Listen To This: Nous aimons les français!

Filed under: Listen To This

1386004168_l.jpg

We love Love LOVE the French folk/pop scene!

Actually, there is so much great music coming out of France right now.

One of our favorite artists is this delightful singer/songwriter from Paris (and Israel) named Yael Naim.

She reminds us a lot of one of our other favorite French artists, SoKo.

Like her, Yael sings in English and her music is just so refreshing.

Naim's song New Soul is like having a yummy glass of Orangina with a splash of vodka!

It's just so lovely.

Enjoy the song below and then CLICK HERE to listen to some other songs from Yael Naim.

    Oh yeah French music is great (like you said Yelle, Yael) but also Tété and Pauline Croze (you're gonna love it Perez). But of course we have some big shit as you can have in US!!
    I'm your biggest French fan Perez! I visit your website everyday… That's crazy!
    Just one last thing, i watched the trailer of the new season of the Hills in France, the French boy who will date Lauren is so cliché!! lol
    I wonder why they will go in France.
    P.s : Whitney never did an internship in Vogue France, that's bullshit!
    Allez, bisous bisous (like Lauren says)

    Perez, why is it that every artist you hype uses that god-awful, pitch-correcting, synthesized vocal effect? There are a dozens of better artists out there who use their natural voices. Have some of your lackeys fetch you something better to listen to, toute suite!

    I Love your blog Perez although, sometimes, I don't understand what you wanna say ( American Expression :D ) !
    Kiss from The France !! ;)

    If you guys actually read her bio, you'll see that she was BORN in France but moved to Israel when she was 4…which make her both French and Israeli. She currently resides in Paris…
    I like this song but i've heard it so many times that it is starting to get on my nerves. On the other hand, the rest of the album is just GREAT, less "sesame street" as someone said ;-)

    You should see her video on stage where she sings Toxic of Britney in accoustic real good !!!!

    It sucks. She sings the same thing over and over again. LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA. I understand that English is not her first language, but at least try to learn a little more if you're going to sing it in English.

    sounds like Melanie, from back in the '60's. Too bubble-gum and derivative, but at least she's not over-processed like every other twat who "sings" today. I give her a B+.

    This is Regina Spektor-lite, who in turn is just Tori Amos-lite. Keep reinventing the wheel and mining that rich crease of quirky pop, ladies.
