You might have heard about a weblog called “Filles Sourires“. It’s a website about “Fragile Girls Singing in French, Making me Sigh”. In the Dutch media it was mentioned a couple of times recently, both for example in national newspaper “De Volkskrant” as on television show “The Wereld Draait Door”. I ended up on this website a while back through some obscure link and had a look around. It was quite interesting, you should pay it a visit.
However, we musn’t forget the somewhat more classic French singers, who may or may not be fragile at all but still should be able to make you sigh. If not for their fragile faces, at least for their timeless songs. Try French music for yourself and start out with some of the heroes of times passed.
