French Music (la musique française)

[Breeze]

Hey everyone.

I've started using an online site called duolingo to:

1) See how effective the program is and
2) Teach myself a bit of French.

The only problem is I haven't really been immersed in the French language all that much before so I don't have a very good French accent at all. I only know a select amount of music that I like from the country and a few films.

The only artist I know of and like is Alizée (as seen below)

It would be a big help if anyone out there could point me in the direction of some French music so I can help improve my listening and pronunciation skills.

thanks in advance. =]

Apparently, I can't include more than one video in a post, so I left them as links.

Listening to French hip hop helped me a lot:

Thank you guys so much.

I was starting to think I was never going to get a reply.

Once I have a little free time outside of work I'm going to be enjoying all of these, thank you. =]

How so do you mean French is a soft language?

In terms of spoken or in terms of being romantic? =]
