Let's face it: throughout the world, much of the soundtrack is English-language pop music: American, British, Irish, take your pick. However, that doesn't mean that there's not a lively enough scene in France, and in the French language. For the last musical posting, I looked at French-themed songs by non-French singers. But for these songs it's the reverse: French singers referencing the English-speaking world. First off is our favorite: SAULE and Charlie Winston with their Wild West video "Dusty Men":
Or Gerald De Palmas, singing "Dans Une Larme" -- a beautiful, raspy French song, with a video that's about as American as it gets:
Juliette Katz, with "Tout Va de Travers" -- a mellow, jazzy French song, with hints of English, and shots of London:
And last, but by no means least, a re-make of a classic French song, "Je te Donne" originally by Jean-Jacques Goldman. I remember this song from when I was here over 25 years ago, and I guess now it's retro-hip in the bilingual remake by Leslie and Ivyrise. It's a love song, and the video itself is an homage to two great cities: London and Paris.
