks to Steve, Sky, FransS, David, Mark and Maks for keeping this blog up and running for so long.
If you want to keep up to date on French music, follow my Spotify playlist HERE, or check Steve’s blog regularly.
Music is forever. I’d like it very much if you would post your favourite track(s) of the past ten years of FillesSourires in the comments.
The bestest new French Christmas tune of the year! Plus a French husky take on the Mariah Carey-classic, all in one EP!
From the bestest French album of the year:
Yes, tis the season again. The first cool French Christmas song is out:
Seven years ago, Canadian songstress Maryse Letarte released an album of original Christmas songs, most of them in French. Which is nice. Now, she made another one. This is the title track.

More French x-mas music coming up!
