Osez!

Alain Bashung passed away on March 14, 2009. To mark that date, Le Couleur released an interesting cover version of his Osez Josephine. Without that slide guitar, but with extra danceability:

Certainly not the first time Osez Josephine got covered. Remember this one?

Lady Lola

Just a few singles under her belt, very pop but in a good way. This new track (I heard it on the Nouveautés stream on FIP) is more jazzy, slow, sultry. Her music is mostly moody, also in a nice way. A name to keep track of. Find more tracks on Soundcloud HERE. Instagram HERE.

Anna Majidson

One of the newest and most interesting voices in French music, Anna Majidson. This track, titlesong of her new EP, is a gorgeous, modern, beats-heavy track with just enough tristesse to make it a real Sad Banger.

Jeanne Côté

Very sweet, dreamy track from the second album by French-Canadian singer Jeanne Côté:

Delphine

From Quebec, and with a lotta sultry soul in her voice and music (gotta love that electric piano), this is the strongest song on Delphine’s new EP:

Marie-Flore

She’s coming over to Amsterdam, on March 13 (other dates HERE), which is nice:

Myra

From her wonderful new EP, this beautiful track by the exquisitely voiced Myra:

La Bronze

You wanted it more modern? But sexy? Try this:

Coline BLF

So, Coline BLF released an EP with six tracks. Some we already knew, some new songs. This is the opening track, and like other Coline-songs, it’s the cool sound of today’s French (-language) pop.
