Not much to say other than I have sort of fallen in love. Coeur de pirate (aka Béatrice Martin) is a 21 year old French Canadian singer. There is little for me not to like about her - she sings in french, she uses the glockenspiel and she writes quirky yet dainty melodies. You can listen to more of her here or wait for her second album due out later this year.
Can't talk about any sort of French music without putting a bit of my favourite francophone musician up here:
Yann Tiersen.
Everything about him is genius. You make recognise the relatively famous piece below. The Piano is a beautiful video I just stumbled across with Tiersen's music set to it and La Plage is just another great piece I like to listen to.
Et voila.
