Here's a video of Stromae's Carmen (with a similar tune to one of the movements from Georges Bizet's "Carmen"), which is a satirical look at social media popularity. "L'amour est comme l'oiseau de Twitter." (Love is like the bird of Twitter)

Stromae has been doing a US tour and appeared on Jimmy Kimmel, where he performed Carmen.

Here is Stromae singing Carmen Live at a music awards show.

Stromae is a very popular French artist. This song, Papaoutai, is a play on words that sounds like "Dad Where Are You." It's about a boy missing his absent father.

Here's Pentatonix's cover of Stromae's Papaoutai from the point of view of a child with an absent father.

Here's a side-by-side video of both Pentatonix & Stromae singing Papaoutai, about an absent father. Papaoutai is a play on words that, in French, sounds like "Dad, where are you?"

Here's the jazzy Zaz singing the fun Paris Sera Toujours Paris (Paris Will Always Be Paris)

Zaz is a cool, kind of jazzy singer. This song is Je Veux (I Want).

Here's a pretty song by Coeur de Pirate called Crier Tous Bas, which means Yelling Softly.

The Québecoise (French Canadian) singer, Coeur de Pirate (Heart of a Pirate) singing "Comme Des Enfants" (Like Children). It's a song about loving each other with the innocence of children.

Here is Coeur (<3) de Pirate singing Place de la République

Ingrid St-Pierre has a pretty voice. Here is the beginning of one of her playlists.

"La Vie du Bon Coté" (Life on the good coast/side) 

Here is Black M singing Sur Ma Route (on my way)

This singer is Corneille, singing Le Jour Apres La Fin Du Monde (The Day After The End Of The World). It's a song asking what will still be important to you, the day after the end of the world.

Corneille sings Les Sommets de Nos Vies (The Peaks/Summits/Heights of Our Lives). This should be in a Corneille playlist.

Corneille sings with rapper TLF "Le Meilleur de Monde" (The Best of the World)

Corneille sings Le Bar des (of) Sentimentalistes

Here is Louane singing Jour Un (Day One). 

A Monster In Paris is a cartoon (on Netflix!) that is originally in French, but is also in English. Vanessa Paradis, who is a famous French singer, actress, and model (and has a couple of kids with Johnny Depp) voices the lead girl in Un Monstre à Paris (both the French and English versions). This song, La Seine, is after the river that runs through Paris.

This is the beginning of a French Disney playlist. Many of the popular Disney songs are sung in French. Enjoy!

Here's Let It Go, en français! The subtitles show the English translation of the French lyrics. The top line is English, the middle line is French, and the bottom line is Italian. 

The French singer's name is Anaïs Delva

This is kind of cool. It shows 25 of the various Elsa's from around the world all singing Let It Go in their language.

Here's Tal singing Le Sens de la Vie (the feelings of life). This is part of a playlist.
