Thanks for the replies. I've gotten two albums, both of which are good and fairly clearly sung.
Guillaume Grand... sounds a bit like James Morrison and/or Jack Johnson. Good music and easy to understand. The whole family likes this CD, and the song Toi et Moi is on Lyrics training (which is where I discovered him). Rafael... sounds a bit like a lite version of Radiohead. Fairly clear singing. Not bad music. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I really like listening to the radio program "Bonjour chanson." You can find it on
Public Radio Exchange (PRX) If that link doesn't take you there directly, you may have to sign up (its free). There are nine seasons of the program and each episode introduces a handful of French songs from rap to traditional "chanson." The host Charles Spira introduces each song and reads a translation of the first stanza. I've found a lot of great music this way. Here's a description from the latest episode: French Language Popular Music celebrates the human experience and does so in a million exciting ways. In this episode, Lise Chemla, a French artist who spent time in Detroit, professes her love for "evertything automobile" and the celebrated artist Juliette tells us what "elegant undies" are all about. We hear a famous rock song from the 90's interpreted by Alain Bashung and we are introducted to Jean-Louis Aubert who was the creator of the French Rock Group "Telephone", but who struck out on his own in the eighties, and there is more 4 persons have voted this message useful | |

I would recommend Pierre Lapointe (he's Quebecois) since his music is REALLY good and he enunciates very clearly.

Just a couple minutes ago, while listening to France Inter, I heard a song that really lifted my spirits. From what I'm listening to right now, other songs by this guy are also good. Here it is:
