Hi guys, I'm just wondering what's the best type of music to listen to for the French oral? I have a good few songs from Couer de Pirate which I really like, but I can't seem to find any other good French musicians. Could anyone recommend some French music? Thanks

Slightly irrelevant, but Les Choristes is an excellent French movie if you want to take a study break/more procrastination at any stage! The songs and script are all in French, but there are subtitles and the story is brilliant!

I like Mika, Coeur De Pirate, and the song 'Ça Plane Pour Moi' (don't know who it's by), but in general I just check who's in the charts at the moment in France and listen to whatever songs aren't in English!

I don't do French but I think Yelle might suit your needs.

Tomte - Ich sang die ganze Zeit von dir
Tim Bendzko - Nur Noch Kurz Die Welt Retten
Spaceman Spiff - Gedankenstricke (love this)
Tokio Hotel - Durch den Monsun

They're quite indie and lovely, even if I don't understand a word.
