1	Quelqu'un M'a Dit (2003) more music like this by Carla Bruni Carla Bruni is an Italian supermodel and this is her first album. Like Milla Jovovich's debut, this caught everyone by surprise. It's a very good effort, far beyond what one would have expected. It's an acoustic and intimate album, and the songs are from her own harvest. She also plays guitar. The talented French guitarist Louis Bertignac produced ... see all copies from $16.48! new only from $16.48!
2	Éternelle (2000) more music like this by Edith Piaf EMI's U.K. collection of Edith Piaf, titled Éternelle, is quite a nice set that includes many of Piaf's numerous hits, such as "La Vie en Rose" and "La Goualante du Pauvre Jean." Overall, Éternelle is comparable to the U.S. mainstay on Capitol Records, The Voice of the Sparrow: The Very Best of Edith Piaf, but with only seven of the 18 songs ... see all copies from $9.04! new only from $9.04!
3	The Voice of the Sparrow: The Very Best of Edith Piaf (1991) more music like this by Edith Piaf Capitol's The Voice of the Sparrow: The Very Best of Edith Piaf offers 18 selections from the Edith Piaf songbook, in nearly every case the best version of the song -- whether performed during the '30s, '40s, or '50s. Many of her best songs are here, from her signature songs -- "La Vie en Rose" and "L'Accordéoniste" -- to "Hymne À l'Amour" and ... see all copies from $7.72! new only from $10.79!
4	Infiniment (2004) more music like this by Jacques Brel As of the fall of 2004, the only significant Jacques Brel title in print in the U.S. was Verve Records' 16-track 1988 compilation Master Serie (although, of course, many imports were available to Americans through mail order). That suggested the time was right to bring out a new collection, and DRG has licensed the 40-track, two-CD 2003 Universal ... see all copies from $10.45! new only from $11.61!
5	Only Love: The Best of Nana (1991) more music like this by Nana Mouskouri Includes Nana's English covers of '80s hits like Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time." Bil Carpenter, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $15.11!
6	No Promises (2007) more music like this by Carla Bruni After the runaway success of her charming, folksy first album, Quelqu'un M'a Dit, Carla Bruni's sophomore effort takes a more difficult route and sees her setting canonical works by such poets as Yeats and Emily Dickinson to music. The lines "Wrapping that foul body up/In as foul a rag" in Yeats' "Those Dancing Days Are Gone" are delivered almost ... see all copies from $12.06! new only from $12.06!
7	Edith Piaf: 30th Anniversaire (1994) more music like this by Edith Piaf Capitol Records compiled a definitive collection of Edith Piaf's work 30 years after her death; the compilation includes both the well-known ("La Vie en Rose," "Milord," "Padam...Padam," "Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien," etc.) and the hard to find (including "Johnny Tu N'Es Pas un Ange," "Un Dimanche à Londres," "À Quoi Ça Sert l'Amour?," and "A L ... see all copies from $17.95! new only from $25.77!
8	Clandestino (1998) more music like this by Manu Chao The first solo album released by the former frontman of Mano Negra, Clandestino is an enchanting trip through Latin-flavored worldbeat rock, reliant on a potpourri of musical styles from traditional Latin and salsa to dub to rock & roll to French pop to experimental rock to techno. Chao's voice tends to be a bit nasally, but the best songs ( ... see all copies from $8.94! new only from $12.61!
9	Christmas Album (2003) more music like this by Nana Mouskouri see all copies from $13.71! new only from $14.78!
10	Les Retrouvailles (2005) more music like this by Yann Tiersen see all copies from $14.99! new only from $14.99!
11 view cover	Histoire de Melody Nelson (1971) more music like this by Serge Gainsbourg You don't need to speak a word of French to understand Histoire de Melody Nelson -- one needs only to look at the front cover (with its nearly pornographic portrait of a half-naked nymphet clutching a rag doll) or hear the lechery virtually dripping from Serge Gainsbourg's sleazily seductive voice to realize that this is the record your mother ... see all copies from $12.35! new only from $18.81!
12 view cover	Putumayo Presents: French Café (2003) more music like this by Various Artists Putumayo's first geographically based CD after their tenth anniversary celebrations, French Café covers the narrow concept of café music in an admirable manner, including a number of styles that have made their way through the Parisian café systems and/or are inspired by the work of previous artists among the café elite. Some of the classic ... see all copies from $10.84! new only from $13.37!
13 view cover	Putumayo Presents: Paris (2006) more music like this by Various Artists Following the successful French Café compilation, Putumayo here updates the French sound, but in a tricky way. The sound on this album is again chanson, the music of the French café culture. Now though, it's the core of la nouvelle scène instead: younger, more world-influenced artists performing chanson with their own touches and flair. The ... see all copies from $10.68! new only from $13.37!
14 view cover	La Vie en Rose: La Môme (2007) more music like this by Original Soundtrack While the soundtrack to the 2007 Edith Piaf biography, La Vie en Rose (aka La Môme) -- which features a fantastic performance by Marion Cotillard as the Sparrow -- doesn't include only Piaf songs (that's only the first third), the rest of the album, filled out by pieces from the original score and versions of some of her songs ("Les Hiboux," "Mon ... see all copies from $13.38! new only from $16.51!
15 view cover	Putumayo Presents: French Playground (2005) more music like this by Various Artists Culling songs from both pop artists and children's artists from all over the Francophile world, Putumayo Presents: French Playground is a fun, bright look into the realm of French music. All of it is child-friendly, with jazzy chords and optimistic vocals. L'Autobus à Vapeur's "Bonjour, Bonjour" is especially catchy and is a great way not only to ... see all copies from $10.86! new only from $13.20!
16 view cover	Nouvelle Vague [14 Tracks] (2004) more music like this by Nouvelle Vague The best compliment that can be paid to Nouvelle Vague's self-titled debut album: it isn't as arch and smirking as a collection of bossa nova versions of new wave classics by fetching French and Brazilian chanteuses would suggest. Based on the concept alone, Nouvelle Vague seems similar to the work of jokesters like the Mike Flowers Pops or ... see all copies from $9.83! new only from $12.46!
17 view cover	Bande a Part [Bonus Tracks] (2006) more music like this by Nouvelle Vague It was something of a small miracle that the first Nouvelle Vague album managed to avoid the seemingly inherent kitsch of covering new wave classics as slinky bossa nova. Unfortunately, the group doesn't quite pull it off the second time around. Bande a Part has several songs that meet the standard set by Nouvelle Vague: "The Killing Moon," "Dance ... see all copies from $11.11! new only from $14.60!
18 view cover	Love and the Beat, Vol. 1 (2005) more music like this by Serge Gainsbourg Love and the Beat, Vol. 1 is the first of two retrospective volumes from Mercury and one of the precious few Serge Gainsbourg recordings available in the United States. As a compilation, it's solid. Beginning with "L'Eau à la Bouche" from 1960, it includes many of the late French songwriting legend's greatest tunes, including "La Javanaise," ... see all copies from $13.22! new only from $14.95!
19	The Originals (2006) more music like this by Serge Gainsbourg see all copies from $7.81! new only from $10.64!
20 view cover	La Biographie de Luka Philipsen (2002) more music like this by Keren Ann Like Coralie Clément, Keren Ann may not have the widest range, but she makes the most of it. Her vocals are light, delicate, and pretty, as if she has found a way to combine talking, whispering, and singing into one fluid approach (and as if she has listened to a few Astrud Gilberto albums in her time). La Biographie de Luka Philipsen was the ... see all copies from $13.70! new only from $13.70!
21 view cover	Hymn to Love: All Her Greatest Songs in English (1996) more music like this by Edith Piaf see all copies from $10.79! new only from $10.79!
22 view cover	Love Story [Original Soundtrack] (1970) more music like this by Original Soundtrack Francis Lai's score to Love Story is suitably romantic, evoking both the beauty and tragedy of the hit film itself. Raymond McKinney, All Music Guide see all copies from $3.77! new only from $3.77!
23 view cover	Piano Bar (2002) more music like this by Patricia Kaas Patricia Kaas' 2002 release Piano Bar is a lovely, seductive collection of romantic mood music, pulled directly from the chanteuse tradition but sounding utterly contemporary. Some credit must go to producer/arranger Michel Legrand, who keeps the polished surface softly glimmering, yet this is merely a stage for Kaas, whose vocals are never flashy ... see all copies from $7.32! new only from $8.92!
24 view cover	Enchante: The Greatest French Stars 1927-1947 (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Here's an index of mid-20th century popular French music, laid out in recordings made between 1926 and 1947. Gaps in the fabric are perhaps inevitable; the absence of Yvette Guilbert, for example, is regrettable. The earliest examples feature sultry Mistinguett (born Jeanne-Marie Bourgeois) whose date of birth is estimated as early as 1873; her ... see all copies from $2.55! new only from $10.83!
25 view cover	Birth of Cornelius (2007) more music like this by Corneille see all copies from $19.05! new only from $32.89!
