French-y? Music

I just watched possibly the scariest movie I’ve seen in a long time, Talk To Me, but unlike my eyes, my ears were quite happy with what they were receiving. “Le Monde” was a terrific original piece for a terrifying original picture, so here are some songs that also sounded a bit ‘Parisian’ to me.

France Gall – “N’écoute pas les idoles”

Antonio Muréna – “Melancolie”

Zan – “Yasmeen”
